Yeah, I would HATE to play for an organization that traded the shell of Isaiah Thomas for a top-10/top-15 player like Kyrie Irving.  Can’t do that!  Loyalty’s the important thing!

Shit fences make shit neighbors.

If I’ve been reading The Root correctly, they’re all “Becky,” regardless of what it might say on their birth certificate.

2018 rulebook.  And the rule says “pull” - guys get pushed through the pile all of the time on short-yardage plays.

“An old incident... “ like, in 2016?

Uh no.  Rams won the Super Bowl (for the 2000 season) in January 2001, a year after the Ravens won theirs.  Pats/Rams regular season game was November 2001, ultimately a preview of that year’s title match.

Please tell me that #1 was Marv Albert.

Faulk was a tough SOB even for being undersized.  Excellent pass blocker against guys a helluva lot bigger than he was.

What options do you actually need, unless you offroad? It’s a fucking truck.

There are some Frontiers, single-cap, RWD.  VERY basic.  Just about $20k new.  Not a ton of them around, but a few.

Define “worthwhile”? I bought a brand-new, crew-cab Frontier, four wheel drive for $28k. It ain’t fancy, but it works perfectly well as my daily driver. Could have gotten in for $26k if I didn’ want the tow package and a few other options. Cheaper than the Taco but even that, you’re in the low-$30s for a perfectly…

He walked across the country earlier this year, so a friend and I caught up with him on the MA/NY border and walked a couple miles in the rain with him. In that hour, he was just as you would expect - whip-smart, funny, sarcastic, and determined.  I even made him laugh, which pretty much made my year.  

That’s the problem. The entirety of “The Process” was “Lose Games Get Picks,” it never considered other ways (good coaching! player development!) that teams could improve.

Simmons doesn’t even need to MAKE that many 3 pointers for the team to be better-off with him taking them at least occasionally. There was a good piece on Marcus Smart last year, talking about how (as frustrating as it is) the offense as a whole runs better if he’s shooting 1-5 from deep than if he’s 0-for-0. Even if…

Gabe Fernandez really fucked that up.

Is that the bridge over the River Kok?

Just kiss him already, you fool!

Zoom-zoom go boom-boom.

That’s it right there. Why pay extra for maybe a marginal improvement at the plate, especially if you’re a mid- or small-market team that’s not really competing this year? Give the job to a younger guy, especially if they’ve got a little more upside.

Police unions. And you’ll never get a Gawker site to say an ill word about unions.
