Thank you for your service

Ha the NBA is against the Boston Celtics and for the team that was so embarrassing they forced them to fire the GM who built this because they don’t want to give other teams the idea its OK?

You realize one part of the process was giving a ton of playing time to dozens of nobodies in order to maybe find cheap rotational players for the time when they were making their run? Yes, it helped them lose games but that’s what they were doing while people were yelling at them to sign useless vets for “culture”.…

That second one is egregious and is a travel period. There should be no problem calling that. Harden is so quick with it though the I can see how the ref missed it even when standing right there. The other one is borderline and I agree they shouldn’t start calling it now but it should be reviewed.

My point wasn’t that any of those guys are generational talents just that the Center position still exists and is valued so we will see further greats.

One meniscus injury and almost three years since his last foot injury. But yes the only reason I said “might be watching” is because of his injury history. That’s the only thing stopping him from getting in that conversation. So point still stands, Dwight is not the last great center. Embiid is a strong possibility,…

Joel Embiid says Hi. And the number 1 overall pick is about to be a 7'2" center. And there is still room in the league for guys like Drummond, Whiteside, Gasol etc. Enough with the hyberbole that centers don’t exist anymore. We will see more great generational centers. And might be watching the beginning of one right…

The “Mikes” shtick is painfully unfunny

Am I the only who sees these are (I think) iPhone 4s which are like 8 years old. Even not rich teens probably have at least 6 by now. I am sure this phone was pulled out of a drawer at home with no care if it actually broke.

They also drafted “Extremely Slow Enormous Forehead Haver” Kyle Anderson (so witty!) and Davis Bertans in those same areas of the draft! It’s almost like they got extremely luck in a crapshoot. You’re excellent at talking around your own logic while having your pompous head so far up your own ass though. These world…

On top of that, this is just incredibly lazy writing. You can assure me? Ok then do so, prove that statement. Poll 32 coaches (not anonymously) and produce me the results that shows 17 of them would take Matthew Stafford over Russell Wilson. Then you will “assure” me that statement is accurate and you will also…

Yep, because that’s the important part of the story.

Philly.com is now a pay site and the quality of writers is trash. Bodner and Kapadia are worth it for The Athletic.

Or maybe the pitching coach could learn enough Japanese “baseball language” to be able to communicate if it’s so easy? Or maybe having a translator helps actually speed up the mound visit and make sure everyone is on the same and nothing is lost. Fuck Remy and Mike Schmidt today.

Love this comment. I’m not even sure who you are even confusing Gordon “Heyward” (the guy on the Jazz spells it Hayward) with. Jason Heyward? (last name right but wrong sport), Brendan Haywood? (not there anymore), Gordon Giricek? (nope), Kyle Korver? (both white guys I guess).

Matt Barnes got 4 games for throwing a hard projectile 95 MPH at his freaking head, he’s got a point. Of course he shouldn’t after them with a bat but a baseball is weapon at that speed too. These pitchers are cowards.

Well there are plenty of people who lose their fathers and play football who don’t become murderers so I have a tough time blaming this on society. There is a conversation to be had about football and it’s negative consequences but I wouldn’t hold up Aaron Hernandez to make that point. Of course he could have…

No fuck having to try and come up with a reason or empathy why he did these awful things and ruined three (four counting his own) families just because he killed himself. He was a shitty person yesterday and he’s a dead shitty person today. Period. He had his chance, he ruined it and he only had himself to blame.

The death of his father affected him deeply? So deeply that he killed three other humans (who presumably were sons/brothers/fathers/uncles themselves) over a spilled drink and to cover up the first two killings. This wasn’t a downward spiral into drugs or depression from whatever he went through. The original comment…

Wow that’s a bad take. You don’t think DeAndre is worth what he is making? You understand value right. And you think these two professionals aren’t trying to get better?
