counterpoint: the Rams and the Jags were two of the most surprising teams in the league last year, and they both leaned heavily on RBs they drafted in the top five. And let’s not forget about the Cowboys. Their RB, drafted in the top-five, is the difference between championship contention (when he plays) and…

Rest assured, they’ll still make the wrong choice.

You know that feeling of existential dread that, having subsided briefly from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, begins to build as the work-week progresses until you’re sitting in your office doing nothing but refreshing the same 5 websites over and over again secretly hoping for either-

Ebert was such a good writer. When he literally lost his voice due to his jaw cancer surgeries, he took to blogging and wrote some amazing things. His website is still a trove of great reviews covering about 40 years of his work.

No matter what, this kids will learn to respect the National Anthem and the National Invitation Tournament!

It’s too bad the only two dudes with thumbs had to die. They made movie reviews easy to understand.

Don Jr ponders the meaning of the song, staring into the distance and wearing his new big-boy boots

Look, I would have died from second-hand embarrassment over that song WITHOUT knowing who it was about.

I literally cannot fathom a world in which anyone, anywhere, feels that way about Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump or Ivanka Trump. Having seen these people operate and reluctantly heard them talk over the past few years, they seem like literally the most valid, shallow, unintellectual, just BORING people…

The Knicks can’t even tank. They lose at losing.

I am baffled why the people of West Virginia Coal Country feel such loyalty to the coal companies. In the past century the coal companies have poisoned their landscape, destroyed their natural beauty, set fire to the earth itself, terminally affected the health of both their adults and children. They condemned their…

I’m a Raptors fan and I’m hoping Boston can knock out Cleveland in the 2/3 matchup. I think they can make the finals if they don’t have to go through LeBron, but I’m terrified if they have to play the Cavs. Demarre Carroll was signed as practically a designated LeBron-stopper and he got pulped last year.

The ECF game where LeBron scored 29 of the Cavaliers’ last 30 points (with the other one coming on a Drew Gooden free throw) was nuts and something I’ll never forget.

If you look around one day and find that all your “friends” are irredeemable assholes, and these seem to be the only people willing to hang out with you, it is worth reflecting on what exactly it might be about YOUR personality that is attracting those people to you. (This also goes out to the Ava Navarro’s and…

...... The Aristocrats!

Agreed. I think Toronto is the best team in the east (I don’t see Boston recovering from all of their injuries in time to regain their early-season form). I believe academically that they can beat the Cavs, quite possibly pretty easily.

I still think back to him single handedly ending the Pistons run, with Drew Gooden or Anderson Verajao as the second best guy in his team.

Been saying this all year, but ... I will stop being afraid of the Cavs only when they are eliminated from the playoffs. I don’t care where they’re seeded. They have the best player on Earth, and he knows how to ramp it up for the post-season.

There seemed to be a lot of “serious basketball people” on Twitter really pleased to see UMBC get “exposed.” It must be strange to hate fun.
