Players are still signing deals with deferred money.

Fraudsters could always get food, hide the mashed potatoes somewhere in their car, then turn around and kick up a storm about not getting mashed potatoes.

I know that 3s are all the rage these days (and I’m not even arguing against that as an overall strategy), but man oh man is it frustrating watching a team be down 3 or so points with a few minutes left and suddenly decide that chucking 3s is the only thing they can do.

That’s a lot of surrender cobras.

Maybe if they stopped running that curl play that gets a guard an open wild 20 foot two point jumper without getting his feet set first...

When you score 25% more points than anyone else in the league, you’re probably going to win MVP. Are you saying that he shouldn’t or that he won’t?

Harden’s got 2456 points this season.

This is why college hockey fans should ditch Hockey East for the ECAC. Sure, the best player in the conference got a two game suspension for kicking, but it wasn’t racially motivated.

The Stardrop Saloon from Stardew Valley. Really, I just want to live in Pelican Town.

So much for my yearly tradition of going back home to the NY area around Christmas and listening to WFAN callers froth at the mouth about how Odell is everything wrong with the Giants and if it’s not Odell it’s Eli and if it’s not Eli it’s offensive playcalling and if it’s not offensive playcalling it’s offensive…

I saw someone on the internet comment that he’s been a Phillies fan for 40 years, and he’s now renouncing the Phillies and finding another team to be a fan of, because Bryce Harper is just so poisonous that this person has to abandon their team.

To be absurdly pedantic, it’s kind of what an umpire does to signal that a player needs to return to a base after a review, like if something ruled a homer turns into a double.

I don’t know if the origin of the chop is itself mocking. Wikipedia suggests that the chop as a sports cheer started at Florida State in the 80s. It then got picked up by the Braves when they signed Deion Sanders, who played for Florida State.

It’s very very very much a stereotype. As mentioned in the article, it’s something assholes do at Native Americans to mock them.

If the Braves abandoned the chop chant, they’d have nothing else. It’s the only thing they play at their games. They do it about fifty times a game.

Want to speed games up? Add more foul territory. Make commercial breaks a little shorter.

I pointed this out in another thread, but paying someone so that you can have sexual contact (of some form or another) with a different person, one who likely has been trafficked to America under false pretenses and does not want to be doing what they are doing, is very close to some very large crimes.

A lawyer friend of mine points out that paying to have sex with women who thought they were coming to the US for real jobs and are stuck against their will isn't soliciting prostitution but conspiracy to kidnap and aggravated rape.

It’s amazing that this is my favorite movie given how much Max sucks.
