Jesus Barry, you buried the lede, but man, congrats on having the worst opinion in Funbag history. Its a long list of bad opinions, you shot right to the top.

It’s not even that serious. I’m fine with ugly basketball. Hell, I’m a huge fan of the 90s Knicks teams! The problem is the same problem that has seeped into all other areas of society: shame is no longer a mitigating factor.

“This presumes of course, that there is a right way to play...”

Counterpoint: fuck James Harden, he is a cowardly shitbird who plays an incredibly aesthetically disgusting brand of basketball, and a choke artist who has always disappeared in Elimination Games and will forever be known for 0-for-27 and I hope he retires soon.

Warriors Revolution: What if we play basketball based on absurd 3-point shooting and spacing, creating openings with swift ball movement and requiring defenses to guard shots previously thought impossible? We’ll play with a small, quick lineup, that will outpace slower, larger players, making them either lose on

Alternatively, he gets fouled on purpose, whines endlessly when not fouled, and loses in the playoffs.

If that first fact is relevant, let it be known that the Buffalo Bills finished Top 2 in football playing in 1991-1994 and deserved the Lombardi trophy.

I’m paying attention to him because The Ringer is treating him as a reasonable person and saying his book is worth reading, and I made sure to transcribe the conversation because I know one of the reactions to this blog would have been, “Oh, you’re taking this out of context.” So, there’s the context.

Texans fans are insufferable - FIFY

Bike riders are easily the worst. Fuck those clowns n their Lance Armstrong cosplay outfits all bombing down the rail trail at a whopping 15 mph like they’re training for the Tour so they can go to the craft brewery later and sit around in their too-tight shorts trading Strava readings while complaining that the IPA

Congrats to Mexican-American King Hippo on his defeat of Mr. Sandman..

So we have a young, non-Canadian player who just beat Canada’s national team for a championship, and is now blowing off the NHL scouting combine to party his way around his home country for a week.

Tampa?

I live in a place full of (white) manbabies who demand respect without being willing to give it to others. Giant lifted trucks, barbed wire tattoos on steroid-pumped upper arms, Punisher skulls, “black rifles” and “tactical” clothing: all of this is about signaling the world, “I DEMAND YOUR DEFERENCE.”

It is still weird to me to hear Gary Thorne doing play-by-play for anything other than hockey

It’s nice to know that while Bungie has showed the gaming companies out there plenty of examples of how and how not to do things they still willingly scatter land mines in front of themselves while they trudge through their own development.

This was all a puppet-show, anyway— the only reason they had ANY kind of an “immigration plan presentation session” at all was to put on a show of, “See? See? We ARE trying to work with the Democrats! Look how much effort we’re putting into it!” Meanwhile, behind closed doors, everybody knew that the plan would be
