You should read more of Paul’s stuff.  It’s all like this, and it’s all great!

Great article Paul! I will say that I’ve never used one of those collection bins for packages, and always just take them to the post office in case I under-paid or something. Plus I usually need to get the packaging from them anyway.

Thanks... wow. In that Golden State of Mind article, this stuck out:

I’d almost forgotten that they quietly axed a number of people on the performance side last summer, so it should be telling what comes down the pipe following this.

It is still weird to me to hear Gary Thorne doing play-by-play for anything other than hockey

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but as I’m not obscenely wealthy, I just don’t understand.

FOR ONCE ALL THE DOG SHIT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN WASN’T JUST THE KNICKS! HEY-O!

I viscerally hate the Blackhawks

It will never cease to amaze me how prescient that show was and how relevant it remains now, almost 13 years after it ended.

I hadn’t considered recruiting, I had only heard X would block them because of market saturation(??), but even recruiting doesn’t really hold up. X’s roster has precisely 0 kids from Ohio on it this season, and only 1 from the Cincy area (across the river in Kentucky). UD has 4 from Dayton/Cincy area, 7 total from…

omg I would love us to join the BEast, I stan for that conference so hard (except Xavier... fuck those guys)
