You continue to see this kind of stuff with the top heavy rosters. You have to fill out the bench with minimum contract kind of guys and rookies. Though I must say I was surprised as fuck that Nick Young earned $5 million this year for his role on the Warriors.

I learned one lesson when I lived in Providence, RI. Leave your car doors unlocked and nothing of value in your vehicle. I had a 1999 Escort Wagon (manual, teal, miss you boo) that had a roller vinyl thing to cover the cargo area. But I found out that thieves in Providence would break your glass just to get fifty…

Reading your description puts me in a good spot thinking about my own grandfather. Thanks!

C’est magnifique!

It’s amazing to me that a team that won 73 games not that long ago actually needs Durant to win more titles. I watched this thinking that Lebron’s crap Cavs would easily win this series if Durant wasn’t in it. But Durant was in it. And he was fucking awesome on offense and played great on ball and help defense.

My friends best tips basically come down to being at your service when people get really hammered. He had some rich hedge fund guy pay him $500 to go get him a pack of cigarettes. When the tipping is during drinking and out in the open, it apparently becomes a pissing match and the tips can escalate over stupid…

I have a friend who is head bellman and valet at the Chatham Bars inn on Cape Cod. He clears right around $100k mostly during peak months of May through September.

Regular maintenance is more predictable than say an alternator or water pump failing while you’re on the highway. I had both failure happen to me running my older car, but I had AAA for a tow to my service center and could be without the car for a few days while working from home. Not everybody has time off or…

Gin is divine in the summer. I myself favor a salty dog or a gimlet when the humidity and temperatures rise in tandem. And who could pass on a refreshing gin and tonic on a hot summer afternoon?

While your point is well taken, let’s not forget that having a car break down regularly is not something that many people can afford. You need time to get it fixed. The monthly payment is not the only calculus that goes into deciding whether or not to keep an older vehicle that requires several visits to a shop a year.

Chris Paul getting injured wasn’t great either. Maybe Lebron would like to replace, lets’ see, Ryan Anderson’s slot on the current Rockets? Banana boats for everybody!

When Reggie and CWebb are talking about how bad the calls are, you know what you’re in for in terms of officiating. It was bad.

Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home.

Gordon has been surprisingly awesome. But I completely agree that Harden has to shine big time with Paul out.

Harden has to earn his MVP if Paul can’t go. 40-50 points on an efficient offensive night.

I don’t disagree with those points, I’m in favor of heavily subsidizing renewable energy generation and tighter regulation of utilities to make energy generation cleaner and more affordable. My only point is that whether we’re talking about the price at the pump or the price by the KWH, we can’t escape the fact that…

I’ve never done the infield as I was well beyond college age when I first went to the Preakness. And I went to take in the actual race too, so I understood that the infield was just an excuse to throw a party and rake in revenue. My understanding is that the track doesn’t bank much revenue at all beyond the Preakness…

That’s more the Freakness, which is always a lovely drunken mess on the infield (rain or shine). The nice thing about the Preakness is that for not much money, you can sit in the grandstands and enjoy the day or if you like to PARTY you can spend not much money and get blasted in the infield and not see the race. It’s…

And where do we derive the energy to produce a large amount of domestic electricity in the US? While it’s changing slowly, 77% of US electricity is produced by combusting fossil fuels.

Please. You might hear my poly-blend khakis making a rustling sound if my thighs rub together, but you’ll never hear my NB 608s. Those are assassin shoes. Silent and comfy.
