That’s exactly it. As obnoxious and irritating as, say, Celtics and Lakers fans are during the boom periods, there’s a specific parallel here to the way that Silicon Valley worsens American society.

Tried to sell soul for the Knicks to get to the conference Finals.........but James Dolan traded it for Andrea Bargnani.

It’s not so much that success spoiled Warriors fans. It’s that 90 percent of Warriors have become fans in the last five years, so success is all they know.

“Police Squad, a special division of the Police Department” gets me every time. 

“It’s extremely self-centered and selfish of people,’ Pitino said

Jim never said Leyland was a Greek name.

You’re not wrong, but Americans are the ones that have the information and willfully choose to not only disbelieve it, but make matters worse on purpose just to throw a big middle finger at the people we disagree with

This is the first time that I’ve thought to myself that maybe Stephen Jackson should come out of retirement 

Here’s hoping he figures it out! Based on recent history, it doesn’t seem like Drake has had much trouble locating lines during a basketball game.
