All sell-out streaks are riddled with filler.

Johnny Cueto will be happy to mention his $84M owed over the next 4 seasons.

well free agents did come. and will. I wonder if someone will tell Brian the story of Jeff Samardjiza and lots and lots of money.

Eloquently and accurate.

So the lesson here kids is, you can help tell the most outrageous lies in the history of the Presidency to the taxpayers who pay your salary. You can be complicit in actions that were illegal, immoral and harmful to the country as well as countless individuals, and you can suck at your job so poorly you get canned…

I mean, I love the hell out of watching Russ play like a steaming bullet train straight from hell, and I was in the “Russ for MVP” camp just on the basis of his incredible individual efforts (Harden for overall, but yeah, arbitrary statistical anomalies do excite me; fight me about it), but I could not imagine…

I think the Golden State fans seem to like him. IF he’d have stayed in OKC and IF he’d have won, he’d be a hero there. Instead, he goes to a team with higher television exposure, better ability to market shoes/accessories, better chance to win championships and has capitalized on all of those fronts.

Well stated. The treatment of politics as entertainment spectacle also helps to push away people from the voting booths to be viewers rather than active participants in setting the direction.

It was one of the better fights I’ve seen in a while and definitely lived up to the hype, one judge’s corruption and/or incompetence notwithstanding.

Basketball fans generally watch all the way through the finals. You definitely don’t speak for this one. Although I just want to see amazing athletes play basketball; maybe if you ask people that want to pretend sports is a morality tale you’d get more traction.

Robert Horry hit some big shots. That’s why they call him Big Shot Bob.

And if he stayed in OKC and never got past the Warriors and retired without a championship, people would drag him for that as well. You can’t fucking win. Hell, LeBron went BACK to Cleveland and won them a title (against that 73 win juggernaut), and people still act like he’s not the best player in the league because…

Because he didn’t like where he was and wanted to go elsewhere.

What’s really rich is that people still accuse bands of selling out for licensing their music to commercials and movies, but these same people also no longer buy any albums.

Durant: “I am a professional basketball player and I would like to play basketball with the best possible set of teammates I can find for the remainder of my career, even if it means 25% less money.”

That’s fair. Canelo didn’t get trapped often. But I don’t think fighting from the ropes was his plan. GGG was advancing the entire night. Canelo could just stand his ground and GGG would draw himself into engagement range. Regardless, I agree that it was a very balanced fight. Neither guy let the other get away…

GGG was unable to push Canelo into a corner? I thought Canelo spent the entire second half of the fight walking backwards until he touched the ropes. I mean, I guess that’s not technically the “corner,” but still, GGG stalked him relentlessly for the final 70% of that fight.

You clearly missed the point. Mayweather’s fights are not entertaining. Ever.

I thought GGG won by a few rounds, but I could see a Canelo squeeker. 118-110 Canelo is just insulting though.

I could see it as a draw but it was basically a 115-113 card. 118-110 is absurd for either guy.
