Let’s not let the lives of children behind trafficked (a non-insignificant number, I’m assured) outweigh the freedom of those to sell sex for money (a totally neutral moral proposition). Great stuff.

That dog is the real MVP.

Can we PLEASE get a zoomed-in screenshot of that cockerspaniel in that pink puffy jacket? That’s the real story here!

10/10 going to use that in future pieces. Thanks.

Even on the Are course yesterday, not known as one of the steepest downhills, the racers went from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) within moments. Hitting 130 kph (80 mph) isn’t uncommon.

You hate The Simpsons that much?

‘Neal returned to the ice before Biega’s four-minute penalty was over, but that wasn’t because of the typical heralded toughness from hockey guys.”

Goaltending? It was a travel dumbass

Can't wait for this whole thing to be over so you guys can stop being mad Davis didn't traded to Lakers.

Petty? Your take is petty. They didn't allow the Lakers to bully them in to taking a bunch of trash and that's petty? I don't get it. 

So Rich Paul told the league, and now his client has to risk injury every game, on a team going nowhere, in a situation where the team would prefer him not playing, and that’s somehow a win for Paul?

Or Rich Paul created this situation in the first place? The Pelicans can tank, improve their draft position, and protect their most valuable (and oft injured) superstar for the summer. They are making the best of a situation Rich Paul put them in.

It’s sort of weird that none of them seem willing to admit that it’s reasonable to think the Lakers offer sucked. I mean, we all just watched all those guys play without LeBron for a month and they were not that great.

Yeah, reported by Brian Windhorst who is a mouthpiece for Lebron James in propaganda meant to remove the stink from Lebron James.

Give him what he wants. Play AD 48 minutes a game, every game for the rest of this year and every single game next year. Now that would be petty instead of what they are doing, which isn’t petty but for some reason deadspin writers all think is petty.

Didn’t you hear?  Not giving Lebron James exactly what he wants, when he wants it, is petty.

They should just claim load management. 

Anthony Davis wants to breach a contract with 1.5 years remaining on it. That’s his perogative. I don’t blame him for wanting to play elsewhere. But if he’s going to go down this road, he isn’t absolved from consequences. It’s absurd to contend that the Pelicans should try to do right by him at the expense of their…

I’m with Van Gundy. Absurd that NO is forced to play him when he Does. Not. Want. To. Be. There. And under threat of a way worse fine than he got for publicly demanding a trade.
