Apparently the latter song is 'Drifting Days' by some band called Pocket Submarine. Fuck that song.

I don't know if anyone else here has been watching Ye Olde NBA Playoffs, but I swear to God if I hear either Pharrell Williams' 'Come Get it Bae' or that fucking song on the Corona commercials that sounds like Band of Horses one more time, I'm going to scream.

The mother is Ellen Tigh.

So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show finale. . .that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?

Yep. The USFL was sort of doomed anyway, but Trump definitely expedited the process in a big way.

That would be pretty cool, though the Knicks fan in me hopes that NY could sign KD. Chandler, Amar'e, and (barf) Andrea Bargnani are all off the books by the time KD is a FA. Who knows, maybe even Melo isn't on the team, either.

I wouldn't say that owners are 'usually' a bigger detriment to their teams than anything else. They have the potential to be since they own the team, but the flip side of that is that they can also be a huge boon to their team. Even within your example, Al Davis was a great owner for the Raiders for years. Excellent…

This. It would also be pretty cool for Seattle to have a ready-made winning team, too, considering that the original Sonics left just as they were getting good again. They only had Kevin Durant for one dreadful season before they took off to OKC.

I would say yes. It's been well-known for years (and is very evident in the audio above) that he has a 'plantation-style' mentality about his ownership of the team and employment of black players. He seems to think that he is doing black players a favor by employing them. In his eyes, they're not earning their money,…

I don't think they have editors for any of the TV stuff, however if there is an egregious error or annoying sentence, they will go back and fix or change it (usually, even more annoyingly, without noting that they changed the error).

Super OT, but it's cool to see some MLBTR crossover posting here.

Truth. Toss Amar'e Stoudemire in on the post play discussion. In the latter half of this season he showcased his old moves and was very successful. Dude's got some of the most inventive and quick moves in the league.

Disagree. Pippen and Grant did, in fact, explode statistically. From 92-93 to 93-94, Pippen had 3 more points, an extra rebound, and an extra steal per game. Grant added nearly two more points and rebounds per game. Kukoc added 11 points, 4 boards and three assists from nowhere. You're focusing way too much on the…

I like that he was in the mental institution at the end, too.

In the literal sense, yes, the Bulls replaced Jordan at SG with Pete Myers and Steve Kerr. However, look at the stats: Pippen and Grant exploded statistically and they added a very efficient and underrated Kukoc. They replaced Jordan with a series of guys stepping their games up. Note that Jordan only missed one…

Woah, this is not true. The Knicks best scorer, by far, was Ewing. Almost every play ran through Ewing. Starks was 2nd option all the way.

Anyone want to talk Review? Last night's ep was another solid one. Before the series began, I was wondering how they were going to wring a bunch of episodes out of the premise, but the show has done a great job establishing Forrest as well as his interactions with the supporting cast. And Andy Daly is just great in…

adBlock!

When they were showing the Pistons 'slinking off the court', I wondered why the documentary didn't re-mention that the Celtics did the exact same thing to the Pistons in one of their 80s series. They mentioned it earlier in the doc, but then made no mention of it later when they were discussing the Pistons' similar…

This. I was going to post this exact thing. The comparison b/t Laimbeer and Sherman is not a very apt one. Sherman's biggest transgression is that he talks trash, and that his brashness doesn't fit the mold of how a very vocal minority of sports fans seem to think an athlete should act.
