“that guy has no business trying to pretend that A&M is in a class above them. It’s A&M, for crying out loud. They haven’t won dick.”

By this logic (which seems to be all free agent signings are the owners fault and the GM gets credit for everything else), it’s pretty hard to find a GM who isn’t worth hundreds of millions, while the owners (who are all literally worth hundreds of millions) should just fire themselves.

Spotify: Wildly, hilariously unprofitable

Anyone who likes Galveston has shitty taste in cities.

> Austin has no culture. Austin is just a bunch of white people that went to school on mommy and daddy’s dime and decided to stay and open up a couple BBQ joints. It’s like a broke ass Portland.

> Hell, I’m taking a cruise out of Galveston in July.

> Austin is full of uppity white people.

It actually does have really good food. And I am a card-carrying Houston hater.

Yea, not even people from Houston like Houston. The only reason to live there is if you like oil, and even then, they spend their whole work week trying to get to Austin more often.

The Process got one thing right - the best way to win a title is to get stars, the best way to get stars is through the draft, and the best way to draft a star is to have high picks. The thing it got wildly wrong is that tanking is the only (or even best) avenue towards any of those goals. For one, tanking sabotages…

The thing is, he’s not one dimensional. That’s what makes him so frustrating. He could be a huge asset to the Knicks, but instead, he iso’s all the time and doesn’t play defense. He needs another team, whether that involves a new roster in New York or a new uniform. Carmelo shouldn’t be the primary ball-handler or…

Yea, that famously moral Dream Team that froze out Isaiah Thomas

Making the 3 point line shorter won’t materially impact Steph. He doesn’t shoot any better on long 2's than he does on 3's. It’s guys like Melo, LMA, Dirk, and Pau who get the benefit, because the shots they already take are just worth an extra point

Almost certainly. Particularly given how insanely effective Olympic Melo has been. It’s the biggest case for why he needs to be the second option on a team with a ball-dominant player, the dude can flat out shoot when he bothers to spot up

Not news. This was true from the moment LHN was announced. The only reason this deal exists is that UT would be in the Pac-12 (where they belong, at least in terms of schools with similar revenue profiles that aren’t in the SEC). It was the best bad option for the Big 12

Isn’t the only team that really could even potentially exploit a smaller Team USA Spain? If France qualifies, which they likely will, they could be a challenge as well, but again, there aren’t teams out there that can deal with a roster that will regularly play a combination of LeBron, Durant, Kawhi, and Carmelo…

Even more important than that is the fact that the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area is steadily creeping north towards San Marcos while the Austin-Round Rock metro area is steadily creeping south towards San Antonio, and most realize that within 10 years, Austin-San Antonio will be the Central Texas equivalent of…

The point is that for all the problems Presidents can have, the Constitutional system of checks and balances actually does work in terms of limiting a single President from actually destroying the country. Doesn’t mean a bad one can’t damage it, it’s just a good reminder that the US is still the most resilient attempt…

Not really the case with drug legalization. This has been empirically demonstrated (and the US actually saw it first hand! Ending Prohibition didn’t increase alcoholism at all!)

To Green’s credit, 80% of NBA players don’t recover from CP3 shaking them so violently fast enough to get posterized, and of the ones that do, only about 5% wouldn’t just bail out.
