It’s not the price tag—which may end up being a bargain—it’s that in four years they’ve changed their mind about having him on the team 3 times.

Better than getting all choked up on the Spreway

Yes, he is very wrong for not delivering a dissertation covering the breadth of the topic during this interview.

My god, the “famous person says something fundamentally supportive in an imperfect* way so let’s shit on him” genre has to die.

This is basically a Magary vid with a more appropriate shirt.

This is fucking fantastic.

I’m looking forward to a year from now when Waiters has gone back to his island of 34% 3 point shooting and hilarious antics, and you get to pen an article with, “I WAS RIGHT, I’M NO CORNCOB” as the headline.

Says the guy who was outraged at tennis reporters’ descriptions of a car accident

I just heard on a podcast by Mike Rowe that the thawing with the Soviets was all because Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Texas while on a diplomatic trip to the US and saw how many flavors of pudding pops we had over here. And Yeltsin made Gorbachev see that they were fucked because if even the poorest among us…

Please god let him wear number 4 just so he can adapt to the culture quickly.

What is wrong with benefiting players? It is their athletic talents and abilities that make the sport so popular, not owners.

No, it’s a refutation of the idea that a league must artificially produce parity in order to be popular and successful.

You continue to miss the point. The system in place fails at its own justification. BOTH the max contract and the salary cap contribute to a situation where less desirable destinations are unable to meaningfully distinguish themselves to players. Keeping either or both basically hamstrings teams like Utah from being…

Nothing stops the richest owners in MLB or the English Premier League or La Liga from doing that, and those sports are doing pretty okay. In any case, I’m not arguing that getting rid of the cap/max/draft (abolish all three!) would be some utopian solution. I’m simply observing that none of those three really deliver…

The same owners who locked out a league over wanting to pay players 51% of the revenue instead of 52% are not looking to spend a billion dollars on players. Pure profit calculations would prevent this, especially in a league which seems to be driven by accountants more than any of the other sports.

One doesn’t necessarily have to provide a solution when pointing out a problem. Every possible system is going to have pros and cons; there is no perfect system, and someone will get screwed every time. Pointing out how some teams get screwed by the current system doesn’t mean that one has to also propose a utopian…

Agreed; I don’t mind a salary cap (beyond its somewhat artificial nature and the inherent wage suppression, but those are matters that I know generate a lot of different viewpoints, even for people on the same side of the pro/con debate). But one defense that I honestly DGAF about is, “But what if this billionaire…

All of this, from the first video in which someone says “enjoy being Lebron’s little B word”, to the giddy excitement over fire, to columnists writing “players expect fans and franchises to give them darn near everything they’ve got”, is so very Book of Mormon lol 

TIL that everyone in Utah has the exact same fire pit.

There are dozens of us in Japan that love the Xbox One! DOZENS of us!!
