My first exposure to Bill Paxton as a kid was Apollo 13. And even there, playing a goddamn ASTRONAUT, he’s a doofus. He blows chunks 3 minutes into space, dicks around with the camera while broadcasting to Houston, and generally gives off a “why is he here but I’m glad he is” vibe. RIP.

In fairness, she mentions “the strain of playing year-round” and the physical toll it has taken. A lot of WNBA players play overseas once the season ends. I don’t think it’s fair to equate a profession that requires year-round strenuous physical activity and training to being an accountant.

This is exactly why I get in so many fights with people that claim Hinkie is a genius and the Sixers shouldn’t have fired him. Even if “The Process” was the right approach, the execution was absolutely terrible. The list of players that could have been had instead of MKG, Okafor, Noel, etc. is embarrassing. Of all of…

Bernie was the only candidate with Bernie’s message, so yeah, he would have won.

Not only is Trump a gigantic bigot and a clown, HRC lost while outspending him almost 3:1. That alone should tell you how moronic it would be to go with Perez. Dems will crash and burn if they are not united around Bernie’s platform, because

apparently not realizing that Oakley could beat Dolan to death on the floor of the Garden without a single Knicks fan thinking less of him for it

Not to turn a sportsball discussion too political... but this seems like an especially inappropriate time to be assessing “how American” a person needs to be to contribute.

“With all the respect for Timmy, I feel it’s not if you’re half American or full-American. It’s more what you have in here [taps his chest].”

I’m sorry but, even more so than Bonds or Clemens, Bagwell was clearly on the juice.

JEFF FISHER: I’m not fucking going 7-9!

I like Cooper, mainly because he’s not a DB. And he doesn’t blame anything on wind currents.

I’ve spent my career working in IT. Phil seems like every boss I’ve ever had who insisted on trying to use technology twenty years out of date to solve a problem that he didn’t really understand.

The Cubs gave up Graybar Torres, a shortstop would would be on the depth chart behind Addison Russel, 22, and Javy Baez, 24. When would he ever see consistent major league play behind them?

The Cubs got themselves into a position where giving up a guy like Torres isn’t the end of the world, and they won a WS. Chapman…

I should say he should Get a Grip or at least Pump his brakes or he might be taking a Permanent Vacation from the league.

For wilfully turning a blind eye to young people hurting each other, Asiata faces a possible sentence of 20-40 years coaching college football.

This is such bullshit. The Athletics are only a “large market” team if you judge the size of the market by the number of people in the area compared to other markets.

The English really need to take a lesson from America.

Hinkie is someone who isn’t actually very smart but just does a lot of shit that he’s heard that smart people do so he can seem that way. The wardrobe thing was Einstein. The sand quote is taken from one of the famous astronomers, can’t recall who. He’s basically the Silicon Valley equivalent of your friend on…

The ability of people like this to question everything, except whether they should be people like this, is always fascinating.

I said it with regards to Brexit and it’s just as true here. Whether or not you can beat back the arguments intellectually is beside the point, the reality is those results are a symptom of larger issues within the country. That they make zero fucking sense doesn’t matter when the Centre-Left’s response is “Nah dudes,…
