The main difference between the Lakers’ and Knicks’ respective self-regard is in past success. Yes, much of the Lakers “aura” involves being glamorous in Los Angeles, but they can also point to plenty of success over their history. Even if they were still the Minneapolis Lakers, their sheer volume of championships and…

Wrong! The Knicks have a different laughably bad front office.

Knicks [confused, pleading, sad]: “Is this one of those, ‘it’s not you, it’s me,’ things?”

Cool, nice chat.

I guess I disagree with your characterization of it being innocuous, but fine, have your joke. Don’t accuse me of “outrage” though, I never got mad. I pointed out that I thought your joke was in poor taste. Yes, I admit I was a hyperbolic on my initial response, I don’t think you actually consider…

No, I was using a normal person’s definition of best. But yes, by Trump’s definition of “best”, we are sending the absolutely most terrific people, just wonderful.

You can mock my response all you want, but your comment was shitty. You used an ongoing atrocity as a means to take a snarky shot at people you disagree with on the question of goal celebrations. 

I can’t say you’re wrong. We’re definitely sending our best to Florida. 

I actually didn’t have of an issue with any of the US players’ celebrations and I like Rapinoe a lot. I just found your joke to be in poor taste.

Other than producing Joe Biden, Delaware seems like a perfectly pleasant and harmless state so I don’t find this particularly offensive. Now, if he’d called me Frank from Florida...

So...the people who criticized the celebrations in the game against Thailand are now partially responsible for the kidnapping and caging of children? I guess that debate had to end up here eventually.

Wow. I had no idea about any of that. Sounds like great material for a 30 for 30 type documentary. 

We may never know the name of the city lawyer who wrote that use agreementback in 1995, but including a clause that the city could seek an injunction against even talking about a move, on the grounds that this would “result in irreparable harm and damages that are not readily calculable” was a genius move that…

Same here! I'll never be able to look at either logo again without thinking of this.

Oh I was totally making the “bust” claim from the team/fan perspective. For the players, it is somewhat relative. From a player perspective, “long-term serviceable backup QB” might be the best possible position to be in for your NFL career. Minimal beating and wear-and-tear on your brain and body, still make very good…

Yeah, I think I’d make that bet. 

The fact that the Jaguars whiffed on two top 10 QB picks in a span of four years needs to be mocked more than it currently is. This is especially true of Bortles, who went at 3rd overall and was picked way ahead of much better players at his position like Bridgewater (32nd overall), Carr (36th overall), and Garoppolo (…

For those of us who aren’t thrilled by the STEM-induced coma sports are currently stuck in, watching the weight of advanced analytics collapse onto itself, watching bloodless efficiency fail to deliver the promise of perfection, has been more than a twisted delight.

I think she was wrong for doing it, but I can understand where it comes from. She and her family are going through a crisis and some stranger giving advice like that could definitely cause her (or any of us in that situation) to go off on them. “Oh, like you know better, huh?” type of reaction and then spiraling from…

...being an asshole comes back to bite you sometimes.
