I guess I’ll take your word for it, I’d rather listen to a full symphony comprised of nothing but stray cats being strangled than listen to her voice.

The on-air personality who popularized the phrase “How you doin’?”

Because the world’s a dangerous place here in the year nineteen dickety two.

Would’ve figured that “obscure rants” would be something from an angry hipster. You’ve probably never even heard of the things they’re pissed about.

Unlike Simmons at the moment, I don’t know that there’s any evidence that he’d be unwilling to play. Unlike his current home, he’s eligible to play in Philly. As much as he gives up in defense compared to what Simmons gives you, he solves your spacing and perimeter scoring issues instantly and theoretically would be a…

Is there any offer out there that gets them past the second round where they’ve seemingly gotten stuck?

Morey isn’t looking for a mega star

On the plus side, they got out of having to see Gucci Mane perform. So...win some, lose some?

I think the Lakers’ spacing issues are a little overblown. They shot 42 threes last night and made a league-average 36 percent of them; with as much of an MDK as they should be teamwide on 2-pointers, a slightly above-average 3-point attack should be enough for an elite offense. LeBron (who people forget has become a…

I’ll allow it, I don’t think you’re being whiny. Especially with the position you’re in. Even some Power 5 athletic departments are subsidized to some extent, but for the most part their money isn’t really at the expense of the university as a whole. My perspective has always been a little skewed on this because…

“We all process things differently” doesn’t mean “it’s OK to be an unprofessional douchebag nearly six years later.”

The coaches making the biggest money are usually a bargain. Those are programs that turn profits and those contracts are usually paid for by boosters raising a bazillion dollars to pay/eventually buy them out anyway.

Boo fucking hoo. We all lose people, we all need emotional support. Losing a relative in 2016 isn’t justification for being a selfish, unprofessional douchebag in 2021. (And I’m saying this as someone arguing that the 76ers are at least as responsible for this situation as Ben is.)

He returned 8 days ago.  

The two things aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s not a zero-sum game where any fault of one side means the other is being wronged. Ben Simmons is being a precious, coddled little fuckboy who’s being unprofessional. The 76ers are being arrogant and possessive. Both things are true.

Totally agree.

But from the 76ers perspective, your second sentence contradicts your first. This is not going to end with Ben Simmons as a happy and productive member of a reconciled 76ers team. It’s going to end with him on another team. If you think you can get a superstar, then terrific. But letting this situation fester can only…

Harden still showed up and actually played games. 

There’s plenty of trade offers out there for Ben. Daryl Morey is not parting with him for anything less than a megastar and none are currently available.

And jerky? Since when is enjoying jerky some kind of “haha, you’re white” slur? I get that he’s out of practice with the “president of people who ___” bit that was, to be charitable, hit-or-miss to begin with, but woof, these two were terrible.
