Is it Kershaw’s fault the public and media find his off-field and on-field behavior to cumulate into being, in your words, “one of the most boring professional athletes out there”?

It’s Jeremy Lin and he’s Asian. Poor behavior, whether verbal or physical, is more accepted against Asians than any other race. For recency, look no further than the 2017 World Series. The inciter was barely reprimanded -

“Do something good for the kids? I gave them parties, girls, money, note takers and was vilified for it. Don’t tell me about doing something good for the kids.”

Hmmm.... I’m sorry that happened to you. That sounds like an awful situation. It seems like you’ve self-reflected a lot on it and hopefully you recognize that he is at fault, not you. Hopefully you’ve distanced yourself from him. I wonder if he understands what he did to you.

I truly believe this encounter was consensual vs I recognize now... Well, which is it? Does what he currently recognize supersede what he believes? And he uses “believe,” not the past tense “believed.”

Eh, could have lost to someone worse.

Press: “Do you think [Zaza’s] a dirty player?”

This is not a hot take. This is a reasonable, well-deduced response to the hot take. Shame on you. It doesn’t belong on the internet.

For his 16th birthday, Shaq bought his son a Lamborghini and a Jeep. The boy doesn’t need recruiting cash to attend U of A.

The only DJ worth tolerating. And even that can be a stretch.

I once sat next to a young boy on an international flight. After the plane took off, his mother pulled out a portable dvd player and set it on her son’s tray table. She didn’t reach into her bag and say, “Oh no, I forgot headphones” or even deign on asking her son if headphones were in his backpack. I don’t know

I don’t like the idea of having celebrity judges. It makes the contest seem phony. And I mean phony as in “bad.” Not “bad” is good, I mean “bad” as in bad.

To heavy to hop? More like McD-12. “Ba, da, da, da, da, I’m not dunkin’ it.”

I wish there was some rule that a team that picked in the top 3 or top 5 couldn’t do so again the following year. Or a team with the #1 pick one year couldn’t get it again for another 2 or 3 years.

Twiiiiiiiiiiix!!!

“So, what’s wrong with that?”

I feel like public apologies like this are more for the sake of the person posting than the person receiving, more of using someone else’s tragedy to stay relevant in a ocean of social media. If you want to show your empathy, write a letter (THAT is serious effort and would be well-recognized by the recipient) or

Anyone listen to Explosions in the Sky? If you don’t, I recommend starting.

Perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise for Fultz. I mean, it worked out for a certain someone named Albert Einstein.
