It doesn’t have to be “the usuals”... it just has to be young teams that (largely) missed the playoffs or CDN teams.

I love baseball but don’t actively follow it any more, so my star is for execution while I go do a bad sports fan Google search for content.

Yo- I’m a huge proponent of helping people in a rehabilitative rather than punitive way and mental illness can be a bitch, but incarcerating someone who assaulted another human being and caused “serious bodily harm” isn’t necessarily blindly locking up a young black guy and throwing away the key.

Good point and (especially given that I live in Oakland) no argument here.

“If the Ainge gets his shit together...”

It’s not often one can say that an 8 year old deserves to be punched. In the face.

Yup- just because we root for trams doesn’t mean we can’t think a dude sucks.

I don’t know what happened in the moment as I wasn’t there. I can say this, empirically, even being a Red Sox fan: Adam Jones has more class and dignity in his right pinky finger than Curt Fucking Schilling has in his whole body. I know who I believe in this little saga.

Yes- this confused me.

New Mexico State must be pooping in its pants that it’s getting to play one of the only 5-10 D1 teams in the country they’re guaranteed to beat TWICE.

I know it’s really fucking cute putting up every highlight in Spanish, but on plays like this, it would be nice to have more than a cursory idea of WTF the announcer is saying.

This is America and all but that deserves more love.

You’re not entirely wrong, but Boston a 2nd rate city? The fuck does that make Balty?

More like four kernels of popcorn and an empty, rusted can of Campbell’s Soup AMIRITE?

I was born in ‘79 and like you, appreciate archaic, weird old people references.

I realized right after I posted that it’s probably some thematic outro tune, but since I don’t regularly watch any particular ESPN show, (to me) it was just shitty music over a nice sentiment.

Nicely said, SVP.

Too bad about the stupid musical overlay.

1) John Koncak, lol

How is a dude named “Caleb Brantley” not a white guy?
