The scary thing is that I think Trump and Ryan are going to have success with tax reform. Republicans don’t want another embarrassing gaffe so they will take their time putting together a bill that screws everyone over. Even more important there just won’t be the same kind of tangible evidence hurts everyday…

This list is just intended to troll Trump, correct? It includes one person that reports directly to him, two people he’s had feuds with, the person that owns a paper he hates and multiple women (including one other world leader).

Even if it’s automatic, I would hope that he would add $15 to bring it closer to 20%.

Did anyone else notice that the week his HBO show was cancelled was the same week he stopped using “Picture Me Rollin’” as the intro to his podcast? That was about as much humility as you will ever see from that man.

Can someone explain hockey to a basketball fan? Why did the refs break up the first fight (around the 1:20 mark) so early? At what point to the refs decide to break up the the long fights? After they got out of the penalty box for the first time did Ignila literally skate up to the other guy and say “Would you like to…

Well I really don’t appreciate you telling witty jokes that fly over my head.

No snark—help me understand what you are saying.

There were great posts on PFT and here on Washington has messed this up so bad they have no leverage in a long-term deal. The baseline for a deal would be the value of the tag this year and next year...$52 million. So if I’m Kirk, I’d be open to discussing a deal, but I wouldn’t take a call until they offered…

It’s not just that the Wolves beat the Warriors, Clippers, and Wizards in the past week, but Rubio thoroughly outplayed Wall, Paul, and Curry in those games*. Like beat the pants off of them. If you only saw those three games you would assume that RR is the best PG in the league.

Not to sound like an asshole libertarian, but this is just a functionality of supply and demand. There are less than 50 people on the entire planet that can play QB as well as Mike Glennon (for the 2017 season). So when you have that few people that can play the most important position for the most financially…

His deal reportedly gives him final say on such things as all roster matters.

We hired PWC a couple years ago for a consulting gig and they were the most pretentious bunch of assholes I have ever met in my life (and I work with a bunch of consultants). During introductions the lead guy said something like “You may have of PWC from our work with the Oscars”. It was as coy as Andy Bernard…

I do have an answer. The year before Hinkie was brought in they finished 9th in the East. Hinkie and his acolytes call it the “purgatory” where you aren’t good enough to really compete for titles, but not bad enough to get a franchise altering player. He thought the best way to move forward was to tank over a period…

Ben Simmons hasn’t played a game yet, Embiid has played 31 games in 2.5 seasons, and there are maybe 3 other NBA level rotation players on that roster.

I left for a week long cruise on the day Trump was inaugurated. I missed the speech, arguments over crowd size, and alternative facts. Not seeing any of that in real time easily added two weeks on my life.    

This is exactly why I get in so many fights with people that claim Hinkie is a genius and the Sixers shouldn’t have fired him. Even if “The Process” was the right approach, the execution was absolutely terrible. The list of players that could have been had instead of MKG, Okafor, Noel, etc. is embarrassing. Of all of…

Luckily, my kids don’t know that you can buy stuff with our Echo. Our problem is that every time I ask Alexa to play a song/album/artist my three year old instantly shouts “ALEXA PLAY HAPPY!”. I have heard the first three seconds of that damn Pharell song approximately 183 times over the past two months. 

As the risk of sounds like a Hennigan apologist, this was actually the right move. I appreciate that for once a GM didn’t fall into the sunken cost fallacy. They should have never made the initial Ibaka trade, but he wasn’t working out. Rather than losing him for nothing in the off-season or signing him to a dumb…

White conservatives may object to transferring wealth to “black people,” but I do recall Jesus saying some stuff about giving to the poor. That should poll better.

Even better, because of all the chaos from those rotations no one puts a body on Love. If Korver does miss Love is in a perfect spot for an offensive rebound and put back.
