Gronk, is that you?

“We certainly understand the sensitivities of the logo, those who find it insensitive and also those fans who have a longstanding attachment to its place in the history of the team,” he said.

There has got to be more to this story. The guy has to have said something absolutely assholic.

While I think the general idea of the triple-double is kind of overrated, I don’t think what Westbrook has done this season is in any way a “gimmick”. It’s a lot like what Chamberlain did when he averaged 50 ppg in 1962: while it means he had the ball in his hands all the time and was obviously going for the stats,…

I watched the game with a friend who has almost zero basketball knowledge (he was in the money in a work pool by pure luck). I had to keep apologizing for this game; it was extremely poorly played. The refs didn’t help, but the teams played like shit.

Its even more than that: if you step out of bounds, then come fully back inbounds, someone else has to touch the ball before you touch it.

In addition to saddling the public with a huge debt payment, the 1995 deal also fucked up a perfectly good baseball stadium for the A’s. One of many reasons the A’s are constantly trying to move to Fremont, or Santa Clara, or San Jose, or [insert city just stupid enough to think “major league” status requires a major…

“The unintentional consequences would have been surpassed in cruelty and destruction only by the intentional ones.”

What the fuck did we do to Montana? For that matter, who the fuck is Montana?

Are Brazilians not Latinos?

Not a fan of the inept Ginger Hammer, but file this under “Doing the Right Thing For the Wrong Reasons.” Oakland needs to be saved from itself on the Raiders issue. Goodell’s “football fans exist solely for us to exploit” mentality ends up working to help the city overcome its own worst instincts.

Sadly, I think you’re wrong. The City and the County are like a battered wife in this scenario: they really, reallllly believe the Raiders can change if only they love them enough.

It’s well-known that Bautista, while going to Andover and Yale, used $100 bills as napkins. Trumbo, on the other hand, still works a graveyard shift twice a week at the local factory “just to keep myself real”. Its on the Internet, so you know its true.

I hate to quibble over writing errors, but the statement “The entire Bearcats starting backcourt stands over 6-foot-3" is awkward. They start two guards, one 6'3" and one 6'4", and a 6'6" wing. That’s just 3 guys. That’s like saying “Among alleged billionaires, Donald Trump is the best President ever”; while true,…

Why is this news? Hasn’t that chicken been embroiled in a long-running, well-publicized and documented beef with a famous television celebrity?

The only thing better than a pint of actual Guinness on (nitro) tap, whilst sitting at a nice bar, would a pint of actual Guinness on (nitro) tap with a Jameson’s, neat, whilst sitting at a nice bar.

My family is Catholic because of my mom; my dad was a stone-cold, rational atheist. When my brother was young, there was no NJB or AAU in our area; the only organized youth basketball outside of high school were the Mormons. My dad had played Division I basketball for 4 years, AAU until his late 30s (back when that…

No. Calipari reaps enormous personal benefit from the free labor of 13 - 15 young men. Because he is “honest” about his program, he gets out of even the facade of pretending to provide those young men with a college education in exchange for their labor. Sure, he puts more young men into the NBA than almost any…

Just more evidence supporting Kim Mulkey. Bliss was hired by Southwestern Christian University; obviously he’s a good man. 

You know how all semi-intelligent people realized long ago that all those publicly pious politicians were presumably full of shit?
