I would love for him to come back for no other reason than to have my son see him play. He has never watched him but somehow believes he is the best player ever. I’m not saying I want my kids dreams crushed but I’m not saying I don't either. 

It’s not blind hate. Per basketball-reference, Kobe is 17th in career VORP, 24th in career PER, 18th in career Win Shares, etc. All of those rankings are pretty well in line with Kobe’s actual status imo. The guy had one regular season MVP (that Chris Paul deserved, though to be fair Kobe deserved the one two years…

Wouldn’t be the first time he told Vanessa one thing while doing another

2/3 of that list is fucking awesome. 

Tom Savage was tremendous because he, more than anyone, represented the divide between NFL draft people and people who actually watched college football games

In all seriousness, thank fucking god someone can finally just enjoy a fun MLS game around here. 

Why did you stop the gif in that moment? You are evil.

That is one of the most frustrating GIFs ever.  It plays forever and never gets to the fireworks factory.

I was looking a few weeks ago, and holy crap, Capella is legitimately one of the elite players according to his stats. (I fully realize that some of this is a product of D’Antoni’s system, but still): PER- 12th, TS%- 6th, eFG%- 1st, Offensive Rating- 3rd, Defensive Rating- 4th, Offensive WS- 18th, Defensive WS- 6th,…

I mean, it is easy to forget how he used to move, and the power he got with a little flick of the wrist.  Anyone who feels the need to constantly scream about how he is “better than ever!!!” (Johnny Mac) should watch this.

This is a really excellent article.  I thought it was the finest tennis match I’d seen in a long, long time, and this writing makes me appreciate it even more.

I have a ton of respect to the way Croatia lost. Even when time was dwindling away and they were two goals behind, they never really started to play dirty or let that frustation get over. And after the game was over, despite the disappointment being evident, they were still utterly respectful to the French team. Even…

It felt kind of weird, in a good way, to have such a straight-forward domination after the wars of the men’s semis. It’s also an impressive sign that Kerber might be returning to form after that bizarre 2017 season.

You really don’t know what you’re talking about, but rather than start some sort of internet battle, let me try to help educate you on this particular topic:

I would totally eat a bowl of Cookie Crisp out of that trophy.

This was Serena’s only opponent that really made her move. Really made her work. This is  much the story of Serena’s career, she had been stationary sniping her opponent is other matches. Her superior racket skills allow her to do that against lesser opponents. She finally ran into so one that was strong also. 

Bahrami is joyfyul, man we need that now.

With apologies to the original.

JOE BUCK: Well we’re at 93-93 here in the 5th set of Anderson/Isner
[Sun rises]
[Sun keeps getting bigger]
BUCK: yes
[World engulfed by flames]
BUCK: oh god yes

The style of play for both these men is the definition of “galoot.”

I feel like no one has addressed the obvious: Anderson’s hat looks ridiculous.
