He said it would be great for the league to find a compelling spokesman — preferably a player — to promote all of the good things they were doing together.

From USA Today:

There’s an element of “Have you noticed that the premise of Back to the Future involves the threat of mother-son incest?” to some of these observations. Yes—that is, intentionally and overtly, the plot of Back to the Future. Just like Billy being a degenerate gambler who learns no lessons, and the women being the…

Woah, this is a bridge too far. White Men Can’t Jump is a cinematic masterpiece. And I feel like you haven’t watched this movie lately - Gloria not only was interested in Jeopardy, she spent all day every day studying so that she could win when she went on the show. And she didn’t get on the show out of pure chance,…

Blister on his hand sounds like the yanking happened before the game amirite

I dont think it’s so much that he wants to be making these calls as it is that he would like to know what is going on while it is happening.

Its all expected, things are for the looking…

here’s me, feeling bad that a team with a shitty fanbase probably won’t have a chance this to win their eighteenth NBA title this year

I keep harping on this, (stick to sprots!) but Boomers are (and have been) the greatest threat to America as the founders saw it, and have been since they were given the right to vote in 1970. They were given everything, grew up during the most prosperous time in american history, and promptly fucked every coming…

There is very little I wouldn’t do for 70 million dollars, and this kid wouldn’t play basketball for it.

Except Pham had the stats to prove it. This isn’t some weak hitting schlub claiming he could man the outfield for the White Sox in 1994...
