This article really buries the important part of this story that there’s another guy whose last name is Fightmaster.

They’re not sending over their filets and their ribeyes and their new york strips. They’re sending their chuck and their tri-tip. And some, I assume, are sirloin.

It’s easy to avoid tanking when you convince a terrible team to hand you an unprotected first round pick. That Brooklyn pick is more than just a market inefficiency; it’s an anomaly that occurs rarely enough that it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to plan a team-building strategy around it. All those other picks…

It is at this point that some teams would’ve tanked, waiting for their newly acquired stockpile of picks to grow and eventually come good, before they went out and tried to become a better basketball team.

Scouting report: great leverage, huge hands, needs to be more comfortable in his backpedal

Goodell: [shakes Tunsil’s hand] Pretty exciting night for you so far, huh?

i’m not at all a dana white fan but an alternate headline to this post could be: ufc grabs mcgreggors dick, squeezes harder

Deadspin’s UFC coverage is hilarious. I thought it was just a Howard curse, but it appears to be sitewide.

So you don’t think it’s likely that he’s lying?

Well, yes, what you just said is insane.

“Google”

Is there any chance in the world that this guy isn’t a terrible human being?

WASHINGTON INTERN: Sir, Cleveland just traded down for a bunch of picks.

DAN SNYDER: The Browns made a vaguely competent move? This is our chance! We can steal the “Worst Run Franchise” tag right from under their nose.

Tom Petty is not pissed! Nobody on that stage, nor the universe, is pissed at Prince in that moment. Maybe some fellow musicians can weigh in, but to me it’s standard stage communication going on: toward the end, Prince nods at Petty to tell him he’s done. Petty, who’s responsible for ending the tune, shakes his head…

no but seriously what happened to his guitar

Absolutely. They were all enjoying it; Petty for sure. He could have ended it any time (as he ultimately did) with a quick signal to the band to wrap it up (which Prince did perfectly as well). Great performance.

Totally agree. There’s a point where Prince goes to the pedals to wrap things up, and it looks like he’s encouraged by Petty (or someone over there) to keep going. Musicians appreciate when someone’s just on fire, and Prince was out of his mind there. Not a single bad note or repeated phrase. That shit’s magical, and…

I second this emotion. TP is smiling and giggly during this vid. He just has a sour bitchface in general.
