Hes not “getting worse every year” he finished second in DPOY voting. His numbers are roughly the same year to year. And again, if it was about professionalism, you don’t hop in front of mics and bad mouth a teammate. The Sixers nerfed Ben’s value and now are mad that no one wants to give an all-star and multiple…

Criticism is in-house in these situations. Maybe something gets leaked later. You had Doc and Embiid slagging Simmons in front of mics. Then Doc did that dumbass backpeddle, like we didn’t have video of him dragging Ben, and it’s all supposed to be fine? It’s supposed to be fine bc management says so? Hell naw. I…

The Sixers bad mouthed this man all summer. Then bc “genius” Daryl Morey decided he wanted the Moon, stars and the Andromeda galaxy in return for Simmons there weren’t any offers. Morey should’ve come down from his insane demands. Instead the Sixers FO thought they could sweep this under the rug. Nah. Were the Sixers…

It is painful seeing what Damon is. As someone who grew up idolizing the Wayans clan bc they showed so much talent to the world, Damon the last few years has just disappointed. He should do like Kenaan and disappear for a while.

This new layout blows. Its impossible to take in the information. The font is too small and everything looks like an ad. This is fucking disgusting. 

Uber and WeWork are not great examples to prove your point. Both we in dire straits BEFORE the pandemic. I’ll be curious to see how they come out the other side. Uber and WeWork have the same model by the way. “Please give us money to prop us up while we burn billions" is a helluva model. That works when money is…

Guaranteeing certain investors a fixed rate of return no matter what is a key element of a Ponzi scheme. SoftBank has come very close to being a Ponzi scheme. The companies that SoftBank backs exist but I seriously wonder if they exist ONLY to secure more money for the fund. Its sounds like none of the companies…

I agree with a lot of what you said. I learned a lot a out politics from Deadspin, Gawker and Splinter. I learned more about my own blackness from The Root. I hope to one day write just one sentence as well as Michael Harriot does. I never got out of the grays but I'm happy to have contributed to the discourse in…

I feel like there's a lesson to be had here. Hmmm, I wonder what it could be? I bet the lame-ass suits destroying the place can't figure it out either.

Jjust read about Barry. I will stop reading any and all G/O sites if the writers keep leaving. Twitter makes it easy to follow the writers. Fuck this brand.

Jack thought he was using his burner account

I’m sorry but I’m not here for VAR bashing. Having the games biggest moments decided by bad officials is not what anybody wants. You can hate the handball rule but it’s hard and fast. It removes any ambiguity from the decision. VAR makes, as sure as we can get, that the right call, the right team, gets rewarded. Not…

Llet's not forget that Callaway may not have had a say in that decision. The GM likes to text instructions on pitching decisions, remember?

Dan Lipinski represents part of the whitest section of the south side. Mt. Greenwood is full of cops and firemen. Those guys aren't exactly known to vote Dem. So he's a "Dem" to win elections. For context his opponent from the GOP was an actual Nazi. So that's IL-3 for you. Choices are GOP or Nazi... 

A diamond is a diamond is a diamond. A crystal of carbon in a 3-D hexagonal configuration is a diamond. Where the diamond came from is what WE care about. When you have to do radioisotopic testing to tell the difference, there really isn’t a difference. When you have to pick out nitrogen impurities at the part per…

Soon as I saw Larry Elder I knew it was time to move on. The Russians are probably funding this in preparation for 2020.

This is a little too perfect. Kaep and Reid have NDAs that prevent them from talking about the details of the settlement. Meanwhile the NFL leaks info designed to make the players look bad. It doesn’t matter what the league paid out if the perception is that Kaep and Reid sold out for relatively cheap. The NFL wins…

Im gonna have to call bullshit on the Kyrie portion of this. He’s shoots 49% from the field, 41% from 3 and is averaging 7asts and 24 ppg. He’s shooting 41% on 6 3s per. Y’all out here trying to make Kyrie out to be a bum on the sly. Kyrie is the best 3pt shooter on the Celtics. Kyrie is flawed as a defender but the…

You bastard. You glorious bastard. You just HAD to make a post to kick me in the nuts. You couldn't let this slide until tomorrow? Next time maybe wear steel toes when you kick Sox fans in the nuts! Even though I knew this piece was coming it sucks so hard to see it written.

This piece is very familiar to me because it's similar to the internal discussions queer people have. Because I had to come to grips with my internalized homophobia I recognized, and have started to grapple with, my internalized racism. More writing like this from more black people.
