I largely agree with you, but what’s the error rate for the machines? The umps do a really good job, and are very rarely this wrong, but if you can use a machine to be 100% accurate and 100% consistent then it’s just stupid to keep on putting guys out there who will (however rarely) cost a team a game because of an…

But the Spurs were amazingly lucky to start their run! They drafted Duncan because David Robinson was hurt just long enough for the team to fall apart and land the #1 pick, but not long enough to prevent him from helping TD win championships. And every title they won from then on was backboned by TD, a player they…

Phenomenal user name good sir.

I had never heard of preserved lemons until just now. Google is definitely my friend at the moment :)

Aside from the names of the characters, species, and starship, nothing about the reboot even qualifies as a Star Trek movie. It’s like claiming that Robert Downey Jr. is the definitive Sherlock Holmes. Nothing about either of those reboots bears even a passing resemblance to the source material. You can say it’s your…

See, this is exactly why I don’t dance. People are all “nobody cares, just go out and have a good time!”, but stuff like this proves we’re all a bunch of judgmental a-holes just waiting for a chance to mock someone for not looking like Jason Derulo on the dance floor. I’ll just watch everyone else have a good time,…

If I’m buying 4th of July snacks I want to get 100% of the snacks, not just 15% of them. That sounds like a terrible deal.

I found it helps to learn how the triangle works in soccer first:

Oh man, the late night grocery shopping is the best! I’ll frequently see a movie on Friday/Saturday night and then go to the 24 hour store afterwards (at like midnight/12:30). Being one of two or three shoppers in the whole store is like being upgraded to first class on every flight. It’s magical.

The idiots that write for kinja apparently ;)

That’s like 70% of the reason I try to hold out until 2:00. The other 30% is the simple fact that by the time I finish lunch and get back to my office between 2:30-3:00 I’ve only got another few hours until it’s time to go home. In the morning and early afternoon I can suffer a few hunger pangs because I’ve got…

“Westbrook channels his in a way that makes his team less effective for his presence.”

Yup, he’s so bad for the team that despite the fact OKC lost the second best player in the game they only lost 8 more games this year than last (47 wins vs. 55). The argument that he’s not a winner or a bad team player doesn’t make sense given the number of games his teams constantly win (50-55-47-60-59-45-55-47). I’d…

“But it’s hard to say he didn’t hold back Durant’s abilities, let alone the Thunder in general with his play after watching this season play out.”

Lol, oh yeah! Wasn’t that like her last line? “Is this because I’m a lesbian?” or something like that? Man, the show had really started to decline at that point.

“if westbrook is even partially responsible for durant wanting to play somewhere else westbrook actually becomes one of the least valuable players in the league.”

“He did something flashy, and that is what MVP voters love above all. I’m cool with it, but no need to defend Westbrook on quantitative grounds because he’s not the best be any measure that matters.”

“You think a team of Irving/Love/TT wins 25 games in the east? Can I meet your dealer?”

But, but, but Kawhi in game one of the WCF!!!!

Suggestion to the author- you never say who Ballard is. You say the Fayettville DA made some claims, and then later in the paragraph you say some random person named Ballard apologized. It’s only by clicking on the link that you can find out that the two are one and the same. It’s somewhat implied, but could be made…
