It’s only “much, much better” if you consider mystery close to the equivalent of quality.

Not sure what point you’re trying to make. Congratulations on getting your wish and there being no evidence you’re closer to your goal than you were before you were screaming to blow it up, I guess? That definitely makes it rational for Sixers fans to rush to defend Hinkie at every possible turn.

And they’re still terrible, with no reason to either believe (a) they’re appreciably further away from being terrible or (b) that they’re anywhere close to the sort of payoff that would justify how bad they’ve been the last 3 seasons.

Hinkie was all branding and no substance. His sole talent was convincing ownership (for awhile) and Philadelphia fans (apparently forever) that repeated abject failure was innovative. Everyone who knows anything about the NBA understands that (1) the worse you are in any given season, the better chance you have to get…

Of course it’s logical to want to sign better players. What I was criticizing was the multi-year “courtship” of Durant by Wizards fans which culminated in openly cheering for him and fawning over him when the Thunder came to town, turning a game between two ostensibly quality teams into kind of a joke. I mean, for a…

He specifically said politics has nothing to do with the day-to-day job of a sports reporter. It does, in a variety of ways. It is not sports reporters job to indulge an ignorant, false fantasy of fans.

I didn’t say adding his political opinion was part of his job. He wasn’t asked whether adding his political opinion was part of his job. He was asked whether people in the sports media should make their political opinions known. His answer was, in part, no, because politics is not a “normal day-to-day topic of…

I’m not one to insult fans for shy like this, but the KD2DC thing really struck me as pathetic. For at least a couple seasons there was a decently entertaining playoff team with at least John Wall giving a reason to watch every night. I don’t think Durant was coming here anyway, especially after this dumpster fire of…

Schefter was specifically saying that sports reporters should not make their politics known because politics has nothing to do with sports. He also said he had never referenced anything political. Both are untrue. It’s fine if he wants to avoid taking a stand on any issue (although he hasn’t done that, for example…

What’s your point?

Sigh.

Loria and Haslam, to name at least two. Randavie too. I mean, Snyder is in the vanguard in that category, but there’s a lot of toxic shitheads on that list.

As a fan of his stupid football team, I never tire of hearing how awful that shitstain of a human being is. But that is a murderer’s row of awfulness. Vivek Ranadive literally has no idea what he’s doing. Jimmy Haslam is a thief who somehow manages to run a worse organization than Snyder. Stan Kroenke fucked over an…

He specifically said:

Actually that’s not what he’s saying. What he’s saying is that sports is separate from politics, and that’s why sports reporters should never disclose their political viewpoint. He’a saying sports figures should not discuss politics because sports is escapism. It’s fine if Schefter does not want to discuss his own…

I think you’re misunderstanding. I don’t think the issue is with whether Schefter actively engaged in political discourse of the “I support X candidate” or “Here is where I stand on Y issue.” What’s being criticized is this false notion that sports can be kept inherently separate from politics, and that sports figures…

Haha, got it.

He should lose his license yesterday. Either (a) because he’s so incompetent he doesn’t understand the rudimentary basics of privilege or (b) because he’s threatening people with frivolous lawsuits. Attorney-client privilege protects from disclosure communications between an attorney and a client so long as those…

Who on San Antonio played like a top 10 player of all time this season?

Was he a top 10 player this year? How many games did San Antonio win this year?
