Enjoy it! He’ll be back to normal the moment he faces a defense capable of applying some pressure.

It’s the same old Alex Smith and he’ll look like himself the moment he plays a defense that can apply even some pressure.

It is, though. You guys have had sponsored posts as well. The lack of disclosure is an issue, but the tactic itself would be the same.

This pains me to say it because I love Beltre and actively dislike Schmidt, but Mike Schmidt is the greatest all around 3B ever. Observe: Schmidt in parts of 18 seasons (2,404 total games) had a career 106.5 fWAR. Beltre, so far in his career has played in parts of 20 seasons (2,772 total games) to the tune of a 83.1…

Whoa there are badgers that AREN’T sentient?! I’d be more worried about them, tbh.

Saric’s numbers: 12.8 points per game, 6.3 boards.

Not about results because results are based at least somewhat on luck. Hinkie handled the elements of the rebuild that he could control, and in his wake, the Sixers are set up better for the future than almost any team in NBA history. So just stop. Step away from the keys and take the goddamn L.

Go ahead and delete your account.

Um, Yao Ming isn’t American.

Tanaka definitely had *something* to do with it.

So... to be clear, Lakers tank and are ripped for not doing it properly. Sixers tank and are ripped for... considering the way they’re set up for the future, I’m still not sure what.

Well actually, she’s right. The DH is an abomination.

You are absolutely right, and it’s a shame that Joseph in all his reductiveness can’t follow what is a very simple line of logic.

Huge Phillies fan here. Utley is my favorite player of all time. Rollins deserves to be in that company, too. Today is about Rollins. So kindly stfu.

And when we ask dopes like you how you would’ve built a team and put them in a better position in terms of draft assets, young talent, and cap space—all while being highly competitive—none of you have an answer.

Assange will agree to be extradited for two reasons: 1) Coming to the U.S. would, in theory, save him from Putin’s wrath (who knows who or why Putin will have someone killed next) and 2) He’ll spend a couple years in prison before Trump pardons him at the end of his term.

Actually, he didn’t speak much at all. Part of the reason he was run out of town by the media.

It’s not a revisionist piece when the plan was to be “putrid” for (a couple) years and land a player like Embiid. This is exactly what was intended and to say is to report honestly. If people had spent less time reading Deadspin’s horribly short-sighted critiques of Hinkie and the process, they’d understand this.

Knicks fans should get used to this. It was a nice preview of how the Sixers will be shitting on the Knicks (and Deadspin’s staff) for the next decade.
