RIP, Cornershop. Hope you enjoyed existing!

Meesseman was also hitting 3's at a crazy high percentage in previous games in this series. Good for the Mystics. They’ve managed to get the WNBA talked about in the local media and now DC will have to see about having a parade for their newest champions.

In fairness, Splinter ≠ Gawker. The shutdown is sad and unfortunate, but Splinter never seemed to find its voice, veering between high dudgeon and preachiness and some humor, with a just awful comment section. Splinter was sort of like S4 of ‘Community’. Not trash or bad by any stretch, but not really sticking the…

I was sleepy so maybe I mis-heard him this morning on SC, but James Harden seemed awfully accommodating to the Chinese government while speaking to reporters in Japan about this. It’s one thing for an idiot President to sell out Hong Kong (not to mention the Kurds, but they don’t buy a lot of NBA merch so let’s leave…

It’s never a good thing to voice the same opinion as Larry “Intangibles” Michaels.

Fwiw, Jay Gruden also chokes up when he talks about Chris Thompson. 

Tonight would be a perfect time for Jay Gruden to tweet his support for Hong Kong.

Hmm... Wait until the Chinese impose a blackout on G/O Media over this post.

My first exposure to ATL-level pessimism was at halftime during the Super Bowl when I called my brother in Atlanta to let him gloat about how well it was going. Instead, all he said was, “It’s the Falcons. They’re going to find a way to lose this game. Everybody in Atlanta already knows that.”
