Last night the Lakers didn’t sink their first shot from behind the arc until 2:22 in the third quarter.

If this becomes an official olympic sport then we can add it to the list of events that Simone Biles could win in her spare time. 

I will never not star this glorious photo of a true American hero.

An additional star for doubling down on your commitment to Hard Truths. 

I don’t know how you managed to write 1000 words about a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy preventing women from attending soccer games without actually typing the word “Islam” or “Islamic” or “religious fundamentalism” but here we are. At least you had ‘muslim’ in the block quote explaining why this is happening, even…

I read through some of the testimony about the procompetitive benefit of amateurism (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fSWI_PDf5Y7QeouAa_buJVgjmLOpm1UN/view). The crux of the argument presented in that section of the (long, boring, inane) document seems to be “We cannot play the players because we do not pay the…

Looks like regression to the mean to me. That Houston team was pretty good but stretching that Warriors team to 7 games was an unlikely outcome, never mind actually winning the series. It didn’t help that they were abysmal, but playing the Warriors can do that to a team. 

After spending many summers (and some winters) during my formative years on jobsites with a tape in my bags I am obliged to tell you that the correct way to measure how far a tape will extend before collapsing is to place it near your crotch and carefully extend it outwards towards someones face while they are paying…

The viewer knows he will succeed, but the last five minutes are agonizing. I was pleading for him to just get off the wall.

If you can work around the cons, especially initial spend and storage, then ebikes are great. You get the convenience of a bicycle without having to do much of the work. This makes some cyclists very upset, but if you’re on two wheels and not acting like a yahoo then they should not have any reason to complain.

This drawing is fantastic:

I wish I knew as much as you. 

100% in. Suck it, Colorado Rockies (lol your name sucks too). Your Denver-area sports fan is every bit as insufferable as their widely-loathed counterparts in NYC and Boston.

The biggest mistake these guys made is trying to deny that they were doping. They should have just admitted it, served the ban, and possibly continued cycling. Somehow the doper David Millar has a career post-cycling even though he is a pretentious douche, and Valverde gets to wear the goddamn rainbow jersey next…

A guy who served a two year ban for blood doping just won cycling’s most prestigious jersey this past weekend. The UCI and pro peloton appear to be fine with former* dopers as long as you aren’t a titanic asshole like Armstrong. 

This article was a journey, and a good one. Thanks for writing it.

A good summary video from Today on the Korean Server:

Hah you’re onto something. As far as I know the current trend is still an ugly af English Laundry shirt (untucked, natch), hideous bedazzled jeans with maybe a distressed cuff because they are too short or cheap or ‘cool’ to get them hemmed, and obnoxious leather dress shoes or boots. A Panerai watch completes the…
