Eh, hockey players are tougher. Lots of them get their balls removed so they’re not disabled by crotch shots, sex, or excess testosterone. 

Dirk also had Kidd. I don’t think there’s an honest argument that puts the Rockets’ 1993-94 team after Olajuwon as clearly better than the 2010-11 Mavs team after Dirk. 

Yeah, and if only asterisked titles were a real thing. Hakeem and the Rockets won their titles fair and square. Jordan, no Jordan. Irrelevant. Shit happens. It’s a nice “what-if?”. But it’s not a legitimate qualifier.

Dilly. [Sob.] Dilly.

Andrew Young is awesome; and he looks fucking great for 87. That is all.

You basically just described every experience of going to any NFL football game. It actively sucks and (almost anywhere) kills an entire half a weekend. But at least it’s expensive too.

I was going to guess 22 or so. Just doing the math he was probably thinking, “No way I keep this up another 28 years.” Well, friend. You will if you’re lucky.

If any place on earth at any time in human history can find a way for its STI rate to exceed 100%, that place is Lubbock, Texas on this weekend.

Why do I get the feeling that Leach will be doing this same shit very soon. As like a sovereign citizen. 

Seems like a great time to remind ‘em Michael Dyer was down.

To me, the grievances and discipline problem is fucking huge. There’s a direct relationship that goes unnoticed by a lot of people. Police salaries suck. (So do firefighters’...just to throw that in.)

Yeah, I don’t know if there is a lot of hope in DAs either. While I think the Krasner way is really the only way to go, I don’t know how tenable that situation can be. In my experience, DAs are extremely beholden to cops because the success of their cases depends on the cops, the “health” of that relationship, and how…

Acevedo is a weird duck, at least as far as police chiefs tend to go nationally. He definitely subscribes to the absurd notion that “if I’m pissing off people on the left and people on the right, then I must be doing a good job.” He’s even said as much.

The only real union thugs in America are the cops.

Because the vast majority of his supporters really want to believe the lie.

If Trump could just cheat at golf, call in to his favorite Fox News shows, eat shitty food, and fantasize about his fucking his daughter, then he would be perfectly happy content his own personal ideal level of miserable.

Maybe we shouldn’t speak in absolutes while there’s a primary. No I’m not going to vote for Trump. But running some ancient old centrist white guy, especially someone like Biden who has basically been on the wrong side on every compromise democratic sellout position over a decades-long career would be very bad. (And…

Please give us more huge athletes being very cool to small fans.

Except it’s not a well-deserved reputation. In part because it’s a weird reputation to hang on anyone based on this tournament, especially considering how much parity (outside of the very top-tier programs) now exists in college basketball. Coach K once had that rep. So did Roy Williams. And Calipari. And Jay Wright. I…

Making an occasional first half free-throw would’ve helped. It was one of their worst halves of the entire season and they were still only down 12 and obviously had an even bigger comeback in them. Proud of the way they fought back. But, yes, they had 5 Purdue guys with 2 fouls at half, Purdue was shooting lights out…
