That’s actually relevant because he was a Browns assistant a couple of times, and he actually wanted to be their head coach. He was passed over several times, because the Browns never get anything right.

WAR is a perfectly fine stat, but it isn’t the end of the discussion. Omar is an interesting case because various defensive metrics disagree on him. If this were the old days, by reputation alone he would get in on his defense.

Maybe Deadspin should explain their methodology here. Maybe a chart or a list. I’m assuming “Gruesome” is their highest level of content warning. “Disturbing” being a step below that, with “graphic” being a more moderate warning.

The Cavs have been on a really impressive tear, and the weird thing is that they’ve been doing it with enough injuries to have a hardship exception. Today they were without D-Wade, and with Shumpert, Rose and IT out that’s 4 of their rotation guards out. Against Philly they were without Love or Tristan Thompson,…

I was thinking Booker would go to the 76ers for awhile now, but not like this. I figured the 76ers would try to trade off Bayless to clear cap space to pursue a max free agent next year, trading Bayless (a good backup PG, but they have Simmons and eventually will have Fultz) for Booker would have saved them $8M next…

With Livingston out, I had to check to see who the hell else was running point for the Warriors. To my surprise, the answer was Swaggy P. It might have been Durant if he wasn’t ejected just a few plays earlier.

Here’s a quote from something written the last time the Indians brought him back:

As a Cavs fan, I’m torn between who I want less on the team as a backup PG. On one hand Rose is an injured mess who can’t shoot threes. But st least he can dribble, facilitate and generally start the offense on short bursts. He even made some good looking plays to the hoop earlier this year.

I wish I had an animated gif from the episode of Boy Meets World where Mr. Feeney asks someone to please diagram that sentence on the board. I would post that now if I possessed such a gif. It would be sassy, and great.

Eh, the first rebound wasn’t really catchable for any of them, they were all in decent rebounding position it just was a really long miss.

This is Blackjack, begging for food from the couch as I sit in an armchair eating snacks. He is very spoiled, but also very good.

Most owners are shitbags. I live in Cleveland, where our owners are a lesser known Dolan, a should be felon who scams truckers, and a predatory lender with a love of whimsical fonts. That being said, Kroenke probably shouldn’t be on this list. Of owners that moved their team to LA, he is the less loathsome one. At the…

This man was the 4th overall pick when Giannis and Goebert werr still on the board.

Definitely a travel on that second one though.

It’s an easy argument for the defense to slip in some doubt. The player is wearing a helmet, meaning the peripheral vision is not great. You could argue self defense, since it’s a chaotic environment in general. You could argue it was a generally harmless shove that happened to look worse because of the size…

That is some pretty blatant traveling, but obviously it won’t get called in today’s NBA

This is how ubiquitous these shitty uniforms are: I can’t even tell who either team is. The red and white team could be any of Rutgers, Iowa state, Central Michigan, Ball State, Fresno, SMU, Indiana, Houston and more.

Are we discussing the Farmers Only/WVU sign or the Art Briles burn here?

This is at once the most romantic thing ever written and also the most insulting thing you could ever say to a partner. Fantastic stuff.

As an aspiring writer on sexuality, kink, polyamory and such... this is the kind of thing I wish I could write.
