Are we sure this isn't just Nick Kroll?

After reading number 1, I felt this horrible mommy guilt and couldn’t finish reading. Then I started to feel angry. Angry because it took me a long time to snap out of the “first time mom” fog of misery created by guilt inducing articles like this one. Or at least number 1 since I really couldn’t read beyond that,

“The goals - in typical CR7 fashion - were not much to write home about anyway.”

Unfortunately, the part of basketball he forgot was “how to win basketball games without having the best players on your team”.

“Jabronis”

Yep. My biggest hope is that they go sell their side of the story to ESPN, or somewhere, and make the Patriots look worse. You know someone was paying them to compromise their jobs.

Of course they are also the only ones whose lives will be meaningfully impacted by it. They not only aren’t getting paid their likely meager wages, but imagine trying to get another job in New England as one of those guys now. This is funny in a lot of ways, but those guys are the only ones that shouldn’t have to bear

The irony is that Albert Burneko, who is smarter and more literate than Simmons, is also a shitty writer for exactly the same reasons as Simmons; a tremendous self-regard and a style that is more about highlighting himself than addressing his subjects.

Obviously writing is subjective (I assume Albert Burneko has a Master’s in journalism or something similar that makes his criticism valid), but it is fun to point out that the first 4 paragraphs of this article get a readability score of 61.8 on the Flesch-Kincaid scale, while the Bill Simmons mailbag article

Must have been nice to get away with a free foul that wasn’t called that didn’t send LBJ to the free throw line where all he had to do was make 1 of the 2.

What point is that? The top 11 teams in three point shooting percentage are in the playoffs and beyond Memphis, none of the remaining teams are below average three point shooting teams.

Good kinja!

And Canada is part of the Americas.

No. Great Britain is an island, Ireland is a different island. The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland, thus its full name: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Ireland (the country) is not part of Britain or the UK.

It could be worse.

Those two things stack up pretty close I’d say. And the Falcons got a harsh punishment for it. As should the Patriots for their infraction. The Patriots aren’t helping themselves with the attention. If they would have just admitted to doctoring the balls then it would have gone away. Instead they’ve been exceedingly

Seeing as how this website did not exist in the 1970s, probably not.

You could almost substitute “Mourinho” for “Mayweather” and be just as accurate... save for the woman-beating part (at least as far as we know).

Because it's a flawed sport.
