This is basically the right appraisal of Rooney, I think. There are no non-assholes who own NFL teams, but he was less of an asshole than most of them.

Dirty hit.

I don’t know much about him, but sounds like on balance he was a good guy by billionaire standards. The baptism response is, uh, disappointing. But he was for positive change.

Not that I don’t appreciate the craft beer analogy, which stat nerds are sticking up for Kawahi (stat nerds are all Harden, from what I can see).

If you’re too lazy to read this blog, here, I made it in meme form.

Voting for Kawahi is like craft beer for pretentious NBA stat nerds, who for some reason need a reason to discredit an otherwise all time great individual effort by Westbrook, “This KawahiPA over here is just so exquisite, I don’t think i can ever go back to looking at basketball the same way” .... “Who even came up…

He might be the MVP, but he’d have been hero if he took a chance and got his bonus AND his 69th 3 of the season.

The NBA doesn’t round up to whole numbers in shooting percentages. If you shoot 34.78-percent, you can round it up to 34.8 but not to 35.

Jose Reyes has been bad for a while and his stint with the Mets last season should have been in-person proof of this for Mets’ brass. Good utility guy option, I suppose, but considering David Wright’s back is worse than Bruce Wayne’s in the pit they shouldn’t be shocked that they’re in this situation.

Swimming is utterly incredible. Not to be a one-upper (seriously), but maybe the single most pleasurable day of my entire life involved my friend smuggling some acid through airport security, us taking it in Zanzibar, and spending many hours just bobbing around in the (quite warm) Indian Ocean.

Good guide. Another tip - put your phone and computer away. They’re best not accessed whilst tripping balls.

I’ve never had a bad trip, but I have a baby now. I should probably stop tripping when I have to be around the baby, right? That seems like at the very least, one of us is going to have a very bad time.

The Heinz Factory has been luxury lofts for years. They don’t manufacture it in Pittsburgh anymore.

Cosign on the general principle of upholding the bonds of society.

Maybe it’s a New York thing, but no one goes to funerals except the closest family and friends. That shit is in the morning and no one is burning a vacation day on that.

Yeah, one thing I’ve learned as I’ve grown older - you should go to funerals of people you know whenever it’s not a major inconvenience (though if they’re really close, then you go anyway). Their families really appreciate it. If you “don’t do” funerals, you need to get over yourself - nobody fucking likes them.

Dead people are dead, so they don’t need you to go to their funeral.

Hey people, some advice: you *don’t actually have to use Twitter*. You might find you’re a lot happier just letting other people aggregate the funny or informative stuff instead, or just ignoring it entirely!
