That’s why we see this happen ALL THE TIME. Unlike empty net goals in hockey which happen about once every 100 years. #not

Oh yeah that would be sad.

I don’t know that much about salary negotiations, but I almost see this as Wade determining his market value so that the Heat don’t completely overpay. Maybe they’ll match what someone else offers (and maybe add a little loyalty bonus.)

Yeah I liked him with the Suns and never really had this insight into his personality but what a character.

for a chain, i fucking love La Madeleine, but I discovered it right after college 20 years ago so I am warped.

It’s just the dumbest way to compliment a comment. If I hadn’t heard it a 1,000 times already I woulda ignored it again.

The people who hate Durant for signing with Golden State are the same people who already hated Durant and/or Golden State.

Yes, shut it down there can be no use reading any other comments about this. Turn off the computers. All comments are a competition and clearly there can only be one winner and this is the winner because I have deemed it so.

Given that many teams are scrambling trying to meet the salary FLOOR, I’m surprised we aren’t seeing more 1 year contracts flying around. Sign a few veterans and/or unproven upstarts to 1 year deals and start over next year with a lot more cap room. I’ve seen a lot of examples of long-ish contracts where by year 3 the…

I think they didn’t predict great things for the Rockets but just gave them credit for having ‘done something’ however on this same site they were saying the best move for good teams is the opposite of ‘doing something’: to instead stay good and wait in the wings in case one of the top contenders gets hit with an…

Great font choice as well.

What is the point of a $700 sound bar if it’s not great for music? That sounds insane.

phantasmagorical!! (as ray hudson might say)

I think they get those three back for the third place match though. (Maybe not Jones.) I still want to see what Nagbe and Pulisic can do!! I agree with you in principle but also hold out hope for a surprise performance.

Yeah I could go with that. Hard to call it a landmark since it wasn’t a win, but they looked nearly like Germany’s equals in that match. Crazy to think such an enormous gap had emerged by 2014, yet with the same scoreline.

I’d view that and the lead against Brazil in 2009 as the two tent poles of U.S. achievement in…

oh man this is the funniest friday bear post yet

Y’know, when I first saw Ayesha’s tweet, I cringed. But after reading her apology and her dig here at SAS, I’m fully on board with her again. In fact, if she could just spend most of her time taking digs as Stephen A Smith, that would be delightful.

Yeah I think your overall point was interesting I was just nitpicking about Colombia’s recent strength on the soccer field coming at a time where the country also appears to be opening up and prospering.

You’re just incorrect here.
A) There was absolutely nobody who considered the U.S. anything worse than a slight underdog against Mexico in ‘02.
B) Between 1990 and 2002 WC the USMNT head-to-head record against Mexico was 8 wins, 7 losses, and 5 draws. That included a win against Mexico in the Copa America quarterfinals…
