Book author here. Great point, and as you anticipate, information sharing unwillingness is definitely not my argument. Perhaps, to put it in a nutshell, we might see the history of computer networks as not about information sharing cultures (indeed the major figures here are committed to sharing information in near…

“My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?”

Another bonus we didn’t consider: Coach development. NFL still getting heat for its lack of development of black/minority coaches and executives. NBA swears the D-League/Summer league is a pipeline that sort of thing, NFL Spring League could help put a small dent in that convo, too. Also Becky Hammon coached Summer…

Yeah, this is how I feel. You’re telling me the NFL couldn’t sell tickets and get a TV deal for an eight-game spring league, even if it was functionally a minor league in terms of the players that took part?

Leading Red Gives Message to America’s Children: “Get Cancer”

Real mature man... Make jokes about a serious situation when Carmelo can't even defend himself...

First off let me start off by saying “ All Praise Due To The Most High.”

“ Take Charge. Take Action.”

If I could hop into a time machine and get just one do over pick then I would go back in time and kick my dad in the nuts for convincing me to pick the Knicks. Then I would hunt my younger self down like a deranged T-1000 and give my tiny self a gigantic bag full of candy on the condition that I never ever root for…

So whose career would you prefer to ruin? Jordan’s or Durant’s?

Fuck you. Fuck this stupid debate. And fuck all of you who think you have a right to comment here. Fuck. Everything.

As a Pistons fan I reason that Joe D knew the kind of player he had with Prince and didn’t want him to get buried on the bench with Carmelo or D-Wade taking his minutes. So he purposely took Darko to let Tayshaun flourish and block Reggie Miller in the conference finals. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

JOHNNY FUCKING FLYNN.

In 1998 the Sixers took Larry Hughes one pick before Dirk. Reversing that would have prevented Sam Hinkie from ever being born.

Tom Brady is a fancy dog!

You know his lips move when he reads. His children’s baby books. That Giselle gives him to keep him quiet.
