“Can you imagine a male athlete having to make the case for, say, baseball, like this, over and over again?

The West didn’t give a shit that Matt Damon was the lead.

I’ll be honest it’s wild this site has on the one hand an article that’s kinda claiming maybe the K-Corner is awkward enough to change the damn strikeout letter in baseball, but here we have an article praising a list that includes among“funny” names some normal fuckin names that just happen to not be English.

It’s not the financial structure of the system, it’s baseball. It’s a random-ass sport that takes 162 games to tease out meaningful differences and then they play a truncated random-ass playoffs.

Keep in mind this dude takes his money from the UAE. Make of it what you will, but the sheikhs are most definitely his benefactors.

This sums it up perfectly.

Well, you got me showing my own ass there, then.

You’re showing your ass here Albert. Wah wah the Warriors won and you weren’t entertained, God forbid you find enjoyment in a basketball season where Giannis Antetokounmpo broke out into a superstar, Russell Westbrook was historically dominant and teams from the Rockets to the Jazz to the Celtics emerged playing…

Yeah but those teams will eventually give way to new teams. The point being argued here is that in a salary-cap-less world it would probably be the same four teams lording over the league for the rest of the time.

Hm, wasn’t familiar with the specifics of her gender makeup. Point I was trying to make still applies I think.

I wish this comment were far higher up and available for all to see.

I’m not entirely comfortable with telling a woman like Caster Semenya or Dutee Chand, who just happen to have outlier testosterone levels for women, that they shouldn’t be allowed to compete and succeed as, well, outliers. That’s the point of sports, no? To see how the human body can test limits? We wouldn’t do this…

Tottenham haven’t won anything. I don’t think anyone has claimed as much. You’re the one insisting that “but no trophies so who cares about Tottenham” when Spurs aren’t even the subject of this column. The entire point of it is that Arsenal have stagnated under Wenger, which incidentally is particularly striking given…

I mean, maybe Cleveland should even indeed be the favorite. But the only deluded suggestion to me is that it won’t be close.

Anyone who’s watched the Premier League the last two seasons would trade Arsenal’s squad and manager for Tottenham’s. You want a cookie for the FA Cup? By all means, have it. You want to define Spurs’ season as a zero? Go for it.

Yes it’s crazy to think a team that went 7 games with Cleveland last year and lost the final game by a hair could instead win this time.

He is choosing which employer he works for. The NBA. This is how the NBA is structured. He’s free to go play in any number of other basketball leagues around the world. There are many, many of them.

If you have access to the full game replay, there’s a play about a minute later where he does the exact same thing trying to pressure LaMarcus Aldridge on a pass. LA is past the three-point line, with Klay and Zaza trying to force a turnover, he goes up to pass and Zaza closes him out and gets an extra step under him…

Give the team their choice of free-throw shooter on any intentional foul that results in free throws.

The easiest way to buy time as a coach/GM in the NFL is to draft a QB hella high and then as slowly as possible bring him along. You can squeeze two, maybe three seasons out of it.
