At the dick doctor it's the opposite, like, "Here we're going to tell you everything in great detail because you have a man-brain and can understand everything and if something goes wrong with your junk IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD and also maybe you can even teach us some ways to improve this medical procedure."

I'm with you. The headline is technically right, but really what just happened is the Cavs traded a first-rounder and Waiters for Mozgov, Shumpert, and Smith. At the same time they fill three glaring needs: a rim protector, a wing defender, a second-unit scorer/deeper bench. Seems worth it to me. What's the…

Wow. I should have looked him up before saying his name. But as far as individual stats are indicative of a player's defensive impact, here are Jimmy Butler's, which also clearly show him letting most of his opponents shoot a higher percentage than usual. He also gives up a league average PER to shooting guards, a…

"How can that possibly be squared with him ripping Scott to shreds for making a hip-hop reference on Monday Night Football?"

So essentially because he didn't like *everything* Scott said or did then that means he doesn't like or respect what he did as a whole? Maybe you should also read the parts in his piece where he says he likes what Scott does overall (he opens and closes with that proclamation, by the way).

I'm with Dan Savage. Common sense, really. It only turns into a big discussion when people project all kinds of crap on maintenance sex which is neither abusive nor non-consensual because that's not what we're talking about here. It's not about anyone being forced into sex. It's kinda like how you pretend to be more…

"My diagnosis: a rather hideous jumper ... CAUSED BY BAD BABYSITTING."

My internet sarcasm detector is broken; this is a joke, yes?

Or maybe it means that he's the best player in the league, and knows that his coaches trust him enough to take over when necessary without asking "hey coach, am I allowed to take over at PG now?" Not exactly as full of fire and brimstone as your analysis, but I'd say it's a little more likely.

Am I crazy, or should "passed" actually be "past"? I mean, to me this means they got LeBron's quote via text or something. That weird word usage made the sentence pretty unintelligible for a moment there.

Passed*

How is it juicy though? Lebron is so obviously past having to request permission to play point guard. It's not like Matt Barnes or Aaron Brooks said this.

"I'm passed those days where I have to ask."

It's a good thing my monitor is made of Pyrex. It wouldn't have survived this scorching hot take otherwise.

Jordan always moved in lockstep with Phil Jackson and Jerry Krause. LeBron is just too uncontrollable.

Of course it was Carmelo keeping him from throwing another punch. God forbid somebody else take a shot, for once.

That was kind of my point - that the Immaculate Conception is the one that has to do with Jesus being born without sin, whereas the virginity thing has to do with Jesus' divinity, not with his sinless nature. I mean, you're not going to be baking your Jesus cookies without having both ingredients on hand, but that…

I've done some more research and it seems you're right about that, but the Immaculate Conception does not concern the births of both Mary and Jesus.
