Being charge with intent to distribute doesn’t mean you intended to distribute. It just means you had a lot of weed on you. I’m not saying Randolph definitely WASN’T trying to turn a profit, but pose yourself the following problem:

It’s cool to see an older player still developing his game this late in his career. The Kings knew they were signing a great rebounder and post scorer, but now they’re getting a distributor too.

that would require him to last until the season premiere which is still six weeks away

Although unless they killed and ate all the ravens, Bran could just warg into one and give it the needed instructions.

The Wall currently has no maester, and the maesters are the ones who send the ravens. I’m guessing messages need to be be conveyed to/from the Wall the old fashioned way?

The character is the whole thing. If you named a team the Frederick Douglasses and had a black sambo for a mascot there really is nothing redeeming in the origin of the team name.

No, Stephen King.

No need to get all red in the face, at least they relocated the family.

That’s interesting, because when the Indians come to town, I wonder why my kids (who are of American Indian ancestry) have to be subjected to a team wearing racist caricature on their hats all game.

Racism? At an Indians game?

“This time, don’t be afraid to lean into it.”

Yea, I don’t know if there’s a precise way to value “Scores 35 one night, shoots 4 for 9 the next night, busts ass off the ball on offense and plays great defense both nights. Seems content with this.” But it’s clearly worth a lot to the Warriors right now.

We will never know how great he is until he’s not on the Warriors. Honestly that’s true (to a much lesser extent) about all of their players. Not saying Steph isn’t one of the best players in the league (he is), but it’s kinda hard to tell where he falls in the rankings when this team is just the perfect spot for his…

Thompson’s not only the better shooter and perimeter defender, he’s also a lot less concerned with being The Guy than George seems to be. His personality is a big part of what makes Golden State’s system work. Obviously, they were right not to trade him for Love, and they’re right not to trade him for George either.

I’d argue that the Lannisters aren’t the Trumps though. The Lannisters are the Republicans as a whole. The analogy for the Republicans creating the Tea Party as a tool but having it ultimately backfire as it brought Trump to power is perfect for them. 

In America, we use words like “grit” to describe players who are willing to get dirty and like “captain” for those who will do anything for their teammates.

You’re misunderstanding the argument, I think. It’s not that they would be able to pay more than those teams—maybe they wouldn’t. It’s that they have to pay more than those teams, under any circumstances, in order to make up for Utah being a less desirable location for someone who can make a lot more money on…

Utah: Imagine Buffalo...now take away most of the alcohol.

As a Wizards fan, I know exactly how you feel.

After what we endured with this team for like 15 years, coupled with the fact that LeBron exists, I’m somewhat happy with 50+ win seasons with no chance of real playoff success.
