The argument between you two here in the comments is a great way to make HamNo’s point.

Good shit. Every era has those Guys. I'm guessing I'm a few years younger because for me it was those '89 - '92 Donruss sets where they did the garish colors on the back of the card. Seemed impossible for any given pack to *not* contain an Oil Can Boyd. I'm convinced someone at Donruss just loved the dude's nickname.

I assume you’re talking about Laine? I know he had a down year, but he’s 21 and has begun his career with three straight 30+ goal seasons, including a 44 goal season. He’s definitely at an inflection point where the Jets need to be able to count on him to kick his scoring back up a bit next season, and to be a more…

Exactly this. The part of “moneyball” and “analytics” or whatever term you want to use that’s totally fun *independent of having an interest in the mathematics* is seeing the on-field results of teams moving hard into a market inefficiency. I hate the Cards like any sane person, but it would objectively rule to see…

Anyone that "tactically" wears their sunglasses on the back of their pack-of-hot-dogs head absolutely deserves to get smacked.

Also, Leonard’s jump shot was sub-G-League level for the first 35 minutes of the game, and he turned the ball over five times.

I’m inclined to think Durant isn’t going to look very good if he plays, but your points are still fair. That said, you have to imagine the Raptors will know pretty quickly if Durant is healthy enough to force them to rethink how they defend Curry and Thompson. I almost wonder if they come out with the same defensive…

The sweater though

Oh for sure, riling ourselves up over stupid debates like this is fun as hell, and totally harmless.

Hey Albert, you're easily my favorite Deadspinner, but on this one, eat my butt, pal! Michigan is great and considering you're doing some Hemingway impression out in the woods already, you might quite like it here!

The following states in their entirety:

GO TO THE BODEGA, GET SOME CRAYONS, AND COLOR THE MAP YOU COWARD!

Exactly. And I know this isn’t a new point at all, but the Warriors aren’t giving back that title from the year LeBron almost single-handedly beat them with that Australian try-hard fucker as his best surviving teammate.

But to the extent that Trump has ever seemed happy or even content during his time as president, it has been in ceremonial moments like this that match his florid self-conception

Feel a little ripped off that we are told this is a 15 card pack and yet you only remembered a few of the guys.

You can try to explain Liverpool’s successful Champions League run with a handful of anecdotes: Barcelona getting caught napping in the semis, Mané blasting a ball directly at Moussa Sissoko’s arm in the final, Origi’s whole Big Game thing. But when it mattered most, facing a team capable of stunning comebacks, it…

Borat voice MYYY WYYYYFE is actually good -- paging David Roth across verticals to help out.

Exactly right.

Oh, yeah, 100% in agreement. It was all smoke and mirrors to make his persona look better on the national stage, and it worked until the Flint water crisis.
