Of course the money makes no sense, but in the context of the NFL it does. The Niners weren’t as bad as their record indicated when he took over (they had an incredibly bad run of 5 straight games they lost by a field goal or less), but they were still pretty dog-butt with very little to brag about offensively. It…

7 starts, 7-0. At that rate, this is a bargain at twice that price. Assuming he’s got 8 good years in him and he doesn’t suffer an injury, that’s 8 consecutive 16-0 seasons and 8 Super Bowl titles. Totally worth it.

Its because its an 18 foot step back jumper that started about 4 feet from the basket. Giannis has long legs.

I like how she rocked the jeans jacket. Philly girl in the hizzy!

So, given good behavior, he might only serve 100 years total? Seems light . . .

That is a heart-breaking story; thanks for sharing it.

Just to reiterate: this was a 32 point home loss to a Rockets team whose best player went 5-16 and scored half his season average. I honestly can’t see this Cavs team getting out of the second round.

Once you’ve made an appearance on behalf of a client, you cannot withdraw as counsel of record without the client’s and the court’s permission. So Gates’s original 3 lawyers made their filing with Gates’s permission.

I think you’re basically 95% right, but I also think there is a component of their thinking that destruction of the DOJ’s autonomy works to their agenda’s benefit. If the DOJ is required to swear fealty to the President and the Republicans can count on winning the Presidency into the foreseeable future (which may be…

I have to believe Lebron is going to be waaaaay more interested in tacking on 3 or 4 more championships on to his resume than getting a max deal. He won’t give the Cavs any more hometown sweetheart deals and unless a team (OKC, Lakers, ?) can show him a superstar lineup that is better than the Warriors, he will want…

Yeah, I absolutely don’t understand how you make the financial decision to go from Kirk Cousins (limitations included) to Alex Smith (far, far more limitation included) to save $4M. In today’s NFL. Smith is due for a huge regression to mean, and his mean wasn’t as high as Cousins’s to begin with.

The Vikings are kind of screwed here. While I agree with you that Keenum is much more likely a potential Matt Cassel/Matt Flynn than Tom Brady 2.0 and that, at the most, the jury should still be out on Bridgewater, is the reality of Kirk Cousins (and the associated cost) greater than the potential of healthy Sam…

I’ve got to believe that the Cardinals and the Bills have the most incentive to do this. Neither is going to end up in Darnold/Rosen range, so they’re left with possibly getting to gambles like Mayfield or Allen; even those two may be off the board by the time the Cards and Bills pick. Cousins is what Cousins is, but…

Basically, the NBA has become the Premier League, without the risk of relegation. Five or six teams realistically competing, the rest tanking for a multi-year franchise reset (see: Clippers, L.A.)

I think you’re probably right, and that’s the most depressing thing I can imagine (I’m not even a Clippers fan). It means the NBA is going to become like the Premier League: every year, 5 or 6 teams are playing for the championship, while the rest are just happy to be here. Only, without relegation to the G-League or…

Honest to God: what is the strategy here? I know Griffin is half the player he used to be, but he’s still twice the player Harris and Bradley combined have ever been. Next they’re going to dump Jordan and Sweet Lou* for youth, but if the Griffin trade is any indication “youth” means “attractive salaries we can dump”.…

What the fuck? Did anyone have this in the office pool?

I am not an MSU fan in any way and generally think most major college sports head coaches are borderline assholes without whom the world would be better off. But I’m going to take Izzo’s and D’Antonio’s side here, at least a little bit.

Between you and me, yes, my kids have been (and occasionally continue to be, even though they are all legally “adults”) annoying as fuck.

I don’t care where you stand on Brady personally, but calling a 5-year old names is classic “I-want-this-to-be-about-me” sports/entertainment “interviewer” assholery. Its Jim Rome calling Jim Everett “Chrissy”. Why even go on the air with self-inflated asshats like this?
