I just remember it beating baseball or hockey or maybe a NBA game.... ok googling...

I don’t mean to get all Simmons on you, but Paul to Boston actually makes some sense. It’s not like Boston would need to give up anything other than salary dumps. It’s basically a team of disorganized players and youth, and Horford isn’t there anymore. They don’t even need a score-first guard, just someone to run the…

How hard can this be? There are available stadiums, labor, and TV ratings.

Drew you didn’t actually provide economic reasons why this would fail, other than that the latest version had scummy backers, and the other attempts were similarly afflicted, overly ambitious (USFL), run by insane people (XFL <—> WWE), were…

Don’t forget the block on Giannis in the playoffs. It just delayed the inevitable, but it was a great game 1.

I will be embarrassed by this comment in short order. I would say it will disqualify me from higher office, and that would have been a safe bet 3 years ago, but ... man ... what is reality these days?

Nevermind telling who is being sarcastic or not. That requires some sense of what reality is. I can’t even figure out…

If you are a top-flight athlete, how do you not have qualified independent medical vetting?

I would think this would be a critical service of those one-stop-shop athlete agent shops: a network of specialists that are top-ranked in the field and not attached to any team interest.

Durant’s injury to the lower leg, which…

Except Brad’s opinions were invalid. So therefore... he should never talk?

Hillary Clinton would have caught them in mid air without skipping a beat.

Of course she never bothered to campaign, thus we’ll never know and we have the Sensitive Orange Combover.

Also, I feel this insult, the show throwing, was reflective of a not-modernized society. I mean, what kind of insult involves you losing a…

“I AM ABOVE AVERAGE!!!!”

Dude, do you know how pathetic “average” is, especially in fat-ass America?

Even the 75th percentile isn’t exactly impressive. Basically those people can walk a quarter mile without assistance.

Chicken marinades: whatever your flavor mix, use some pink grapefruit juice cocktail, or orange juice in a pinch.

That was a weird roommate, but dial that up to 10, eliminate showers, add obsessive exercising including doing abs on his ROOMMATE’S pillows, sticking fingers in the salad bar dressing containers, listening…

I hate quantum video reviews.

The Planck Constant shouldn’t be part of any sports review system, ever. Well, except in quantum pinball.

In large corporations, it comes down to what you are incented/promoted to do.

WHAT ABOUT CRAPPING?

Let’s examine his desires, both stated and behaviorally:

1) live in LA
2) contend for titles
3) don’t have to play all-out every night

I’m not a Laker stan, but I’m guessing two years of both self-imposed and team-assisted minutes restriction means he won’t necessarily want to be “THE MAN” on a team.

The above are really…

I hate Rocketball as much as everyone else, but the dude can pour in points at high efficiency. His usage this year was so insane that a fade was inevitable. 

Pickup Ball Personalities:

Warriors: Stackers who quit when they lose their first game
Rockets: Whiners who call fouls every possession
Celtics: Well Coached But Spoiled Upper Middle Class Kids
Knicks: Big Dumb Uncoordinated Goofs
76ers: Loudmouths who fail in the clutch
Thunder: Ballhogs
Lakers: Bickering squad that loses…

The Process won’t look so great once their one year rentals (Harris and Jimmy Buckets) go sign someplace else. Then you have an oft-injured limited minutes center and a guard that can’t shoot a jump shot, and all you had to do was spend, what, 10 years willingly being unwatchable?

The Raptors did look lost early in the…

Conspiracy theory: the NBA gifted the Pels the #1 pick so they would greenlight the Lakers trade.

Oh, is there a short dwarven dungeon master, a much of mystical weapons that aren’t really deadly like a shield that puts up a force field, a pole that extends to indefinite length?

Is there a wizard named Venger chasing them?

Is Tiamat hanging around?

High school is the first actual experience with the Kafkaesque nature of the modern world.

I wonder if the principal thought she was “bullying” the administration from her bully pulpit.
