a) I genuinely do not understand the appeal of Drake’s music. I have yet to hear a Drake song that demonstrates any skill, ability, or ear for anything resembling a catchy tune. Get off my lawn.

This is what he deserves for playing at Duke. 

Did everyone in New Orleans take a turn kicking Deadspin’s gerbils?

This is horseshit. Good for New Orleans. Fuck New York. Fuck Boston. Fuck LA.

Enough with tanking, enough with teams flushing multiple seasons down the toilet. Enough with fans’ time being wasted with so many meaningless regular season games.

It would just be so fitting to be going from Zion Durant and Kyrie to say, Boogie Cousins and Rondo.

Counterpoint: Bledsoe hurling a ball at Embiid from close range is hilarious.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball my man

The rare athlete that makes me feel truly fortunate to have seen play for my favorite team.

god i loved the ‘90s Mariners. and goddamn, who wouldn’t love Ichiro.
