I totally understand his desire to leave this garbage ass organization. However, I’d be curious to know if there were any discussions of a trade rather than straight up releasing him.*

Since WS home field isn’t in play anymore, can it end in a tie again? I rather enjoyed that.

Yeah. I mean I guess he’s not technically wrong. The south wanted free, forced labor. But it’s still a silly way to frame the issue.

It’s not just primary/secondary. I took a 300 level history survey at a large public university well north of the Mason/Dixon Line, and my professor used this same nonsense (he was kind of a hippie, and I have no reason to believe he was racist), but he said multiple times that the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, it…

It is impossible to honestly defend/support Conderate monuments without acknowledging their foundation in racism. Sure, you can say it’s about heritage/southern pride - but that heritage is a racist one...

Their pettiness is truly pathetic. There are so many things that he does that deserve legitimate scrutiny, and they got caught up in this shit.

I turn 32 this weekend. I think I could hit 61, but I also think my arm would be sore for a couple of days...

Y’all mailing it in early? Good for you! I’ve had about enough of work since about 8:37 this morning.

we’ll blend it so it gives us some more space.

Looks like he could kill a man with those blows! But seriously, this asshole is still gonna win :(

I think you’re right. And why the hell would they wanna sign Paul to a 5 year $200 million dollar contract next year? He’ll be like 40 by the time that thing is done...

False. You ever seen the way young liberals behave when people they disagree get speaking engagements on campus?

When he tells me that Democrats should “be as ballsy and unapologetic about their beliefs as the Republicans are about theirs,” it could be either the character or man talking, and it still makes sense.

As the other response noted, his ability to manage egos is (was, I suppose) his strongest asset - and certainly necessary for the guys he was coaching. As far as being a great basketball mind, I’m not sure those six teams I mentioned needed a lot of Xs and Os to win it all (oversimplification, but still). And like…

Is Phil the luckiest coach in the history of professional sports? I feel like AT LEAST six of his teams (second Bulls three-peat and Lakers three-peat) would have won rings with a jackass like me running the show...

“Meanwhile, teams unsure if Kaepernick was truly interested in continuing his NFL career (rather than focusing solely on his causes) are still wondering.”

I think the real question is whether the tanking is intentional or just Jets-y incompetence. It’s often impossible to distinguish the two...

I ride suburban streets that are conveniently in a grid layout. I stay off main roads. I wear a helmet. I have mirrors to see what’s behind me. I generally wear very bright colors. The few close calls I’ve had are people backing out of driveways in *FRONT* of me. A lack of headphones would have made no difference in…

Hey thanks for being the 90th guy to make this response. I don’t ride my bike through Tribeca or downtown Chicago.

Especially with the way they would run him constantly. Probably would have extended his career if he came of the bench. Those guys all had a lot of miles after 6 straight appearances in the EC Finals.
