Wonder if they’ll fire these two hosts as well....I mean, gotta stay consistent, right?

Boobie Miles III putting up big yards for Coach Briles, all while Buzz Bissinger gets publicly flogged in the stands.

This feels like a story arc from Friday Night Lights

Tencent also gets one of about a dozen votes for NBA Finals MVP for some fucking reason.

There can be no ethical consumption under Capitalism

I agree with you (and Scocca) and I think it’s important to continue hammering the point that the NBA absolutely can and should pull out of China. But I also think it’s instructive to understand why it likely won’t: Because Silver, for all that he poses himself as the benign neoliberal CEO of the league, is actually…

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves. The NBA is obviously the best professional basketball league in the world, and by an enormous margin. Silver has real leverage because he has a monopoly on the product…

I’m totally down with Salty on this one. I’ve adopted a three strikes rule with new restaurants and it’s served me well.  I’ve been to places where the first time was awful, second was OK, third was great.  That one made it into the rotation.  There was another instance where are three were bad.  We do not speak of…

They most certainly have that right.

I’m 100% sure that this headline will happen: “Watch Zion Dunk The Dick Off A Basketball”.

At this rate, the only thing that can stop Zion is a pro-Hong Kong tweet!

I fully expect multiple Deadspin headlines this year that feature some combination of the words “Zion” “slam” and “to hell.”

Another great thing to give to charities is actual money. The cost involved in physically processing, storing, and distributing all those donated toiletries is kinda expensive.

This is a good idea. Another thing you can do is save them and use them on your next trip. More hotel chains are doing away with the individual bottles to reduce plastic use and switching to dispensers. Now we sit back and wait for the stories about some pervert getting arrested for “topping off” the bottles.

She should be nominated for a Nobel prize in Physics on account of discovering anti gravitational waves... either that or she has invisible wings...
