That’s not even a Hot Take. It’s just true.

I love Tim Duncan and am saddened at his retirement, so in the spirit of stirring up some shit for no reason: if you think Kobe Bryant was the best player of their generation, and not Timmy, you are a raving madman, wandering the desert shoveling peyote into his mouth, lost in the grip of his own feverish…

Dang, he reacted like he had tested positive instead of Jones. I don’t watch UFC or know anything about Daniel Cormier, but I feel for the guy. That sucks.

The argument that there is anything easy about winning an NBA title is what’s inane. The word “easy” diesn’t belong anywhere near it. Now matter how good a team is, it’s a tremendous fucking grind, as the Warriors proved this year. It’s fucking laughable that a bunch of sports fans whose only connection to the NBA is…

No. He’s just not allowed to choose to sign with a team that’s too good(because then he’s a coward). Or too bad(Doesn’t care about winning!). Or in too big a market(SOLD OUT TO NIKE!). Or too small(CAN’T TAKE PRESSURE?!?!?)

So a player seeing no potential to win a title with his current team should just accept that winning is for others and quietly finish his career in fucking Oklahoma?

This is Durant showing that he has completely bought into the gotta-have-a-ring mentality that dominates the current culture in sports, completely buying into the notion that if you don’t win a championship, you are nothing.

Lupica’s got some nerve ragging on Durant for joining the Warriors while simultaneously wearing Steph Curry’s sneakers.

Eh. I believe Pepe is the reason they are there. He wins so many balls. Hate the guy, but damn if he hasn’t taken over the entire defense.

It’s not funny anymore to me. I mean, yeah, it is, because the comments on these articles are always hilarious. But I’ve gone from Manziel fan (I’m an A&M alum) to Manziel apologist (“You’ll see! He’s not Ryan Leaf 2.0!”) to Manziel hater (“Okay, I was wrong. He’s an idiot.”). And now I’m firmly in the “worried…

I believe that the tears come a long time before the funeral.

My father died from colon cancer the year I graduated college. It was not sudden. We knew it was coming, slowly, for nearly 2 years. It seems crass to some people when I say we were relieved.

Lost my mom to early onset Dementia as well - absolutely terrible, I wouldn’t wish that hell on ANYONE. Thoughts are with her family...

Yeah my dad has it now. It’s awful to watch him slowly disappear. You feel so helpless and the sadness is overwhelming

My grandpa died of pneumonia after about 10 years of Alzheimer’s disease. It’s an awful, awful ordeal for a family to go through. It’s almost like your relative dies slowly and then a little bit more and more until they finally do die. When they do you have a weird mixture of relief for them and sadness at their…

Fuck, man. Can 2016 just stop with the tire fire?

Plumbing Fittings, Ranked By JR Smith:

Don’t debut it at the cookout. Invite your bro-in-law over sometime, cook it for him, see how he reacts. If he gushes over it, bring it next time. Next weekend, play it safe and bring the drinks.

Unless you know someone, or recognize a face from somewhere, “dropping in” on anyone’s cookout is pretty much a no go, I’d think.
