The answer is both, duh.

Clearly a lot of stress eating went down this offseason.

Larry Bird. Tommy Heinsohn. Bill Russell. Mike Ditka (debatable if he was a good or lucky coach). 

Because the NCAA is a free minor league and pre-NBA marketing machine. How many household names are born in March?

Geely is pretty successful.  But I suppose yes, the first American car company in a while.  Err, how are we measuring success while we’re at it?

Followed by the important command, "speak!" after each question. 

Right. Besides all live sports will probably be eaten alive by esports. 

I’m not from Texas, but go to Houston to support clients from time to time. I very quickly learned that scheduling meetings between the Woodlands and Sugar Land requires leaving at least two hours for driving. Just in case.

Just a little less power and he’s got himself a blooper.  

The Apple genius they hired proved to be completely unaware of how much of the retail business he entered worked.

The dealership model works well for the manufacturers. They get to sell product as it rolls off the line, the product is readily accessible to the vast buying public almost anywhere in the world, and they don’t have to pay for a large network of building to provide warranty service and manage recalls.

My kids get preseason school reps next week here in Massachusetts.  Two days next week.  September really eases them in with the holidays stacked up.  They don’t go a full week until the end of September.  

Lebron James. Well, maybe a few weeks ago. 

I’m fine with Ariza bouncing, he’s aging and not nearly the defender he once was.  Luc leaving is a bigger surprise.  I assumed once he recovered from his injury that he was basically younger Ariza.  So with the rockets, who knows!?

Yup.  It’s unclear how valuable Capella is playing on a mediocre team.  Rim running requires highly skilled guards/wings to drive the lane and lob you a perfect pass.  $17 million is just fine for Clint Capella in this league given his limited skill set.  

Amen. My daughter saw the Sun for a birthday party last year and loved it. Met players had a great time. And as the precocious 10 yo starts to learn more about the world she decided the NBA is now the MNBA. So we have the MNBA and WNBA in this household. I couldn't be more pleased with that small step. 

This and more and the excellent Instagram account Chadtucket.

Why are people driving so damn far?  If I can’t reach it within 6 hours in a car, it’s not worth going to.  Or I need to figure out a way to afford the flights.
