That guy looks exactly like me playing soccer. Against my daughter’s U8 team.

Donald Trump now has exactly two accomplishments over his first 9+ months in office: (1) Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to USSC and (2) ending our long national nightmare over the fate of Liangelo Ball.

About 10 years ago, aged, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, bigoted religious-fuck Pat Robertson claimed he leg pressed 2,000 lbs (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-pat-robertson-leg-press-2000-lbs/). Turns out, he did not.

Well, the teams are lining up perfectly: on the one side is Donald Trump, the Ball family, and entitlement run amok and on the other side is the last bastion of ethical responsibility, the People’s Republic of China. Yes, this should play out nicely.

I hate the “he never won a championship” argument against a player’s HOF candidacy, particularly in baseball. Although it will never happen, a player can be perfect in baseball: he can hit a home run in every at bat and field his position flawlessly (and with range). But because baseball is a two part game…

Here’s the deal, my brothers in the entertainment industry: there is a moment going on right now whether you like it or not, so think ahead a little so you don’t come off as anymore of a self-absorbed, stupid asshole than you probably are. The questions, fair or not, are coming. Be prepared to respond in a way that…

As a Niner fan, this was the worst possible outcome.

You kind have to assume that most of the owners of professional sports teams are good at making money (or keeping money they inherited). That’s not nothing.

Man: Goodell, Jones, King, the NFL’s entire ownership and administration structure. There are literally no good guys in this conflict to even ironically root for.

Isn’t Mindaugas Kuzminskas a character from Harry Potter?

So I am confused by the Allison Mack/DOS story. Does it begin with willing submissives who voluntarily give up blackmail-able information, or are they tricked into giving up that info and then find themselves involuntarily participating and recruiting?

You know the “Magical Negro” trope in movies? Jimmer Fredette is that character for midwestern, white basketball fans.

LaVar will spin this as keeping all this in the family. LiAngelo will just be making Lonzo’s shoes in a Chinese work camp.

I remember a long time ago that SI or Sporting News had an article that showed that teams that played Monday night had a worse record in the game following than they would have be expected to playing a “normal” schedule. I believe they even suggested that there was at least an increase in injuries in games following…

That’s amazing and those kids Maple Grove will win every “Well, once when I was in high school . . .” contests at future cocktail parties.

Not to be a dick, but I think that’s on you.

I am not a supertaster, but I fucking hate IPAs. My hatred is a combination of my feeling that the brew is too hoppy (I really like hearty brown and Scotch ales, porters, and stouts) and my rage that every fucking beer on the shelf that isn’t shitty Budweiser is a fucking IPA. “Hey, Don; I read that millennials like…

Christianity.

There is a lot of context missing here. Admittedly, I haven’t followed this situation closely since it happened, but I hadn’t heard that Mirotic was a cancer or shitty teammate before this happened. Mirotic seemed like a better than average NBA player entering his 4th season, while Portis was pretty bad in his first…

God, I would so love for Pitino to get taken down for this and for that to be the straw that breaks the NCAA camel’s back. But the NCAA and each of its member institutions have so many firewalls baked into the system, I know that the odds of Pitino being penalized beyond his recent firing are exceedingly tiny and…
