remember a couple weeks ago, when everyone was all over Trevor Noah, not b/c his tweets were offensive, but b/c they were both offensive and desperately unfunny? this is exactly like that.

You wouldn’t do both b/c you CAN’T. To take a video of the show requires you to watch through the screen - ok for maybe 10 seconds, but many people record the whole show, and thus watch the whole thing through a screen. Which, if that’s what they want to do, whatever, but it sucks to try to enjoy a show when there are…

lol, it’s unthinkably lame:

way to shoehorn that rape joke in!

doh, misread the initial post

Mavericks had a notably easy schedule before the Rondo trade. I think that plays a relatively large part in their post-trade record as compared to pre-trade. Not that Rondo has played well, because he hasn’t.

yeah, I wasn’t sure which way you meant it so I tried not to put words in your mouth or anything in my post. I just felt like rhapsodizing b/c that whole thing really pissed me off.

I mean, that’s really the only reason it’s a big deal. We all make mistakes, and it’s a fact that people of all races have more trouble identifying people of other races (though it’s particularly a problem when you only ever interact with people of your own race, which most white Americans do). The problem is that…

I think maybe b/c people be confused about its meaning? I mean, if it’s a reference to the Greg Anthony situation, that’s awesome. If it’s a reference to Greg Howard, that just seems racist.

it's a reference to this, which is long but certainly worth the read: http://gawker.com/on-smarm-14765…

I know you can’t install adblock at work probably, but if you can just do it. A couple months ago I felt guilty for using it on a site I read & love as much as Deadspin and disabled it here. Whoops - re-enabled within two days. Totally intrusive & annoying advertising.

Wholly appropriate comments. I love Deadspin and bullshit like the "apostrophe" comment on this article is tired and pointless, but it's really fucking rich for Deadspin to make this a story considering the Greg Anthony thing was, what, a month ago?

not to mention the fact that his team got a whole lot better during that 2 week break as well, which also will obviously have an impact on both his performance and his effort.

yes, huge shocker that someone could come back healthier & energized from a period of rest and rehabilitation. I don’t know or care whether he’s on HGH, but this Simmons-lite speculation is frankly dumb.

I don’t know (or frankly care) whether Lebron has been using HGH, but I’m calling utter bullshit on the “open secret” thing. Speculation by media based on Lebron’s body type & the fact he came back healthier from a two week rest (shocker) does not make it an open secret. Unless you’re prepared to provide any proof at…

yeah, no one, except Bill Simmons on like every podcast he does

nice troll job w/ the Bron pic

It's so cynical, too, that they chose the V Foundation. Like, they're already swindling runners who think their cost of entry is going in part to charity, but they also chose like the highest-name recognition charity (particularly a college hoops hotbed like NC) they could possibly think of to attract the most…

fyi there’s an edit button in the top right if you catch it in the first several minutes after you post

...? The publicity ain’t free if you had to give away hundreds of dollars worth of food for it
