The look my wife gave me says that this is untrue.

That’s not a better question at all.

Exactly. I really like Butler and he is one of the toughest players this franchise has ever had, but he’s a star you add, not one you build around. GarPax are not good GMs, but there is a reason why more teams weren’t beating down the door when the Bulls made it clear he was available.

I can’t believe what a minority view this is. Where do people think the Bulls would have gone by keeping Butler, and eventually paying him a quarter of a billion dollars? Why does everyone assume that if they were the GM, Boston would have coughed up the draft pick, or someone else would have paid a “fair price”?

Jimmy isn’t young (28 next opening day) and the Bulls have rode him hard. He’ll never be the best player on a championship team, and he’s good enough as an alpha to keep you in 1st round road series purgatory.

I guess the question is: Did anyone else in the East think they could compete with LeBron and his cast of supporting actors? If you want to make a run at his dominance of the East then you go after Butler and try to build something up. Otherwise these teams are looking at the Sixers and thinking maybe they should just…

So Kaep should go play mediocre low-level minor league baseball, is what you’re saying.

Yes, it’s very, very tough for white, conservative Christians to get an NFL contract.

tebow’s political beliefs kept him in the league despite his ability.

“Preeminent white man just asking questions” is a great line, especially because it really does happen all the time. People are so unwilling to even attribute their own opinions to themselves because they know how bad they are, so they pose it as a question that even they in particular are not asking.

Full disclosure: I don’t watch this show, but I do have a concern about your point. Did the show endorse the concept of men using violence as a means of dealing with sexual frustration, or was it just using the concept? This is one gripe I have with certain criticisms, this idea that media can’t comment on certain…

yeah, she’s stick thin

There’s probably a pretty good reason why films often have these cryptic code names. But what is it?

My one major bugbear with the casting of the film was that they, for some reason, felt the need to keep the ‘race balance’ the same as the original. Three white, one non-white. And having the non-white be the only one who wasn’t a scientist (even though smart in her own way) irked me, especially considering all the…

Ya know, if a backup catcher from Chicago was going to get unreasonably famous, it should have been Ron Karkovice.

You’re going against the chosen narrative, prepare to be belittled!

It’s a fair point. Bennett was publicly shitty and privately contrite. If Bennett doesn’t like being called out, he should have been as free with his contrition as he was with his shittiness.

That’s a solid “Daniel Kicks Johnny in the Face” on Simmons’ list of 14 80s Movies that Explain Celtics Playoff Losses (and Why Magic Actually Committed an Offensive Foul on the Baby Sky Hook).

Let me know how that works out for you, hoss.
