I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

He thinks he’s Marcus Aurelius, but he’s really just Joffrey  

This post has been starred for its simple yet thorough summation of the event.  Bravo!

“Are they booing me?!”

Y’know, I was having a very good day, until I read this.

Yes, but it also plays into his “most attacked president in history” narrative and by Wednesday, he’ll be saying it was just a small group Democratic representatives and he heard they had paid some people off to boo him. Probably illegal immigrants taking those booing jobs away from real Americans who love him, but…

The best thing about this is that it will eat away at him way, way, way more than things like “credibly accused of being a Russian asset” or “revealed almost daily, often by his own idiotic admission, to have participated in criminal activity.”

Unfortunately, he’s gonna get traded to another marriage next season for a late-round draft pick.

I would say the reason, or a big part of the reason, players bear the brunt of the bust label is because the NBA, like the other leagues, has a ludicrous system where it gives the worst run franchises exclusive access to the assets with the most potential, and to justify that facially absurd system, they need for it…

The thing about 70s disaster movies was that they came along before everyone had the budget to make movies with a dozen different tentpole setpieces, so you had the Airport films, The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, etc. basically predicated on one or two REALLY BIG effects scenes, and then a whole mess of…
