I’d say having a thrice divorced, serial adulterer reality show host with a history of racism, sexual deviance, mocking the disabled, avoiding taxes and filing bankruptcy as President got us here.

He said it would be great for the league to find a compelling spokesman — preferably a player — to promote all of the good things they were doing together.

Well, it’s a conspiracy. Deadspin is a hive mind that hates your team, hometown, and political party, as well as you personally, and only ever writes stories about things you hate. Duh.

Hot take- in a reasonable world Ray Lewis would keep his mouth shut when it came to issues of morality and comportment.

Jesus Gronk, even if you like him, he’s still just a veterinarian. Go to a people doctor.

I’m all for crapping on bad managers, and Kapler certainly seems to be off to a lousy start, but Nick Williams’ complaint is that he knows in advance when he’ll be playing? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Honest question. Baseball is a game that gave Grady Fucking Little two managerial positions and Dusty Baker…

A year from now this will less of an issue, as Lebron should be able to run the point for Golden State if Curry is out.

Grayson Allen must be kicking himself.

Agreed, he owes Jared Goof, Nick Fools, and Case Keynumb an apology.

Exactly, after McNair, Eddie George and that crew were gone Fisher had no success at all. His offenses were predictable and boring but he lived off those few years McNair and George for years until people realized he was inept.

You seem well-informed. Not about the Fisher - Young situation described in this post, but about other stuff for sure.

Time for another reminder that Steve McNair was probably among the greatest QBs of all time but Jeff Fis[c]her fucked him up

The letter came before Young talked shit about him to SI. That’s how he was able to talk about the letter to SI, in the SI interview in which he talked shit about Fisher.

“Of course I don’t give 2 shits about him. I give 7-9 shits about him.”

Actually, the fact that his name was spelled incorrectly is probably a sign that is WAS from Young and not the athletic dept.

Why does no one give Dirk his respect for owning that Heat team???

Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons was one of the greatest performances (if not the greatest) I have ever seen. He scored the final 25 points for Cleveland in a 2OT game. It seems like ancient history, but those Piston teams were no joke. To think he is still playing like this 11 years…

Ah, those heady days of Zo’s Heat versus Ewing’s Knicks. One writer called them tractor pulls. In Harden’s case, the driver falls flailing off the tractor which careens wildly into the field.

I’m glad James Harden and the Rockets are having success. For the last four years, the Warriors have played some of the most entertaining, aesthetically pleasing basketball ever, and it still became cool to shit on them relentlessly.

I’d rather watch a big pound the ball with his back to the basket for 22 seconds than watch James Harden’s bullshit.
