I am convinced the Spurs tanked the game last night in order to keep Golden St from resting the last 3 games. GS has been looking a bit weary the last few weeks and they could use a break, mentally as much as physically. Anyone else and I’d dismiss it, but with Pops I believe it.

this late in the season, an extra day or two off isn’t going to do much for them. The Popovich system of resting throughout the entire season is when this becomes a benefit. At this point, he should just pull back their minutes some, but keep them active.

“Summitt’s hire was and is infuriating to the qualified female coaching candidates who had to watch the appealing Lady Techsters job go to a 23-year-old kid because of who his mother is”

I think the Caucasian shirt is effective enough for the point it’s making, but it really gains teeth when you replace the “Indians” or “Redskins” with actual racial epithets. No one’s really offended by “Caucasian.” (Well, my sense of geography is offended a bit since it limits the white people to the Caucasus region,…

lol at any label coercing J. Lo in to working with anyone she didn’t want to. She’s worth more than Dr. Luke, even to Sony. She chose this.

I imagine the Rebel Alliance began like a dinner encounter I had with 6 y/o daughter:

I picture Giri saying this to the horrified and disgusted faces he encounters every time he explains his avocado milkshake.

the ghostbusters trailer was painful to watch.

Hmmmm

“I rebel.”

Fascinated that Gawker found the Ghostbusters trailer to be amazing, while are indifferent to this one. This looks fantastic and I’m honestly more excited for this than I was for The Force Awakens.

So you seriously believe that literally the only reason men rape is because they hate women?

I get your point, but would it really help the situation if all rapes were also prosecuted as hate crimes? For one thing, they require separate trials.

Freshman weren’t allowed to play back then. Otherwise there certainly would have been.

that Pittsburgh fan base isn’t far behind... We get it. You’re “blue collar”. You “liked the Pirates before it was cool to like them.”

I was going to call you an asshole, but seeing the way you have them dancing to your tune has begrudgingly earned my respect. You’re a master of your craft. And still kind of an asshole.

honest question - is this much different than you buying into Denton’s bullshit?

While this isn’t for me, the less-snarky aspect is that it is encouraging community in a society that is ever-more less-communal. As a young adult after college I moved to the other side of the country, lived alone, and had no community. This is one positive side of housing like this.

Fair enough. “Well-reviewed” or “Critically acclaimed” would be a better descriptor than “top rated”.

You’re right. It’s the number 1 show on HBO in its time slot in which John Oliver is a host. There, we’ve moved the goalposts and narrowed the field enough that we have a “top rated” explanation.
