Yeah, didn’t he cancel taco Tuesday? Talk about locker room cancer. 

Player’s unions don’t care about rookies.

So Giannis, basically a year from now, will be eligible for a supermax extension. At that time, of course, he’ll be offered a supermax extension.

meanwhile the Orlando Magic are circumventing the salary cap and screwing their first-round pick to deafening silence from the league

On the subject of Chris “America’s Ass” Evans- go see Snowpiercer. Now. Do it. IMO maybe 2nd best film of the decade (Mad Max: Fury Road being the OBVIOUS #1)

Brown’s reaction upon reading the headline.

To be fair, I think we should withhold judgement and run that experiment just to be sure.

They’re gearing up for war I expect. I think we’ll see a lot of political communications people and outright lobbyists get hired into these Comms positions over the next few months and year.
