Should probably instead consider how we accept a salary cap situation that gives neither of those two players any incentive to improve their free throw rates because they already make the maximum possible salary.

Your fault for misremembering what month José Fernández died, but not your fault for calling me a “vapid cunt” because you thought I’d misremembered and hadn’t checked your facts? Just checking—I wouldn’t want to misremember, since you deleted your original comment!

took some Deep Thought to get you there

This is certainly true. His moving Little Ceasar/Olympia Entertainment’s HQ to the Fox Theatre & renovating that old, huge ornate theater provided a positive anchor downtown (or near downtown, anyway) when the business district literally looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the late 1980s-late 2000s. He also…

Nice to see that he was given his due to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars while the city was bankrupt.

Usually, “That being said” is the part of a conversation where a person backtracks on what they previously said. You used “that being said” to double down on your statement.

It appears that Dolan has been lying for days now that Oakley was abusing people “the moment he entered the building”. It sounds as if MSG security has been harrassing Oakley every time he enters the building (if what Oakley claims, that they go so far as to follow him to the bathroom, is true), and Oakley reacts…

Scrolled down to say this.

I’m not saying Oak didn’t do anything to warrant getting tossed; in the video I saw, he got physical with security, and while they were in his face, I’m not sure if they’d already gotten physical with him. But the first question hanging over everything is: why did a whole bunch of people get in his face? Did he do…

The “I don’t even know him/her...” line is a standard dis by arrogant assholes; think how Donald Fucking Trump always says that about people when he’s trying to act superior. You can bet the Knicks had a lot of input composing those statements, and it was no mistake all those working stiffs “didn’t know” who Charles…

That’s a whole bunch of statements that basically seems to corroborate the idea that whatever Oakley did that might have merited getting him removed (if anything) didn’t start until he was already drawing attention from MSG security and supervisors for Being Charles Oakley In The Vicinity of James Dolan.

“Hey [star free agent], you should come play for the Knicks! Sure, we exist permanently in the purgatory between tanking and the No. 6 seed and, sure, the roster is a bizarre mix of very young and VERY old players, mostly the latter. But this is your chance to be a New York basketball legend! You too could one day…

Sounds like copy for the next Matthew McConaughey Lincoln Continental ad.

I’ll practice with you Ivo. Just let me get my cup and helmet.

You’d think somebody would at least write a fake name or something, like ‘Hulk Steelchest’ or ‘Largecock McBigballs’. If nothing else, just to end the monotony.

SEVENTH best!

I didn’t know Bill Walton had a Deadspin account.

No need to apologize for perfection my man.

smells like poetry to me

Great article. Thank you. I appreciate you reviewing the history of the treaty and its importance then and now.
