plus they make you feel like absolute shit for days afterward. Not worth it at all.

Your premise is not accurate. Not every player is going to be an All-Star in his first few years. Most of Cal’s freshman that have been drafted are having successful careers on par or in excess of their expectations. Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, MKG, Nerlens Noel, Julius Randle, Devin Booker, and Trey Lyles are all…

And if he had gotten injured he would have won a lifelong career working in a car wash. It’s a huge gamble for these kids where even a short, modest career in the NBA can reward millions but the slightest bad break and their coaches, schools, alumni, and student body will forget their names and kick them to the curb…

Scratchy: Ooh, [Drew Magary] is one outrageous dude.

On the topic of solving problems, I have one for the Deadspin commentariat.

Depends. Are we counting all the tuition he’s paid Trump University?

I for one encourage him to vote tomorrow and not in November.

Makes sense, because tennis scoring is already in dog points.

Using ball dogs at a tennis match is a bad idea. It’s just a slippery slope toward asshole cats acting as chair umpires.

Can we retire the term “hipster”? It doesn’t mean anything anymore - some somewhat younger than me (or older) who likes things that are new (or old) that I don’t like (except I sometimes do).

As a Mormon wearing that underwear right now, I can’t say you’re wrong.

That uniform up top looks like Mormon underwear. That’s all I needed to say.

Is no one going to point out that he has a tattoo of Big Boy holding a football instead of a burger with the saying, “Doing Big Boy Things” above it? I honestly don’t know if that is a great or horrible tattoo.

I want to believe these were all from the same scout. And I just imagine Jim Tomsula in a pair of dark brown sunglasses and a long blond wig.

“Yes, Yes, No/Yes, Gun, to gag someone’s mouth with?”

Yet Curt Schilling gets fired for giving a history and math lesson at the same time.

It’s a finger of speech.

Yes, and our old friend/conspiracy theorist Kyle Wagner thinks that might’ve just happened here!

I like the part of that story where Chandler recounts that the doctor wouldn’t clear him because, although his toe is fine, it might not be if he lands on someone’s foot or hyperextends it. That’s like saying your knee may be fine, but if you make a sudden cut and tear your acl, then you’ll have a torn acl.

Me! I root for Everton.
