They should be careful what they wish for moving in to SF. If they hit some bad years, they’ll find themselves in a city where 2/3 of the people are from somewhere else and can take or leave the local sports team. Reminds me of the end of the Sonics a bit where they just couldn’t keep up the interest and they made a…

Naw

The biggest disparity is in the screens that are getting called against the Blazers and not the Nuggets.  Pretty glaring difference.

That’s a perfectly cromulent sentence.

Why the league has never taken this approach with Green or CP before this is beyond me.

In which the national media once again temporarily notice Dame/Blazers, only to be ignoring/dismissing them by end of week.

Maaaaaybe.  Now let’s never talk about it again.

I feel like nobody west of Denver knows much about the Blazers, since our games go past midnight out there

I don’t really get it either. In theory the Pac12 should have a recruiting advantage from the western half of the country (geographically), including the Pacific islands. And the biggest state (population-wise) in California. We look like butt across major sports. In baseball we are alright if one considers college…

My family toured a bunch of national parks this summer, and they are clearly over capacity. I expect we’ll see rationing of access within 10 years.

Maybe you should start a “500 Days of Ryan and Olivia” thread and keep it going day after day, way too long, until we’re all bored and then angry, and you look creepy as shit because why the hell do you even care any more?

It’s the hottest take. Let’s reduce the league to two or three competitive franchises in the wealthiest markets and hope that the other 90% of the country will keep showing up to watch to the dogcrap leftovers.

Thanks for referring to it as the Rose Garden by the way. Much respect.

Kind of sums up the cynical slog that the Warriors (and thus the NBA) have become. They’re all as bored with the perfunctory wins of their superteam as we are.

I guess it’s ironic to be saying this at Deadspin, but sports are not important enough to justify any of this drama. I would tell all of these people to “get a fucking hobby” except that sports *are* the hobby.

Great work here Gawker... erm, Kotaku. Really great job doxing some rando and ruining her life.

Don’t have a lot of hope for how/when this guy’s story is going to end.
