So now that tennis has been solved, what’s the next challenge for computers?

Aw, you ruined it.

“Nobody said no”

Some other kids are just annoying pissants.

Sports Baby Stare Down!

He forgot the ultimate dad rule, better to ask forgiveness than permission. 

But does he have a fracture, really?

I’ve been a Celts fan since about 1980, so I’m with you man. I did think it was interesting that on the ESPN radio pre-game there was a lot of talk about the Warriors wanting to “make a statement” with this game since the Celtics beat them earlier this season. I think the only statement that was made was by the…

You’re probably right. I’ll be interested to see what happens if these two teams do meet. I never would’ve given the Cavs a chance to upset the 73-win Warriors, but so much of a series comes down to specific lineups, specific matchups, specific adjustments. We’ll see! Or we won’t!

Congrats to Danny Ainge on breaking both Isaiah Thomas and Markelle Fultz’s careers.

Larry Bird is one of the best to ever play the game. Like, top five ever. What are you putting in your coffee and may I have some?
