"unless you order the unhealthiest option at an unhealthy restaurant, you are a fucking hypocrite"

"No one is surprised."

Well, I'm glad you had the foresight to take the Tampa ML, then

I'll never understand people who don't understand that people who occasionally enjoy unhealthy food also try to minimize the unhealthiness of that food.

normally I am supportive of that line of thinking — it's very difficult for prosecutors to prove when an on-field act "crossed the line".

but this isn't an on-field act. This is no different than getting shoved into the stands, and punching a fan you don't like

Serious question — how is this not a misdemeanor?

Great. I didn't touch the game but I advised everyone to bet 76ers. You called me a fool for doing so.

It doesn't change the fact that I was right about the game; you were incorrect; and even if Houston won by 13,000 points, you still contradicted yourself by buying the point to 16 -130

Let's see, you predicted a 20+ point blowout, and I said:

"a sports bettor is overreacting to a blowout...and the team who got blown out is going to step up their defensive game tomorrow night.."

LOL he tells me there's such a miniscule chance of the final score being between 10 and 18 points, AND THEN he says he buys a point? This dude has to be trolling; or he was terminated from VegasInsider with cause.

"butthurt" is homophobic slang, you dense hypocrite

As opposed to the previous 10 seasons, filled with positive attendance and weekly national TV games.

yep, and it's the Deadspin writer who is implying he can read the thoughts of a 23-year-old NBA player for an 0-7 team, coming off a 5+ month injury.

Derrick Rose? Take all the time you need.

1) i never said -15.5 was incorrect, only that i'd rather grab 18.5 (something i won't do)
2) it's early, the back-to-back scares me much less than the 5-day layoff which preceded this game
3) I am the Cheese. I am the best character on this show. I am better than both the bologna and the salami combined.

Ever since Iverson left, the Sixers were in the 4th-12th place range that is basically quicksand. I loved Iguodala's game, and Sam Dalembert was hilarious, but after a while it got tiring.

Synonym: "a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same..."

So, so close, Mr. Pereira.

Well, when I bet under 16.5 wins for the Sixers, and they play very well in their first six games — all close losses, all scared the shit out of me — yeah, I'm gonna be salty when people jump on the first blowout as evidence of "OMG theyre trying to lose", when it is just blatantly false.

"salty" is a colloquial…

the joke was understood. i agreed with your underlying point that the blame was misplaced, and i elaborated on why. Apologies for not being clear.

Who are you to decide what his "all" is?

There is a cost-benefit analysis to every decision a human makes, and you're criticizing him for understanding that there is no value in playing 30 minutes off an injury in this game. (30 fucking minutes).

WAIT A MINUTE, a sports bettor is overreacting to a blowout...and the team who got blown out is going to step up their defensive game tomorrow night...and tomorrow's line opened at 15.5 BEFORE tonight's game.

If only the Sixers possessed the greatest PG ever, who suddenly fell victim to an exactly 1-year injury, and then parlayed the previous decade of that player's success with that slight injury doubt into the next generation's top PG.

Oh wait, even if that did happen to the Sixers, the NBA's draft-slotting rules…

The NBA has 30 teams. Charlotte did this a few years ago, but they were in Raleigh and called themselves Bobcats so nobody noticed.
