And, of course, it’s all about personal responsibility, up until it looks like someone might get in trouble, in which case it’s some combination of “just following orders,” “we didn’t mean it,” and “actually, this is good.”

The Wilpons are in real estate, which is like the 0.01% version of owning a bunch of car dealerships, in terms of general sleaziness and sliminess.

Some language really struggle with transliteration/romanization into English. Russian is one of those languages. (Source: the C I got in Russian 101)

Important to remember that he is actually much more famous than anyone on either of these teams and that the players may actually think it’s cool (I have no idea if they do).

Ahh, FedSoc, the top organization for douchebags who wear suits to their 1L torts class.

To be clear, though, the only thing stopping some dictatorial government from buying an NFL team is that no one outside of the US cares. For the most part, sovereign wealth fund-funded scumbags with oil wealth like soccer, not football, basketball or baseball.

Amash is the type of guy you meet a lot of at law schools. He’s really, really thought through his position and it all works out logically, but it’s based on a terribly wrong premise, which he will never, ever reconsider. As a result, his views on the world are terrible and unrealistic.

I was about to make a joke about how the only drug Ty Lawson abuses is gravy, but then I realized I’d confused him and Ray Felton.

Wait, so you can be banned from the NBA for testing positive for coke once? That’s pretty draconian!

I went to a talk about the Iran deal right after it was signed and the designated anti-deal guy’s entire argument was that Iran couldn’t be trusted and, as a result, the deal was a massive giveaway. Wonder if he feels like a complete idiot now. Probably not.

Wait...you’re telling me that...the National Review is against...socialism? What a stunning ideological turn! Surely nothing in the past 70 years could have predicted this!

Minor correction: Kinsler’s homer put them up 4-2. Gregory Polanco hit a solo homer later to bring it within one.

Amare Stoudemire approves.

Also it’s worth noting that the predominant concern with the Iran deal at the time was that Iran would not follow it. Of course, the United States unilaterally withdrew and, last I checked, Iran was still complying.

I think it was Aaron, but someone was retweeting a guy demanding $50 from every Twitter verified journalist who got this wrong yesterday. Gave me a good laugh.

LOL, I think the issue is that a lot of people have tried to talk him out of this, and BdB has refused to let himself be dissuaded. What a dipshit.

Yeah, this is insanely, painfully sloppy work from a website based in New York. I don’t know where Rafi is based, nor do I know who wrote the headline, but it’s NYC journalism 101 at this point that the Governor controls the MTA.

(Congress goes into recess next Thursday and returns on June 4, after Labor Day.)

And yet so many people in charge of things far more important than the Cleveland Cavaliers are completely incapable of doing it!

When I read these takes, I actually feel like I hallucinated them sweeping the Blazers in the playoffs LAST YEAR. I’m not delusional and as a result I won’t argue the Pels are well run, but the gap between them and the Knicks or the Suns or the Kings or the Cavs or the Lakers is pretty big.
