Fatigue is definitely part of it. These guys, on both teams, aren’t usually the sort to miss wide open shots or turn the ball over so carelessly. but defensively both teams have done a good job eliminating what the other does best.

...grandpa? But...you’re dead!

When they went low in 2016, we went high. They went lower, and won.

Yea, hulking out in front of the ump is not a praguematic choice

Ok Sport, it’s bedtime.

jordan almost across the board has better Per game stats. hes better defensively, played against harder defensive rules, probably wouldve won 8 straight had it not been for his compulsive gambling. lebron has never been a good shooter outside of 4 feet from the rim. I think 2014-2015 he was the worst shooter in the…

My two cents, gonna take your points one by one.

#1, ‘Jordan was better in per game stats across the board’ - Incorrect
The only things MJ really ‘did better’ than LeBron were FT% and shots taken/ppg. LeBron has higher FG%, 3pt%, TS%, EFG%, Ast, Reb, and is essentially the same for steals/blocks. Jordan’s primary…

Fuck you

Rhee told me in 2000, at the age of 68, that to stay in top shape he did 1,000 pushups a day and would hold one leg over his head whenever he watched television. His goal, he said then, was to “live to be 136.”

Jeter is attempting to play semantics. In his mind, the Marlins aren’t tanking because the players on the roster are playing to win. In actuality, Jeter and the ownership group he’s part of tanked the season by fielding a non-competitive roster. Same thing the Pirates are doing.

“Let’s climb the west face of Siula Grande. It’ll be fun because nobody’s done it before.”

Thanks for the scheduling info. I’ll fill in my data sheet about you that doesn’t exist.

Welcome to The Takeout, SchenkersAxe. It’s been too long!

Chris Broussard reports that Fox News has acquired Crazy White Lady for their newest hit show, “Road to 2020: The Greatening”.

foiled again by Paul fuckin Ryan... Sharp guy, real policy wonk.

As a Pats fan, I really wanted both of these to look dicey on replay. As a human being with functioning eyes and brain, both of them were unquestionably catches. The broadcasting crew seemed to want to create drama, but (and this is especially true with the Ertz play), those plays resulted in catches by any measure.…

Then the play was reviewed. When slowed down and zoomed in to degrees impossible to see with the human eye in real time, it looked like Clement didn’t quite have the ball completely in his control while he tapped his toes in bounds.

The teddy bears reveal that Jack, the person the trio set out on this dangerous mission to help, is a child.

I didn’t see any indication that the robots had wiped out the entire human race. The story is deliberately small-scale. The setting is a specific, local, area, and we see no indication that the machines have eradicated things worldwide.

I actually thought this was a season highlight, and maybe even a show highlight. The simplicity of the narrative (and lack of heavy-handed moralising) was really refreshing, and the b/w cinematography was stunning. It’s a shame the season didn’t end here.
