I don’t care if you were Fab Five, I hold bats on podcasts

If you read this article as anything other than sympathetic to Simmons for getting royally fucked over by ESPN, I think you’re bringing your own biases to it rather than spotting ours.

Mr. Howard, I know it must have been hard to turn down the potential dollars, but congratulations on keeping your soul.

Whitlock thinks he’s Ta-Nehisi Coates’ intellectual equal. The shit is hilarious.

No one gives a fuck what you do or don’t consider scandalous.

This is great journalism Greg, you should be incredibly proud. Well done.

You are very good at your job.

In fact... what has Eddie Murphy done since the FIRST Beverly Hills Cop that was any good.
