Hey, I’m just going to take a break from trolling this website (for being a shill for the merchandise and box office revenues of large movie studios that produce superhero comic book movies) to add this link: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/environment/an-taisce-urges-minister-to-intervene-over-rebranding-of-skellig-mi…

They wouldn’t have been debutantes last year (‘15-’16) since they were in the playoffs in 2014-2015 when they lost to Golden State in the first round.

I rolled my eyes at another Ali post, but I’m really glad I read this one. There’s a lot of people griping about the Liston fixing claims and not putting Ali on an imaginary short list. I think it’s clear we’re getting an emic perspective and we can take that with a grain of salt. Even still, those serve a particular…

How did glossing over that lionize Ali? Do you mean in an effort not to lionize Ali? This article seems much less hagiographic and rooted in the terms and perspectives of the boxing world than the articles which talk about how transcendent he was. I think this piece has a ton of nuance and there’s a lot of value in a…

Also, people focus too much on the “moving” part of “moving screens,” and think it’s about whether the screener was stationary or not when the contact comes, the same way the folk-refereeing of charges goes (which, also, aren’t reducible just to, “Was the defender moving his feet, or not?”). It’s an illegal screen…

I mean, how hazardous to your health is a haymaker/DDT combo, really?

There’s a lot of people confused, Kelly Ellis among them, over the legal definitions of “rape” and “sexual assault,” and why Gawker or the Washington Post calls this sexual assault and not rape. It’s fine to call him a rapist when you’re reacting to the story, interpreting or responding to your understanding of what…

This is fine analysis, but shouldn’t there be some mention of the fact that he grew up as a Celtic supporter in a place where Celtic/Rangers affiliation is an almost ethnic distinction? Like, it’s still a lateral move, at best, if not a step down, and it still is curious (it seems hard to make a mark and be seen as a…

I’m with you, but moving to Oakland is evem a douchebag tech move these days. Everything is lousy and Joe Lacob is the Sibyl of lousiness.

This is a poorly supported argument; it peddles commonsensical wisdom and disregards the particular history of any event or, in this case, the processes in place to evaluate that event; and it implies that other people who don’t subscribe to the faux common sense wisdom and illogical musings of the commenter is…

Yes, this was a total sidetrack from the original argument, so I was being lazy. But, honestly, it was between Wizards or the Sonics for the example of teams people don’t remember because their championships happened at retrospectively unfashionable times or were led by under-appreciated stars. Sure you can recall…

No and yes: No, the Warriors and their fans also remembered and were hyper-sensitive about people pointing that out all year. Yes, as years go by more and more people will forget that, but eventually they’ll forget the Warriors won at all. You hear things all the time about how being a champion gives you an undeniable…

Onthe second point, yes, people actually do remember and talk about the Cavaliers not being at full strength. That was a narrative the entire off season, not that it really matters. My point was that I don’t love this active desire for the team your team is playing to not be at full strength. It doesn’t usually have…

I don’t care if they care or not. It’s the active rooting for that I’m pointing out.

I don’t they should feel bad at all. And I do expect them to want to move on. The players have gone a long way to doing that already. Did Steven Adams return? Did he take two foul shots and did his team get the ball back? That seems a little unfair but not unreasonably unfair.

On the first point, the refs not seeing it was my point about Jones: by giving him a suspension they are essentially seeing and reviewing the play for the first time. While you’re absolutely correct that the league has the remit to review any flagrant foul call, the question was what other argument could you make that…

You could argue that the outcome of the game Dahntay Jones was in had already been decided, so was that much more gratuitously out of rhythm with a basketball game. Also, you could argue that Dahntay Jones was not penalized in-game and Green was, so the need to look back and suspend Green is less than Jones, who…

Oh, so now it’s ok to be a highlight truther?

I agree with the basic feeling of, like, not knowing what to make of his tenure, but among whom is it a perception that he was a failure in OKC? Certainly the point about it being an overall failure to not win a championship in that time, uh, rings true, but I was under the impression that the jury was still very much…
