If you thought this would stir up shot besides a bunch of agreement, you misread the room.

*yawn*

The Star Wars brand is obviously very valuable, but to monetize it you have to make the tremendous investment of making and marketing a movie. That depresses its value, I would guess, even though you’re basically guaranteed to turn a profit.

Disappointing. I came here hoping to see the track and field version of Steve Irwin.

Lol your probably to stupid to even no what irony means.

I’m not arguing the Michigan-MSU play isn’t timeless, it is. But the Bautista home run will be timeless as well.

O.J. Simpson never played in the NBA, dumbass, he was a football player for the Buffalo Bills, a football team. A running back. Arenas was a point guard for the Washington Wizards in the NBA. Why would Arenas compare himself to a football player when he is a basketball player?

Are you nuts? That home run/bat flip capped off what might be the most amazing inning of all time. That is a timeless, classic highlight. Listen to the sound when he hits that home run. Holy shit.

I disagree with the tone of this article. Wade’s sacrifices were not selfless. He took less money because, presumably, even given relatively short careers for athletes, there was a diminishing value to more money as compared to the chance to compete for a championship. And at any time in his career when he was a free…

Yeah, almost nothing you said made any sense whatsoever.

Can you show me where in this article, or even in the bombastic NYDN article, anyone said Reyes should be condemned forever?

I agree that his reception was because he was returning to the Mets, and I don’t think many fans were sitting there thinking “What an ordeal this guy went through with his DV suspension, let’s let him know we appreciate him fighting through that.”

Do you not see the real difference between “condemning forever” and “maybe not giving the guy a standing ovation”?

Eh. What I have a mild problem with is treating him like a returning hero. If he had come back from a major injury, that’s great, standing ovation. Hell, if he just comes back after bouncing around the league, give him a standing ovation for all the good shit he did for the Mets in the prime of his career. Under these…

I recognize it’s a child’s game. That doesn’t mean you have to act like a child at all times. Do you really want to see the Warriors lose? Great! A lot of people like rooting against heavy favorites. Do you think Durant going to Golden State is some kind of indication of his lack of competitiveness or moral fiber or…

It’s not easy to win an NBA title. It’s just not. If this spring/summer didn’t prove that, I don’t know what to tell you. That’s like saying someone took an easy path to winning a marathon.

I have no idea what the fuck you’re babbling on about. How is there not a level playing field? The last time I checked, Golden State is not in a monster market. The reason they were in a position to get Kevin Durant is not because they just threw all the money at him. They were in a position to get him because they…

The argument that there is anything easy about winning an NBA title is what’s inane. The word “easy” diesn’t belong anywhere near it. Now matter how good a team is, it’s a tremendous fucking grind, as the Warriors proved this year. It’s fucking laughable that a bunch of sports fans whose only connection to the NBA is…

If I just described OKC to a tee, why does anyone care that he’s going to Golden State? He can play with one future Hall of Famer, or he can play with another. Why does going to play with one particular future Hall of Famer make him a bitch, but staying to play with another would have made him noble or something?

Yeah, in DC. But there wouldn’t be much outrage outside of that. Why should there be? And if there was, it would be as stupid as this is.
