The gift that keeps gifting

Fun story: Had a “profile picture” bet with an Islander fan friend of mine when the Islanders played the Rangers a few years ago. The Islanders won, so I had to change my profile picture to the Islanders logo for a week. Guess which logo I chose...

Hot take alert: I actually loved 90's, early 2000's basketball. I still love basketball. Both styles are fun in their own way.

I guess one can chalk the first quote up to being uninformed at the time (I’m guessing this is February?), and while there was stuff worth worrying about, the truly scary shit didn’t start until later in the campaign. He, like anyone else, is allowed to (and, in fact, should be encouraged to) change his mind as time…

I don’t really have anything against Mark Cuban; he actually seems like a pretty cool guy, at least as far as a billionaire could be.

Hell, his one undeniable talent as a coach who has been blessed with the best talent any coach has ever had was his ability to connect with, or at least, understand young black men.

Normally I would say “no”, that people are just looking for reasons to be offended. And, they usually will find what they’re looking for as long as they keep trying. Anyone who disagrees will be labeled as privileged or even racist themselves.

+ a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that?

I like Kluwe, but this is just petty.

It’s about game situation. If you’re down by 6, a field goal makes it a 3 point game with a quarter left, plenty of time to score another field goal to tie it (as Barry explained).

I spent a good 5 minutes staring the ballot last week before I finally did the responsible thing and chose Clinton, the only one of the two reprehensible options that knows how many amendments are in the Constitution.

Wait, are you suggesting that people around the country don’t care THAT much about Boston sports or Boston sports fans? This is what you get spending an episode on a mock trial on deflategate, an interview with a drunk Ben Affleck talking about deflategate, and an interview with Paul Pierce.

Why would you bother with context?

The Deepwater Horizon explosion killed 11 people. But, since there wasn’t terrorism involved, people focused on the sad pelicans stuck in oil instead of the human victims.

Native NYer here, and I remember I went to Chicago once to take my sister to go look at colleges. We’re driving along, and I find the local Chicago sports radio station. Make it about 20 minutes when that fucking jingle starts. I thought it was just a NY thing, just like I wouldn’t expect to hear about Ray Catena or…

You’re lying. How do I know, you ask?

I’m not sure who exactly you’re referring to, because I’ve seen many major news publications offer very critical articles on him. Haven’t watched much cable coverage, as I typically find it sensational and unsubstantial.

Wait, but I thought white people can’t be oppressed?

I feel like the fact that ratings were down so much on Tuesday deserves some sort of context...

“He then said that he doesn’t discuss politics out in the open because he doesn’t want to piss anyone off.”
