Chamberlain literally refused to sit. His numbers include overtime games, of which the Warriors had 7 (one of which was double overtime and another was triple overtime).

Its not a violation if he pays for it with his own money. The question is, where did he get the money? In a lot of instances, a likely high pick (or their family) gets fronted money by his agent against his initial contract. This is a violation, but its really hard to prove, particularly when the player’s parents…

Over at ESPN.com, Kevin Seifert estimated that Butts lost a lot more than $157,000:

I agree with Maycock that analysis should be front and center instead of gimmicks and your insight that the league is trying to make the Shield the true face of the NFL, rather than one of those hard-to-control things called “players”.

In the first picture, you know that Nugent is thinking to himself, “How can I get my classy wife to do a three-way with this slutty former Republican VP candidate?”

This is a horribly sexist observation, but my first thought when looking at the picture with Trump is “in a room with two rocker groupies, how does the former GOP VP candidate come off as the skankiest looking?”

Yet another horrific consequence of the Trump presidency: the bar has been set so low that any chin-less idiot thinks they have a viable shot to become President. And the evidence indicates they’re right.

Murder by hanging while imprisoned is kind of the perfect crime. Short of a witness willing to come forward (unlikely), I can’t imagine any evidence that couldn’t be equally explained away as suicide (and I’ve watched a lot of forensic crime shows on the TV, so, you know . . .)

As a Gunner’s fan AND a believer in the “Trump will end the America” idea, I’m experiencing extreme cognitive dissonance. How could such a hateful, tasteless person raise such an intelligent, refined son?

I think the “Trump voters/Tea Party true believers are all idiots” meme is wrong. I don’t think the InfoWars, Limbaugh, FauxNews, etc. consumers actually believe all the lies that flow out of those orifices. I think, instead, they are mostly just dicks.

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?
