Buried in a random comments section is a “high profile” place to raise this? On a site that routinely writes entire articles about what a dumpster fire the NCAA is and how it’s treatment of athletes is hypocritical and shameful? Ohhkayy....

But do you have a life size image of him that you bow to every day and ask for forgiveness? No? Hater.

Hey buddy. This thread is for complaining about NCAA tournament selections. Complaining about how the NCAA and big time college athletics in general are an exploitative shit-show is down the hall.

Yeah, I grew up in Palo Alto and now live in Mountain View and I feel like for the 30 years I’ve been aware of it they’ve been trying to and failing to make downtown San Jose a thing. I mean, it’s not a bad place, it just somehow manages to have 0 character. Otoh the downtown has a bunch of decent bars and restaurants…

I’d say Technique > Size/Strength. I’m sure Hearns is plenty strong, but if you know how to measure distance and throw a punch (and that guy sure seemed like he did), you’re going to do damage if the person doesn’t know how to defend themselves (e.g. not hang out in punching range). 

Not really. The agent also should have negotiated billing.

“...you’d think NBA fans would skew more progressive than than the general population...”

I think this kind of makes the point that “SJW” is kind of used as a catchall for any group of people that you don’t like who use the language of social justice. Like if you divorce the term of context, it sounds laudable: “I’m fighting for social justice!”. Who is against justice, social or otherwise?

New Deadspin feature: Let’s Remember Some Commercials.

I’m trying to imagine a scenario where someone asks me to help them download the Uber app, I initially blow them off (I’m busy, geez), and then somehow they manage to get me to hold still long enough to tell me that they just got out of prison for a murder they didn’t commit after 27 years *and* that they now draw…

Wow. Wrecked’em.

I’ve seen that commercial, and the answer is “sign up to kill people”.

Funny story: That man would go on...to be president.

The fact that you think “the demand for racism is exceeding the supply of racism” is a plausible statement is *exactly* why this is depressing.

Point of order: UCLA is a much better undergrad school than USC, except maybe in film.

Is the “rocking the baby” thing like a way to do the “big balls” taunt without getting T-ed up for it? The announcers seemed confused about who he was “rocking to sleep” - the defender? the crowd?

True Detective?

Hey. Which part of “I’m a 45 year old white man” didn’t you understand. :P

Hah, just mentioned her above while managing to misspell her name twice. Did I mention I was an out of touch white guy? She is seriously awesome though (at least that new album - I haven’t dug back yet). Picture Perfect is my new favorite song.

Counterpoint: “Lil Sims” (black female british rapper) is pretty rad.
