Draymond Green : NBA :: Ted Cruz : Senate

This will be sadly overlooked.  Well done.  

I saw this joke coming and yet I still just froze . . .

Start calling them the Dallas Vaqueros and Fox News will take it from there. 

I went into this season thinking, meh, the Giants should be ok: Eli is still good and the team finally fixed the gaping deficiencies around him. I was wrong, wrong, and wrong. The Giants are not good. Eli is not good. And the revamped offensive line is not good.

I agree that a lot of the “conflict of interest” talk was likely overblown, but it does put him in something of an awkward position vis-a-vis DeGrom, no?

Remind me how old this guy is again? I’m mindful of sounding a #getoffmylawn note here, but can we all just agree to cut it out with Halloween after - say, oh, I don’t know - the seventh grade?

“Are you surprised at my tears, sir? Strong men also cry.”

A wrinkle, one time, prevented Smoltz from saving nine.

Meh. You call it “mumbling incoherently.” I call it trying to curry favor with his boss.

This cannot be said often or loudly enough. I am not on Twitter*, Instagram, or Facebook, and based on the experiences of the majority of you who are, my life is infinitely better as a result.  

Great Yanks Mate Again

Wait . . . . is this a deep troll job? Did I get sucked in? Because you are standing by this take with a ferocity that would be justified only if any of this mattered at all. Don’t die on this hill, friend. The Hawks suck. The Knicks suck. The asymmetrical distribution of words between them in a humorous blog…

I’m a big Knicks fan too but dude come on: the toilet fire gif was arguably more attention than the Knicks deserve in an NBA preview.  

Room-temperature take: Oladipo is runner-up for MVP and the Pacers come out of the East.

Brett Favre was this close to being vindicated by this story.

Hot take, Brett.  

Why are you getting all fired up? I agree with you: Boston fans have a disgusting history of hostility to players of color. And I don’t think I said or implied that it isn’t still a problem - your point is strong evidence that it is.

This is the oldest trope on Kinja. And I realize I am just getting Mad On The Internet, but people who attend professional sporting events that are young, male, and drunk act this way in every city. Some Dodgers fans almost killed a guy a couple of years ago. Milwaukee fans gave a standing ovation to a guy because…

“This fucking guy.”
