Sure, he may have 9000 balls but it seems may be missing one or two where it counts....

Hi Fredi!

Fuck the Braves. Fuck Cobb County. Fuck Atlanta.

Big deal. Toronto spends millions and doesn't have an NHL team either.

Counterpoint

Oladipo is basically a consistent version of what Dion Waiters offered glimpses of in these playoffs. And with Westbrook and Durant he wont be pressured to handle as much of the ball. With Duncan looking done, it could be a two team race out West next year. Of course I’ve thought that about Duncan the last couple…

I resemble that comment!

What about being hit by a car? If anyone could excel at that, it’d be Lebron.

Notable predictions from Stephen A. Smith’s ancestors:

It’s amazing that baseballs have so many human qualities within them- shit, piss, devils, even life. But do they dream?

Joe would have gotten him if it didn't take so long, but the guy in the bathroom was a long reliever.

Are you suggesting Zardes is going to end up at one of the non-Galatasaray clubs in Istanbul? Because that’s where I see Klinsi ending up in the near-mid-future.

Runs like a gazelle. Traps like a gazelle too.

He’s doing a guest spot on Gawker next week subbing for Jordan,

A good football player, unless he’s a quarterback, will only ever see one large contract in his career. They can’t be taking hometown discounts, they need to maximize their earnings because once they get cut for being hurt and or old they will never see a paycheck from the league again.

It’s not explicitly clear, but if that $40m guaranteed in the first two years is the total for all 6, he should be batting that shit away. NFL players’ contracts are bullshit, I am pro-any player using his leverage to make sure he gets paid no matter what.

Some potential awards:

They are feud propellant. Ego lubricant. Complete and utter bullshit. And they've been around for so long now that no one even knows why they're kept in service beyond the immature fear that the world would screech to halt without them.
