Ah yes, it was one of the best receivers in the league’s fault that the Lions are a dumpster fire. Solid take.

Re: Everyone saying “People watch this show?!” About six million or so do. Get outside your bubble folks, just because it’s not in your zeitgeist doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or isn’t popular to people unlike you :)

The story of Aladdin comes from 1001 Arabian nights. And that work is actually a collection of stories from throughout the middle east and India. The Aladdin story wasn’t even an original part of the 1001 Arabian nights. It was added by a French author in the 1800s. It’s no more authentically Arab than The Jungle…

You just *know* that the studio really wants a white guy. And that all this “we can’t find a guy after 2000 auditions” is just cover for when they announce that Aladdin will be played by Hugh Jackman.

Why are you casting an Indian to play an Arab role? Completely different people, customs, cultures, languages, religions....hypocrisy much?

I bow to your superior knowledge, but I would point out that he managed to make a open 3 foot layup look slow and awkward.

That would rule!

That’s the type of dynamic thinking that could make you coach of the Kings.

Guess what? He’s overrated. It’s not a coincidence that the man who has coached arguably the most talent in NBA history is considered the best coach of all time. More often than not in the NBA, the player makes the coach look good, not vice versa. D’Antoni was a washed up journeyman head coach before he managed to…

Mark my words, Rockets are no better than they were last year.

Well, there goes the Clippers’ Rockets’ run of being somewhat slightly kind of sort of but ultimately not really relevant.

Jesus you guys. The Clippers had two options. Let Paul leave for nothing. Or trade him for something. Paul was only going to opt in to his contract if a trade was in place! They had two options. A bad one and a very bad one.

There goes the Blazers’ chances of knocking off a higher seed in the first round.

I’m sure Bill Simmons is there. Expect a lengthy dissertation tomorrow about how the overly confident and not-well-liked demeanor of the Ball family relates to the Red Sox in the 2000s, the Pats in the 2000s and 2010s, the Celtics in the 1980s, the Bruins in 1990s, and the Miz when he was on the Real World. And let’s…

I think they’re doing a better job with concussions now, or at least with their diagnosis and treatment for them. There are still way too many high spots for concussions to be mitigated to any real degree.

I believe, fully and completely, that the Benoit killings destroyed the chance for WWE to have another true boom period. The company might make money and Wrestlemania might still sell out, but Benoit inflicted a fatal wound to the business that might not have a cure.

My team traded everyone’s favorite superstar for an unproven 2nd year player, a torn ACL, a 7 ft finnish guy that can’t play defense, and $3.5 million in cash.

Yes.

better than Deron Williams who makes me think “Grave of the Fireflies”

For the Hawks, it’s addition by subtraction. Although one doesn’t need to point out that Dwight is “unhappy.” Has he ever been happy anywhere at any time?
