Is there some available coach out there who has a secret plan for making James less good at basketball?

Major League is the greatest baseball movie ever made and I will physically fight anyone who says otherwise.

I don’t agree. At those angles and those speeds, how can a defender put himself in a position to make a tackle (or force the QB to need to slide) and avoid opening himself to that exact penalty? I’m not someone who longs for the old days. I’m just pointing out there is an inherent problem with that play. It’s a no-win…

Apparently they also did it without playing the Dodgers 21 times in a row.

THIS is what I’ve been screaming every since they announced the “partnership” with the city to renovate the arena. Why should the city invest in Gilbert when he hasn’t lived up to his own financial commitment to the city? Build the fucking new casino you promised, then we’ll talk Dan.

My general feeling as a native Clevelander is that public sentiment is not behind spending the money on the renovations. Quicken Loans arena is a perfectly fine venue for the Cavs. The neighborhood around it is nice. And Dan Gilbert has plenty of fucking money to pay for his own renovations. The city of Cleveland…

They really should make him build the riverfront casino the city was promised before they give him anything.That one they have downtown in an abandoned department store is garbage.

The luck part is more about the organization resigning a good player in 2012 for pennies, who no one thought would be great, let alone a 2 time NBA MVP, and that in turn creating room for the team to bring in other assets (Iggy, Bogut, etc). Was there anyone who in 2012 who thought Steph was going to be MVP?

“the current five-year, $26 million extension he signed in spring training now looks especially smart for Cleveland”

I’ve done Murph a couple times (no vest), and I think my best time ever was around 55 minutes. For comparison, I can run a mile in 5:30, two miles at 13:00 without feeling particularly winded, rock climb regularly at V4s pushing to V5s, and oh yeah, I played in the fucking NFL.

Yes, actually. The missle was fired nearly straight upwards. Maybe 10° off vertical to compensate for the rotation of the earth and to hit its target.

Shut the fuck up.

In a small way you’re right. Most companies that do it have a dedicated department where the sole job of the people in it is to do that, and most probably focus on customers even more than they do competitors.

Smart people are questioned by idiots every minute of every day.

Just to be clear, you’ve decided that Uber’s business practices - including not paying their “employees” a living wage, being indifferent to ensuring drivers aren’t likely to assault their passengers, among many other unsavory corporate behavior - are A-OK

Last night I was out drinking at a bar with a couple of friends, and one of them doesn’t own a car. As we were getting up from our table, I saw him whip his phone out and request an uber back to his place.

“This person doesn’t agree with me therefore they must be the enemy.”

Except it’s not “creepy” to a rational human being, and it’s hypocritical to single it out when it is accepted from everyone else whom you don’t have an axe to grind with.

As a long time Jalopnik consumer I feel I have a responsibility to let them know when they suck.

Except this isn’t self inflicted anything. They’ve fetishized bitching about Uber even when it does nothing that stands out. Encouraging employees to report non-confidential information about competitors is pretty basic business practice.
