“ ‘I signed a contract extension in Cleveland,’ is much sadder than some unworn baby shoes.” - Kevin Love, drunk 

Seems reasonable to me, charging a candle to a guy’s room is a pretty wicked practical joke.

Misses team flight because he handcuffed himself to Twitter HQ protesting a three-day Twitter ban for harassing a female sportswriter.

I’ve used ToadBusters! They claim they ship them out-of-state for people to keep as pets (seriously), but sometimes do have to euthanize with topical benzocaine and industrial freezers.

I’m dying laughing at some dumb rich kid who will forever have to live with “He is small but he has a long torso but short strong legs plus he is fast” describing him in a court filing. 

depends on the institution — at a small, private school maybe, but Stanford, Yale, Gtown, USC, UCLA, etc. definitely don’t need the money and another rich dumb kid makes them objectively worse places. 

only if we consider Dwight Howard technically deceased

i see your point up until the inevitability of hormone testing as a litmus for participation in women’s sports. Why test at all? without hormonal restrictions, will some (but probably not all) of the top performers in women’s sports be intersex women, trans women, etc.? seems likely, but i’m not sure that destroys…

Locker room talk, literally. This place had a reputation among some of the old guys at the golf/tennis clubs nearby. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he heard about it from some other creepy old dude at Trump National.

Rich old people are bizzarely cheap.

Spring training going on in Jupiter too, and one of the businesses that got raided is pretty close to the Cardinals’ facility. 

Louisiana’s senators are going to motion that Congress declare AD an enemy combatant. 

without the ongoing arbitration Kaepernick can now comment freely, give interviews, etc. on other issues. I can see settling this grievance as a step towards a more public role as an activist.

So when Zion does it this is cool but when it’s Tom Brady he gets called a cheater. Really makes you think.

Weird flex but ok 

Given Magic’s track record as LA Tamperer-in-Chief, this will end with Simmons traded to the Hornets and LeBron seething with rage.

The weight loss-evangelical connection is super interesting. Some evangelical traditions have their roots in gnostic beliefs re: the “corruption of the body,” where all things physical are manifestations of evil. Diet fads are the new asceticism/self-punishment I guess, so to some evangelicals diminishing the human…

“The state of our union is not so strong. But with the appointment of Dr. Guerrero, it will be pliable.” - Trump, veering off-script on Tuesday

“He’s on fire” isn’t going to have quite the same ring to it after a Knicks player burns to death at mid court. 

I can’t wait to watch JR Smith play a possession shoeless because he can’t remember his phone lock code.
