Spot on, internet stranger. I knew something was different but mangled the thought process. Thank you.

I miss “Injured Reserve” and “the IR.” “Injured List” and “the IL” just isn’t doing it for me.

This comment deserves more love. 

Good communication isn’t just about spewing out whatever thoughts cross your mind using whatever words you want. What you call ‘placating’ is just what normal adults call ‘reading the room’ and ‘understanding context’ and ‘choosing their words accordingly.’

You’re not taking what I said in good faith at all.

Ok, let me try...?

You have to put the hashtag in the tweet, Gabe, or at least @ him.

Oh god, look at that. 

Yes, second year bench rider Zach Collins, who averages a personal foul call every five and a half minutes of playing, is remarkably adept at manipulating NBA refs, even on replay review, especially when playing against veteran All-NBA players.

You have to consider the context. Draymond was getting super chippy in the minutes leading up to that call and the game was close to getting away from the refs as multiple shoving matches were breaking out in the 4th.

Hey, it’s also an SNL sketch!

Lost in all of this hagiography is the simple question of, WTF *is* Kevin Durant’s brand?

You’re getting ratioed big time for this comment but please know that your inclination to reach out and connect with other humans is fundamentally the correct (and, at the end of the day, only) option we have. 

I worked in ticketing for an NFL team for a while. We had a players’ wives section and a players’ mistresses section. Not even joking. 

You had me til this.

If you have dogs and you don’t let them lick the plates in the dishwasher then you are truly history’s greatest monster.

Thanks Salty. This column expresses the essence of the “Political Correctness” scourge that the right wing promises to save us from:

I’m so pleased to have had the experience of ordering a salad in Pittsburgh without knowing anything about what that entails. I’m a guy that orders salad only out of obligation to try to be kind of healthy, so when it came out, I could barely process what I was seeing. So awesome.

This is the right take. 

In defense of it going to review, if it turned out that the WRs knee was down before the ball came out, then you CAN overturn it and give it to the Bears. So the rule reads weird but it actually makes total sense in that context.
