Look, just be thankful that this is as bad as it gets. The NBA is literally broken because a) teams realized that 3 pointers and layups are the only efficient ways to score, and b) teams are exploiting the team-building efficiency of the draft lottery, making a huge number of NBA games completely uninteresting to…

Greater London accounts for 21% of the UK’s population. Greater NYC is 7% of the US. So there’s your answer.

even if he theoretically could play, this is the right move. the odds of one team beating the dubs twice on their move floor in the same series is...low, to say the least. better to give him a couple days to rest and then put him on the floor for game 7 if need be.

Look, I know Northwestern media members are annoying. And I’m almost entirely on board with the slant of this op-ed. But calling Northwestern an “uninteresting team” just shows that you have not watched much Northwestern football over the past decade.

to say that shit at a fucking church is disgusting. as if jesus would have been down with tasing unarmed black men

I’m not sure what you mean by “the Astros can pitch now.” They’ve had great pitching all year long. It’s their hitting that has failed them from time to time. Their main guys have been hitting well, but it’s looking like Marwin Gonzalez’s great 2017 might have been a fluke, Gattis has been terrible, and Gurriel is not…

Well I’m generally a big HH fan but I’d say two things:

I don’t understand opinions like this. It seems like people always dub the most powerful deck in the hearthstone meta as OP over poorly balanced or whatever. Just because a deck is strong doesn’t mean it’s poorly balanced.

Oh I totally agree with you that the Jets trading up is probably short-sighted, and I would generally agree that trading up is usually a bad move. But I get why they did it. I don’t know which team you root for, but I’ve been a Jets fan for 20 years, and the nonstop parade of QB mediocrity (at best) and ineptitude (at…

I think throughout this thread you are guilty of availability bias. The QBs drafted in the top ten who end up as busts flame out in spectacular fashion. They get put on “biggest busts” lists for years and fans never stop talking about what a shame it was that they didn’t work out. That doesn’t happen with the bust QBs…

counterpoint: the Rams and the Jags were two of the most surprising teams in the league last year, and they both leaned heavily on RBs they drafted in the top five. And let’s not forget about the Cowboys. Their RB, drafted in the top-five, is the difference between championship contention (when he plays) and…

Marcus Maye had a pretty good rookie year though! Maybe they’re turning it around. Now we’ll never know...

I mean, I get the sentiment, but the team that JUST won the Super Bowl traded up to draft a QB who ended up as their franchise guy and put up MVP-type numbers before getting hurt.

As a long-suffering Jets fan (is there any other kind?) I can’t say I support the trade. They were slated to draft sixth. There are four quarterbacks. Barkley and Chubb are can’t miss prospects, too. You do the math.

I find this video deeply satisfying and probably watch it at least once a year.

The reason the ballot is so backed up right now is because the BBWAA is still making up for its ridiculous decision to vote zero players into the hall in 2013. Had Biggio, Bagwell, and Piazza made the hall that year, and not been held out because of bullshit, made-up concerns over steroid use, then they wouldn’t have…

Another thought: For whatever reason, young players are awesome right now. Judge, Correa, Lindor, Harper, Seager, Bryant, Trout, etc...there seem to be more good players under 27 right now than there have been in a long time. Maybe that’s causing teams to overvalue their own prospects a little bit. As a Yankees fan…

I’m surprised there’s not a single mention of Tim Hardaway Jr. in this article? His absence is clearly the biggest reason why the team (and Porzingis in particular) is struggling. He’s not a great three point shooter but he’s enough of a threat to draw help defenders away from KP. He’s also far and away the team’s…

still the second-youngest player in the league. patience is a virtue.

If we’re bringing back Anthony Randolph can we find space for Nate Robinson too?
