So because you have very little space, you have “bought the privilege” to needlessly inconvenience another person dealing with the same allotment of very little space? This is the definition of entitlement.

You really only need one partner at a VC firm to have heard of Rick Reilly so that when The Athletic goes back for more cash they can point to him as a selling point. There’s no way there’s any value to his writing.

This dude has his two sons all over his facebook page. Isn’t there supposed to be something about wanting to be someone your kids look up to and not whiny “I intentionally talk shit to a dude’s face and he hit my phone!” guy?

Yes, it’s great for those without NBA talent. If you have NBA talent though, why should you go have to generate millions in revenue for one of the nation’s wealthiest educational institutions while being prohibited from seeing a dime for a year?

I think it’s not bigger because it’s a baseball story and the MLB has fucked itself from being the most-covered sport in the US to an entity of 30 shrinking and aging individual fanbases that increasingly give zero fucks about the other 29.

“If he could successfully bang away with Embiid in the paint, gobble up rebounds, and protect the rim, he could swing the series in Miami’s favor.” 

Thibs needs to be called out for being an awful defensive coach even though he was brought in for being a “defensive guru” that has now produced one of the worst defensive teams in the league for two years that is terrible at defending at large (3rd highest defensive rating) and especially suck at defending shots (4th…

I’ve never lived in the south, but I would challenge any city in the country to be more openly racist than the Black Hills/Rapid City area is towards natives. It’s the same city that a few years ago at a minor league hockey game featured grown adults cursing at and dumping beer on native schoolchildren while “go back…

Coach who only has career because his dad said “playoffs” funny shits on former QB.

The PBS NewsHour is good, people should watch that.

John Harbaugh as well.

Frank Reich (who I had to look up) isn’t even in the obviously fat guy club and he’s wearing a damn mumu with sleeves.

How about instead of a tribunal of 9 year-olds that if two refs can’t agree on a reviewed play in 60 seconds they alternate calls a la the possession arrow? The team that’s the underdog (pick ‘em games start with the road team) gets the first call knowing that they’re losing the next 50/50 call. Perfectly fair?…

This is incorrect. The Lynx played in St. Paul at the Xcel Center (the NHL’s Minnesota Wild venue) last year while the Target Center was being renovated and were forced into playoff games last year at Williams because the Wild prioritized their preseason home games. Other than last year, the Lynx have always played…

Elizabeth Holmes?

“EPL-centric followers of the sport are often shocked by the result while fans with a better understanding of Spanish soccer are much less surprised, knowing that there is much more talent in Spain outside of the Big Three in Madrid and Barcelona than outsiders give the country credit for.”

It’s actually the G-League now, so it would be the NBA 2K E-League G-League for PS4 on TBS (by GE?)

They really should be fighting for younger, maybe even down to 15 or 16. The current NCAA basketball/path to the NBA system needs to go, but let’s not turn a blind eye to the even shadier world of AAU/Nike/Adidas Leagues and the national travel schedule high school ball where there’s no incentive to develop players…

Total Wine & More is similar- anything ending with a 7 indicates it’s the lowest price you can find (mostly nationally distributed wines) and can’t be included in further discounts whereas any wines not ending in 7 (most likely a 9 and likely store-owned brands) are always available in a case for a 15% discount and…

There are great points in this piece regarding widespread apathy of the NFL but it sounds like if the 49ers were in their playoff/NFC Championship streak that the writer would’ve been more interested in the NFL at large this season.
