They made it seem like Eric’s wound was survivable. You’d think that these master war geniuses would’ve thought to bring some bandages or something.

Well they have far and away the highest capacity stadium, so yeah

Didn’t they also have a shitload of guns pointed at the one guy they were trying to kill?

AC what you did there

The sad part is that the Pelicans are one of the few teams that can force the Warriors’ hand personnel-wise. The Warriors had to keep Zaza on the court to try and slow down Cousins and Davis (he failed), and couldn’t use their small lineups as much.

Seems like prison suicide was a topic she wanted to write about and she needed a sports angle to make it fit on Deadspin, and went with Hernandez even though it undermines the point of the article.

No, but only because that would involve the Dolphins, Jets, or Bills making the playoffs instead

“So we agree? First we lie, then, if necessary, we deny.”

I agree that the situations don’t really compare, but...

Wasn’t Gordon Gund still the owner when LeBron originally got drafted? James only fell into Gilbert’s lap once.

Doesn’t he know that Yankees are supposed to dive over the wall and brace their fall with the seats?

Cavs fan: “This blog is horseshit.”

It’s just not the same without Ron Barr

Seriously. I sports-hated him when he played for Montreal, but he seems like a really awesome dude in addition to being a great player.

Yeah. The Cavs played the Celtics.

Well I’m not sure about that, but who am I to judge intent? Also Bowen was a sack of garbage.

My bad, thought it was a counter point to the post.

Counterpoint to what? Burneko argued that the rules don’t do much to stop a goon from sliding underneath a jump shooter, because the fouling player probably won’t face physical retribution (or much at all). Pop was telling Bowen to keep playing this way for that same reason–that he’ll only be whistled for a foul.

The “soft” business is dumb, but the Cubs probably had a case that the second baseman didn’t have a play to first regardless of the slide, thanks to the shitty flip from the pitcher.
