But ... holy shit, she writes the way she talks! I can understand sounding like an idiot off the cuff, but she had plenty of time to think about the words in that book. And several other people had the chance to read and revise those words. And after all that, the words on the page are just as incoherent as the ones

He travelled.

If the marketplace didn't want them, they wouldn't need a rule. When teams could draft high school players, they couldn't resist the urge to take big risks on 18-year-olds. Hell, Wiggins might have gone first last year.

The jean shorts in late October, with hiking boots, revealing the meaty calves of a portly man who never gets cold. Shorts season never ends for this guy.

My wife and I found a pretty easy way to handle this problem.

If that had gone as he apparently planned it, the only difference would be that both guys would have wound up in the hospital.

This is why I don't watch the NBA. Just look at him carrying the balls, and they didn't even call traveling.

My Buick is more valuable than LeBron's Bentley or Rolls or whatever. If you took my car away, I'd be on the bus. If you took LeBron's top car away, he'd still have an impressive array of commuting options.

Woe to the poor FBI intern who thought it would be funny to Photoshop Eli Manning into this one.

You might not be much fun either if you knew you were going to die soon.

Love the part where Jack just shoves Festus Ezeli in a futile effort to alert him to the fact that a fast break is happening right behind him.

Looks like he did, but it only happened because he took a detour to run underneath Cousins' feet. I can't blame him for trying to hang a foul on Sac's best big man (and, on some nights, their only remotely competent player).

It's hard to watch a Hubie game and not learn something about basketball. I wish more commentators would take his professorial approach. Jeff Van Gundy probably knows as much basketball as Hubie, but he abandons it in favor of finding things to yell about.

Thanks, Deadspin. I can no longer recognize any NFL coach unless I'm watching a GIF of their flag-throwing motion.

A gentleman would have started with a glove slap.

If you're interested in looking good or feeling like a nice guy, you fight fair. If you're interested in winning the fight, you do what this guy did.

The Cubs pay 12 percent city "amusement" tax on every ticket (about $17 million a year — we're up to $55 million), and yet the city doesn't give them a dime. Very unamusing."

"That doesn't even look white. Is that white? I guess it is. Is that their version of white smoke? I guess it is. It looks kinda dark t me, but I guess that's their version of white smoke."

What I love about JaVale is that he didn't pretend to sign the ball because he blocked the shot. He blocked the shot because he needed an excuse to do the celebration he thought of last night. Never change, JaVale.

It was kind of funny when I thought you were making fun of his appearance. It was really funny when I got the joke.
