as George Carlin so eloquently pointed out: “We’ve got the only national anthem that mentions fuckin rockets and bombs in the fuckin thing.”

yeah, but with MAGAts facts have as much of a place with them as they do within organized religion. It’s going to be awkward for them to be openly cheering for France to beat the US on Friday but they’ll do it since allegiance to their Dear Leader comes first. Cheering for Germany...at least the Germany that existed…

don’t forget that Kaep’s shoulder was shredded and had to be completely repaired which is why he missed the end of the 2015 season and first half or so of the 2016 season. 

she was asked by a reporter. 

the problem there is she’d never be let in wearing one. These visits to see Trump are so staged and controlled Kim Jong Un is impressed by it.

nah, it’s Oregon. He vaped. 

Brodie Van Wagenen

so overrated. They got Simmons and Embid, and, to a lesser extent, Saric. Other than that they drafted Noel, Okefor and Fultz. If they hit on just one of those three (particularly Tatum over Fultz) they’re NBA champs.

Kwame at least played in the NBA for 13 years. Bennett never played more than 57 games in a season, only started 4 games and only last four partial seasons.

There’s a difference between thanking God and those that go on long, extended rants and speak in a way like God was favoring them (Tebow).

pretty much, but a more Gen X/Millennial version without the rampant sexual harassment and banging of secretaries. Her boss was in his late 30's and kept his snowboard in his office. The guy had some excellent Bourbon. 

I’m not saying they don’t, but many athletes do and aren’t as in your face about it. They get told “thank God first” and”be humble for the lord.”  My grandfather was a preacher, I got that stuff from a young age (“you have God given talent. Apparently he didn’t give me enough). 

that orange juice I drank a few times in my legal writing class in law school wasn’t just orange juice...

I keep a fridge full of beer in my office. My wife’s former boss kept 6 bottles of bourbon in his. I don’t see the big deal as long as when you’re drinking it either A) at the end of the day, B) a Friday afternoon, especially in the summer, or C) you’re not getting hammered. Or, there’s always D) you are frustrated as…

a lot of times they’re fed the “be humble, thank the lord” line as a kid and even now by their handlers, PR team, etc. until they believe it or are conditioned to recite it. Of course, “God” is only responsible for good things - I don’t think anyone on the Sixers was giving him credit for Kawhi’s shot bouncing just…

and unlike Buster Douglas after he beat Tyson, he can’t blow up and gain a ton of weight.

let’s get Brian Fantana on this immediately:

Manute lost all of his money. Very sad story as much of is was to be donated for humanitarian efforts in Sudan. He had to do that awful “Celebrity Boxing” show just to get some money.

maybe it’s part of his new endorsement deal with Home Depot?

doing that with the Expos was done to destroy the Expos so Selig could have them move to DC.
