The thing that always astonished me was his footwork and athleticism. You always hear of big guys losing their effectiveness deep into their age due to health and movement fading away, but he kept himself in prime condition, leaning out over the years to make sure his main tool on offense was still there.

Those are his Bad News Jeans

Jones can’t get licensed.

Jones: haha made you cry again.

I totally underestimated Dana White. I thought his jeans would be bedazzled.

you forgot, on paper. The Cavs are the NBA champs.

Actually, my Cleveland Cavaliers, who had NEVER won anything before this (you guys won it last year), and had been 52 YEARS since we won anything (I seem to remember the Giants winning it all in recent memory, and I won’t even bring up Joe and Steve) is the best team in the NBA (who has the O’Brien?). So no, I can’t…

Fixed that for you.

Joe Lacob had a team of Silicon Valley programmers create a secret algorithm that determined “Adding Kevin Durant is good.” Will the disruption ever end?

Sounds like it wasn’t so much that Tony put Denny away... the *idea* of Tony put Denny away. Rear-view driving.

Whoa whoa whoa, I’m all for jingoism, but that’s a Fox Sports+Skip Bayless level lede right there. There’s ten other dudes on the pitch, yeah? Presumably paid a lot of money? Just as vested as Messi in whether the team wins or loses?

This. He totally comes across as a fan who just happens to know more about the sport than 99% of the world. I’m digging Gordon in his new role.

He said as much in the post race interview, that he was watching his rear view.

I thought the same, but the NASCAR replays showed he had a bit of wheel hop in the rear and he locked up the front brakes. Seems like he was “racing from the rear view mirror” and went into the turn too fast, causing the aforementioned.

That inclination to remain pure while other people do the work is exactly why Barney Frank hates Bernie Sanders.

If you want real change to happen, I don’t think the place to start is at the top of the ticket in a presidential election year. Third parties should be building at the local and state levels to create active and vibrant political parties and the aparati necessary to win and govern there. Once they start doing that…

Considering that the real prize here is Scotus, any Bernie supporter who votes for Stein is a schmuck.

I’m not sure why you are acting like we haven’t been on the slow move left since Obama was elected. I don’t know where you live but I live in a state the usually only goes blue during presidential election years. This means any progressive leftward movement is met by a heavy backlash from the more consistently voting…

No it wouldn’t—it wouldn’t change. Jill Stein is woefully unprepared and unqualified to be president. Sorry to burst your bubble. Go read the AMA she did on Reddit.

Exactly! Spot on analogy.
