I lived in MN for 9 years, including the first few of Flip’s first run, and I’m a huge KG apologist. So this is an honest Q: Why exactly does Flip deserve a banner? Any realistic assessment of...frankly the entirety of the T-Pups existence...says that other than KG, there hasn’t been anyone worthy of his own banner.

It’s nore like, “Rich guy spends a boatload of dough to learn what regular people have always known.”

The C’s don’t need another wing player, they need a big. Butler/George won’t make the difference. 

I’m sure there’s some of that going on, but it’s pretty silly to dismiss the many valid points in favor of Harden, Bron, and Kawhi. It’s also somewhat irresponsible to ignore the fact that Russ’ triple double quest has come at the expense of on-ball defense as he chases rebounds that even his half-stiff teammates can…

The fact that there is a wide variety of opinions on the MVP race shows that the answer is NOT obvious. Pretending that you have some kind of monopoly on understanding, while many (perhaps most) of your colleagues are simply flat-out wrong, is myopic at best.

people ain’t mascots.

I think most flyers know about the couple hundred dollars in vouchers they’ll toss your way if you voluntarily get bumped at the gate. But I bet most of us didn’t know you could get up to $1300 for an involuntary bump. Had they simply said, OK, first 4 volunteers to give up your seat get $1300 cash, I bet 20 people…

Maybe if you can get your dog to teach you how to lick your own balls, you’ll be more relaxed about capitalism destroying our planet and our species.

IDK how y’all decide which old articles get placed atop the home pages of each site, but this one needs to see the light again.

I’m an MMA guy but lately I’ve been “acquiring” a video of the fights after reading DS’s write up. .

First they came for the box scores, and I didn’t speak up cuz I can use the fucking internet....

Many Raps fans would have Lowry over DeMar, though his late season injury prob ended his chance. I’d prob put Thomas and CP3 in and have Lillard and Wall play 1 on 1 for the last spot.

As a Bruins fan from back in the Adams days, I grew up hating the Habs and Sabres, not really caring about the Nordiques (except Peter Stasney), and feeling bad for the Whalers. The rivalries were real. I assume the goal circa 2014 was to rekindle some of this emotion, but I think the fans have changed with the advent…

If you were saying, “The owners will hold this up to extract concessions from the players cuz that’s the nature of negotiations” I would pretty much agree. But saying the owners get value from MJ suspensions, I just don’t see it. They save a few bucks in salary, take a wee hit in credibility and PR. The biggest risk…

Oh, the irony. I’m in Barcelona right now, and I can’t watch these highlights, “not available in my country”.

The problem I have with this stance is that it implies that the owners are giving up something that they want to keep but the players want to eliminate. I’d argue the reality is that dropping marijuana testing would help both players and owners, the league as a whole. In other words, it ought to be a…

Guys I know...I’m leaving it at that...make most of their money on games that you and I would think are totally random. Thailand matches, random Indonesian matches, basically they’re the easiest to fix. My friends aren’t fixers, just people who know what to look for. If you study all the lines (I’m talking full time),…

Briles’s session at the clinic was titled “Making Concepts Into Themes,” though it does not appear that he spoke about making the concept of sexual assault into a theme that ultimately comes to define and derail your program.

As a Raps fan, I fear that we’ll provide much of the 1st round drama, especially if Kyle Lowry doesn’t return.
