Thank you for posting this. My thoughts exactly.

Holy shit yes, agreed 1000x on the Dutchman’s celebration. As if he’s a world-beater or something. Give me a damn break.

No way. Is that real? That can’t be real. It doesn’t look real. But it looks real. Is that real?

Ben Simmons is a very good player, but until he can reliably make jumpers his teams will have a playoff ceiling: unless playoff matchups break perfectly for him he’ll always be facing coaches good enough to neutralize his strengths. Can you imagine him trying this “Can’t shoot outside 5 feet” shit on KD and the Dubs…

So every SW movie will have one or more of those things. It’s kinda been caught in a web of it’s own making...

Absolutely right! Give the man as much rest as you possibly can!

This series was over before it even started, and I’ll agree we should enjoy LBJ while we still have him at the peak of his powers.

A question: are women doing this, shacking up with men they find unattractive? I don’t think so.

Damn girl. On the one hand I admire your ability to find positivity in your loneliness. On the other hand I hope you find that meaningful connection.

Godawful pass by the defender there, but this is still all the keeper’s fault. I have told countless youth soccer players that a ball in front of your own goal is not a time to get fancy: boot that motherfucker out as far as you can. No tricks, no strategy, just hoof it upfield and not directly into an oncoming…

Assorted thoughts on this series opener:

Is there some way to hide Compete articles from crossposting/showing up in my Deadspin feed? If that is not a feature (hiding crossposts from specific sites in the Gawkerverse), can you ask the Kinja experts if that can be made one?

Melo is freaking delusional. He’s not a max player anymore, stagnates every offense he touches, and gets burned on defense all day long. Coming off the bench is the best situation for him at this point: be the focal point of the offense, pick on weaker defenders, and not have to try as hard on defense. Swallow your…

Who would willingly subject themselves to extreme emotional distress on purpose? Someone who hasn’t experienced it in real life, that’s who.

Thank you for mentioning this. The Miami pastel kit is one of the greatest ever, in any sport, and should never go away. It’s age-proof.

Damn, is it just me or is the commentariot taking his remarks out of context? He’s merely foreshadowing a generational approach to Avatar’s sequels, in a similar fashion as the Godfather trilogy vaguely did, not equating their quality as films. My favorite two movies of all time are The Godfather I & II, so I’d be…

I wholeheartedly agree. I don’t look down on prostitution—oldest profession, do what ya gotta do, consenting adults, etc.—but this sugar baby stuff is just the same thing. Sugar Babies can try to dress it up with a veneer of respectability, but you’re not fooling anyone with half a brain: you fuck for money.

I won’t reply to the Russian trolls trying to impugn you for a very valid point (i.e. if he irrationally takes credit for the good times, he should take blame for the bad by his own idiotic logic), but here’s your screencap for posterity’s sake:

I’m sorry Scoot Gimple, but there’s no way I’m buying into the thought of the story “evolving”. I watched the first 3 seasons, have hate-read the recaps since then, and it is the same goddamn lather-rinse-repeat plot arcs every season: go somewhere, meet an adversary, lose some characters, fight and defeat that person.

I’m disappointed that so many Jalops are defending this guy using the shoulder as a lane. He’s a dick (unless there was some sort of life-threatening issue for himself or a passenger), and deserves as big a fine as the cop can write.
