I saw future Warriors star Jiri Welsch walking around SF once!

Let’s see... He was drafted by a crap franchise that remained crappy his first three seasons. They traded away Monta Ellis late in season three to hand Steph the reins, he got healthy that offseason, and the Warriors are 429-157 since (playoffs included) and favored to win their third title in four seasons. They have…

In this guy’s case, he might want to add a bunch of things he actually likes about people, life, himself, etc. to offset the whole “cut every conservative family member out of your life forever because if they vote blue nothing else matters” deal. Honestly, he acts like the pet thing is a big ask, but how many people…

I’m glad they had time between commenting seriously below Facebook posts from The Onion and sharing social media posts about Julia Roberts buying a home in their hometown.

Yes, if the Rockets keep “hitting shots like last night” then they win the series. But I’m not sure the Ariza-Tucker-Gordon triumvirate shoots ~23-33 from the field and ~12-18 from 3-point range is much a game plan. Ariza shot 78%, Tucker shot 89% and Gordon shot 67% from the outside. They scored nearly twice their…

When I saw some writers list him as their No. 9 prospect last summer, I thought they were nuts. Nobody would’ve guessed he’d be doing this right now, but if you watched him in the ACC Tournament or against Florida at MSG coming off an injury or at Virginia, you should’ve known how good he was and how advanced his…

As someone who has spent ~$10/mo. on body wash (Nivea Men used with a bath sponge) for the last decade, it’s simply a much better experience for me than using bar soap with or without a washcloth. There’s no bar soap mess (also, bar soap doesn’t work well with a sponge and I greatly prefer sponge to washcloth), my…

Teams shouldn’t try to get better and players should only make career/life decisions approved as non-punk by Twitter consensus, obviously.

Based on his basketball skills, personality and resting face, “The Franchise Disclosure Document” is the perfect nickname for this guy.

What about the other 17 guys who have done the same thing during the playoffs?

What’s worse than the middle-stall shitter is the guy at my office who, despite having access to four private bathrooms of which at least one is always vacant, still shits stinkily in the one shared men’s restroom consisting of two urinals and one stall. The office is one level and two of the private bathrooms are…

That’d be great, but it’s obviously way too much to ask. Fox spent $200 million on 2018 World Cup TV rights and couldn’t convince itself to send more than two of its six announcing teams to Russia for a month-long event. Their coverage is going to be so bad.

I was all about G.I. Joe and will always be annoyed at myself for giving away my huge box of action figures and playsets to my neighbor. My pride and joy were the Tactical Battle Platform and Eaglehawk Helicopter, and I watched the cartoon each morning. From there I transitioned to sports cards (plus sports stuff…

Sure, but I’ve got a hunch more people will watch the Champions League final than watched last weekend’s La Liga-clinching Barcelona victory over Deportivo La Coruna. And in 20 years I don’t think most fans will know off the top of their head who won La Liga in 2018, but they’ll know what happened in the CL Final…

The Cavs scored 137 points in their lone 2017 NBA Finals victory, Kyrie scored a team-high 40, and it was LeBron’s lowest percentage of his team’s scoring in the series. I’m not trying to be a LeBron truther, just pointing out that the only game the Cavs won last time around was the game in which he had support to…

Scoring 26 points on 30 shots while finishing 1-for-8 on 3-point attempts and 1-for-6 on free throw attempts is a bad shooting game for anyone. Yes, an all-time great like LeBron will be taken for granted, but in this case it’s less about his triple-double getting overlooked and more that all-around effort (and the…

When I moved further away from journalism and media relations a few years ago I was taken aback by the number of people at my new workplace who would submit double-spaced drafts for review. It took me a while to realize all the extra spaces were purposefully placed to create enormous dead spaces that can be seen from…

In-N-Out burgers are tasty (3x3 w/ an extra toasted bun for me), but your assessment of the fries is factually correct. More often than not, the fact I can get edible fries at Wendy’s (or places like Five Guys or The Habit where I have to get out of the car) leads me to pass on In-N-Out most of the time.

We all know that making sure the correct team gets possession or ensuring that a goaltend is enforced in the final 30 seconds of a tie game in a tied playoff series just doesn’t matter as much as an making sure a flagrant foul is called for an inadvertent touch of the face following a seven-minute video review.

Yeah, for big college basketball games there are over-the-basket cameras ESPN uses (and from the wrong end to boot) for these streaming-only alternative broadcasts, but for the last handful of years the college football national championship game has been available with the same video as the national broadcast, but no…
