I see this.

Sounds like enough to drive a coach to drink!

I think it’s at least fair to argue whether there is a qualitative difference between protesting during the anthem when playing for your club team and protesting during the anthem while playing for your national team.

Pretty funny that for all the talk of the Warriors’ style of play being how the game should be played, and that plodding, grinding, iso-ball is bad for the game...they got beaten by a team playing iso-ball.

only committing to him for six weeks?

Coincidentally, I always thought Ross Douthat was at least 80 years old because of how he writes and because he thinks women don't enjoy sex. Then I find out he’s younger than I am. He’s a millennial. He is the oldest 30-something person ever.

You realize this is a no-win situation for Portland, right? Think of it. If the Blazers lose, we’ll say that they couldn’t beat a Clipper team that didn’t have their stars. If the Blazers win, we’ll say that they didn’t beat a Clipper team that had all of their stars.

DeAndre Jordan: I think it’s safe to say that both of you are going to be terribly missed.

Aminu was quite the character at Wake Forest. The first time I met him it was the summer before his freshman year, and a girl had called me (the RA on duty) at around 3 am because she was locked out of her room. When I got up to the top floor, two girls were standing at the door and Farouq and another basketball…

Because Cleveland is already the Jewel of the Midwest. Our city is so much better than virtually all others in this great country, it would be an embarrassment of riches for Cleveland to enjoy successful sports seasons, too.

As a Portland fan, I was actually looking forward to this season, not because I thought the team would contend for anything other than a top 3 lottery pick, but because I was so glad to see them moving beyond their identity last year, which was basically Lillard + Aldridge scoring about 55-60 points per game and then…

DL just seems so damn calm when he’s roasting teams. But it’s that “furious calm,” like SS2 Gohan vs. perfect Cell. It’s like he’s doing mindfulness meditation, but the only thing in his brain is “fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.”

I think Lillard goes 2. I don’t think you will ever win an NBA championship if Drummond (and certainly not if Draymond) is your best player. I think a team cobbled together properly could win it all with Lillard as the lead man. Dude is cold blooded

And spec-for-spec the Colorado is only about $500 cheaper than a Silverado. No thanks, @Cam_Cam.

“Please don’t let this investigative series turn out to be contemplation about the nature of truth.”—Mike Pesca, on Season 1.

Years ago, I was a pretty devoted TAL listener. There were some pretty touching and thought-provoking pieces. But you know, what ended up getting to me eventually was Ira Glass’s halting monotone delivery. I think it was this white noise that made (makes?) the show the “snuggie for the snobbish.” Even more annoying to…

I like the one about the teenagers who are making out in the car and they hear on the radio about how a killer has escaped from prison with hooks for hands and so they get scared and drive off and when they get home they find a hook hanging from the car door.
