Am I the only one who thinks that Doughty hit looks pretty clean? It’s not from behind, not late, elbow’s down, doesn’t hit his head... what’s the problem?

I still don’t get what the joke is though...

I like how the NBA has sort of organically embodied the ethos of “There’s no use in trying if you’re not the best.” It speaks to me.

Every time I see a picture of Adam Silver, it looks like he’s in the middle of a “We’re not so different, you and I, Mr. Bond” monologue.

Rapaport is pushing back on it:

Between this and the dude playing goalie for the Blackhawks, this has been a great couple weeks for dudes who aren’t supposed to be there.

Holy shit, this was special. I was a ball boy back when Andre was at American University. I remember him so fondly. I spent half the game on the phone with my father - an alum and season ticket holder for almost 40 years - both of geeking us, so proud.

This is now 101 years without a White Sox World Series. Sad!

Seriously. I’m with you on this

Damn.

This is a really relevant story.

“That’s a team that could win 7 games, easy.”

He pitched between 140 and 160 innings each year from 2014-2016, so his arm is used to a much larger workload than that. A six-man rotation should put him around that number again.

Don’t worry, ESPN had this as the #2 play of the night behind a goal scored by a washed up English Premier player in his first game in a 3rd rate sports league (not that I’m bitter) (Fuck you, ESPN).

Clinched them the division title and gave them 50 wins in their first season. Eh, it’s OK, I guess.

You win the internet for 3/30/2018. Your plaque will be delivered next week.

All NHL teams keep a list of local goalies to call on in case of an emergency. They’re usually old college guys playing beer league. The dream is to get called up to sit on the bench as the emergency backup. This is just unreal. What a night for that guy.

Poor Barcelona, they’d have to do with Messi, Suarez, Busquets, Pique and Iniesta. Unlike Liverpool, their chances are intact without Coutinho.

Ah, the classic “5 year old at the urinal” technique.
