I would be a lot more convinced that LeBron is still top flight if Cleveland wasn’t doing so damn well in his absence. 

The irony here is that in the supposedly anti-parity MLB, nearly half (14) the teams in the sport have made it to the World Series just in the past decade (including low-payroll teams from Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Kansas City, and elsewhere) and 23 of 30 teams have made the playoffs in the past 5 years, despite there…

The salary cap does not, and was never designed to promote parity. It was designed to keep labor costs down, full stop. The draft is what keeps any semblance of parity going.

I was confused by that too. I guess the argument is that a team should be able to spend whatever it wants, without cap or max handcuffs, and create a natural market where player talent is compensated to its own rate — this rather than a prescribed formula that takes the onus off of the owners and puts it on the player…

I don’t see how the salary cap is the problem here. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do - keep some semblance of equity of talent between teams. This is, admittedly, coming from a slightly salty Cavs fan, but still. I don’t like the idea of an NBA version of the Yankees.

More hyperbolic liberal reporting desperately wanting human-caused global warming to be real, when actually the fossil record shows that Arco Arena regularly filled with smoke during the Paleozoic Era.

You guys gotta start using the correct picture for all your Papa John ledes. Just ask the Deadspin kiddos.

I mean, he’s not wrong. This article, particularly the headline, makes it seem at first like Carell is making a “audiences these days are just too darned sensitive” statement like Jerry Seinfeld or Chris Rock.

And yet here we are. I would propose a spectrum of non-precise temperature descriptions as follows:

When the fuck did the “apology commercial” become a thing? Facebook, Uber, Wells Fargo and now Papa Johns? I mean, it’s not even that I hate that they’re all insincere pandering (which they are) but you’re a fucking brand doing what it’s function. Facebook made it’s billions collecting your fucking data and target…

You’re telling me I’m gonna have SCROLL to find my home state? It’s all the way down in the Ms! That could take FOREVER.

Never go on a game show! Never do it!

He is barely functional as a human being. I’d be remiss to even call him the smartest dolphin.

1. Space is scarier than the ocean.
2. Things in the Ocean are scarier than things in space.

So it’ll take Melo three moves to get where he wants to go. That’s a surprising level of efficiency from him.

I love the comment about how thru-hikers “overwhelmingly” use the z-pack. False. It is a great tent but at $600 it is far from the most popular option.

I have the 1 and the 2 — The latter is more of a spacious one-person, as most 2's are, but two works okay and the vestibules are giant. I’d prefer the Copper Spur but I got each for “can’t refuse” prices at REI garage sales ($110 and 190). Unfortunately neither are ultralight but they’ve taken a serious wind & storm…

Almost 5 pounds when there’s great similar options for half the weight? It’s a good tent, but I’d rather use it for camping, not hiking.
