I kind of want to create a second Kinja handle called "Truth in Highlights" just to (mostly incorrectly) call travels on these sorts of clips. 

I think he means that Rondo and Gasol were the only ones *playing* (the Celtics/Lakers final that year). Because the list of players who were still active would be much larger.

I know the Kelly Green jerseys are more “classic”, and also a bit more unique since other teams arent using that color. But I always thought the navy Whalers jerseys and the whites that went with them were better. Also. The logo still rocks.

That’s a clown question bro

The Mets bought the Syracuse AAA team and renamed them the Mets. That team had terrible attendance last year. They will 100% be keeping Tebow on there to spike attendance to make themselves look good. Vlad will be up in a month or two most likely. So I'd say 5% 

The far worse comment at that presser was from Boras:

I am frankly amazed that there are any fans at all, let alone enough for an audible "Let's Go Hawks" chant, in the 4th overtime of a game between two miserable tanking teams. If you stayed until the end of that game, who hurt you?

Huh, weird. Should have double checked that before taking Forbes' word for it

Harper has the record for one contract now. After this contract he will have earned $382m for his career. That is absolutely dwarfed by what ARod did, making $480m over his career. Jeter made something like $400m. Harper will fall short of those in an era with bigger revenues.

Burneko could correctly qualify this as his biggest solo hit. All of his other notable hits he was either a feature or had a feature on.

The one he got from Rondo was bull, but the rest were legit. LeBron taking a charge, at his age, is just so deliberate and tactical that I’m tempted to say it’s proof of his genius.

They need to improve the G league if they’re doing this. As it is, 19 and 20 year olds are generally butt when they first enter the league and are for years. Playoff contending teams deal away their first round picks ritualistically for lukewarm veterans because the time it will take someone drafted to start…

Not enough people in the replies here seem to have gotten the pun, but that's good work 

Deadspin ranks the Indians pitchers:

As much as I love the Indians and wish they would spend more money, I will be so happy if the Indians decide to trade Bauer next year to avoid paying him likely $20m+ in arbitration next year. Better him than Kluber. 

The revised point is better (about sitting on cash), but your initial post literally didnt mention that. You just said it sucks that smaller, less exciting teams get players like Machado. And that take, taken without additional context, sucks. You're basically only left with saying "it should have been obvious what I…

Pretty much. From beat writer Terry Pluto:

Bauer is a really big believer in his own training methods, and he's very proud of not having any arm injuries throughout his career. He also has pitched a lot of innings. To him, he doesn't run that risk because he does things like long toss, or the super hard throws during warmups and the weird exercise with the…

The Suns really aren’t tanking so much as they just naturally suck. I mean, sure it doesn’t help that they haven’t signed any veterans of note in a decade, but it’s not like they’re benching their star players for extended periods for dubious injuries (Cavs - Love, Thompson, Knicks - Porzingis) or sitting serviceable…

Its 100% a flagrant 1. Flagrant 1 doesn’t mean you violently throw someone onto the floor. The definition is:
