Here is an eminently helpful recapping of the absolutely insane indictment:

I think the thing that can make him fun—super fun, in fact!—to watch is to view the stuff he does in those interminable seconds after he catches the ball but before he either shoots it or passes not as (or not always as) aimless noodling: Oftentimes, he’s using all those dribbles and jab steps and head fakes to…

Yeah, I remember it being messy on both sides (starting with the contract dispute that held him out of training camp and preseason). I recall something to do with Royce refusing to see the doctors that the team wanted him to. I don’t think they were barring him from seeing his existing doctor, they just wanted him to…

This is one side of the story. My recollection is that every time the Rockets tried to accommodate White’s condition, it wasn’t enough for White.

Take: Royce White has serious problems, but is also an annoying, attention seeking diva.

We’re getting ready to watch the craziest constitutional shit storm in history. Firing the special prosecutor is what got Nixon impeached. However Republicans today are huge ass traitors and pussies and will just stand aside and let Russia continue to fuck our democracy.

This is a fantastic read. Thanks, Nick.

Let he who doesn’t chop his parmesan cheese with a credit card cast the first stone.

When a company uses the United States’ legal amd financial power to facilitate their business, that company has to follow United States law.

Did Otani ask Kershaw and Turner to interrupt their wedding and anniversary planning meetings? Or did the Dodgers ask them to do that?

Has Kershaw considered that maybe Ohtani was bored because Kershaw is one of the most boring professional athletes out there? Dude has never given an interesting interview in his life; I can’t imagine he’d be able to give a good sales pitch.

I just don’t see the logic here. How does an absurd (and illegal, if you’re talking about the context of a job interview, which the combine effectively is) question in a room with a few assholes in it correspond to having your performance on the field scrutinized by the media or a fanbase?

I think he’s going to have to prove it. You know, he’s coming back saying he loves football—I talked to some people here, and he might like humanitarian work more than football. I don’t know. Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t know where his values really lie.

My favorite theory is that it involves a kind of memory short circuit - somehow what you’re experiencing makes its way into your long-term memory storage before you’ve even consciously perceived it as having happened. And so when you do become aware of it, the instant-ago memory comes up but because you can’t really…

Well, people were claiming that Paul and Harden wouldnt be able to share the ball either, and the Rockets are now looking more and more like a serious threat to GS than they ever have in this era.

You are salty as fuck and you have no idea what a crossover is if you think that is a “push”

I’ve watched that highlight 10 times now. No it isn’t. He barely touches him and gets him to hop in the air. And Wesley doesn’t fall backward on the impact. He hops backward awkwardly and then just keeps on falling. The contact is incidental. Harden is making a move, Wesley awkwardly moves in toward his shoulder, gets…

I’m sure Bostonians will receive this news with calm and understanding.

The article you linked has to do with victims, not the offenders. But yes, a person who is currently in an NBA system (or at the time was) and was a major name in college basketball player certainly is a public figure. Was Jameis Winston not a public figure when he was accused because he was only in college?

Tough decision. His heart is between a rock and a hard place.
