It wasn’t that long ago that Saudi Arabia took a couple of 7-0 beatings in the Men’s World Cups.

I doubt it. Most of the best players in the world already play in the NBA and the league never had the resentment of foreign talent that the NHL had, so your two best angles aren’t there. Considering that neither the NHL's own events nor the Olympics have much of a boost to ratings, I can't imagine that gumming up the…

She would go Mjolnir on his ass. Mjolnir!

But, while you can give Presti credit for what he essentially has turned Ibaka into. You have to also keep in mind that he at different times had KD, PG, Harden and Russ and kept the worst of the four.

But their token tacky and fetish designers were pretty decent unlike recent Lifetime seasons. And they didn't have the twins.

Hester and the dull minimalist one were throwbacks to some of the more contrived personalities and drama-driven designers. But unlike previous seasons, the group of designers seemed more diverse. Like previous seasons, Nina and the other judges really didn’t seem to have any idea what to make of that diversity.

I know they were from Ottawa, but could we really say that Organized Rhyme was the peak of Toronto rap?

And it all fell apart because the Lakers wouldn’t do the deal without getting Luol Deng back and Kobe wouldn’t go to the Bulls without Luol Deng being there. (You mean they couldn’t work out a reasonable package? Sounds kinf of familiar.) Or so the story went. Although I think I recall the Lakers also eventually…

It could be argued that the Marlins have already gone to AA to replace their talent.

I usually pick the team I root for in the Cup by the one I think will most anger Cherry (and Leafs’ fans) if they win.

Exactly, especially when you consider that the extra money coming from this tournament appearance quickly evaporates when you have to split it with other conference members and pay for travel expenses.

The odd thing is that I saw an article somewhere that said something along those lines a couple of days ago. I didn’t read it and I don’t feel like searching for it.

Maybe the scouting said go with a pounder rather than more of a speed back, but I thought Gurley was a bit physical in his own right.

I want to remember Sam Perkins, and even though he didn’t make it in the NBA, White Trash Sam Perkins Kevin Pittsnogle!

It’s strange that amongst the obscure white guys who might run you overlooked South Bend mayor Pete Buttegeig. He’s openly gay (and married), Harvard educated, a quick study on most topics, left-leaning, a Navy reservist and young. He will be able to point to South Bend being one of the smarter and more advanced cities…

I want him dragged for not being funny after they’re done dragging him for trying to Louis CK away his homophobic statements.

In fairness to Case, he actually is a starting-caliber quarterback. Those other four guys got a lot more run than their talents merited.

What’s really strange though is that Pitt, a middling college football program, has become this pipeline for quarterbacks that become guys with rising draft stock after the…

Like Tyler Palko and Tom Savage, they just look the role and really aren’t much more than a makeweight-level talent.

Next year, Jeff George Jr. will be flying up the draft board.

There’s plenty of space in Gary.

Didn’t Felipe Lopez get this same treatment back in the early 90s?

It really shouldn’t be because the system’s broken. Dwight was pretty underrated in his day. Kind of reflects the silliness of the system. If Dwight had won an MVP award and/or a World Series, he probably is in the Hall years ago.

And looking at his peak, it’s kind of mind-boggling he didn’t manage to win an MVP award.…
