Yeah but then you have to live in Kansas with a shit school system and no museums.

And sure, all the Coastal folks will laugh at me (because you’re dicks).

I think you’ve described their thinking very well. I also think, well, this:

It’s kind of a problem when one reads the headline and starts to rattle off in their brain a list of sycophant journalists to which it might be referring.

Oh man I was so sure from the headline this was gonna be Cillizza.

Goddammit why can’t Deadspin just stick to spor

Well the process did work, why the hell wouldn’t you praise the man?

or do you point out that the Sixers likely would have sucked hard enough to draft him even without it

Don’t worry about Hinkie. Two things have happened to ensure he will get credit. The first is there is no way Sixers fans will ever let the national or local media forget they were wrong. The second is Embiid naming himself “The Process”. He took the term that was used to make fun of Hinkie, the Sixers, and anyone…

meh, he flipped mcw for the lakers pick. and was widely panned here for trading the “next jason kidd.”

Basically it’s “the Process worked, but would’ve worked better if Sam Hinkie didn’t suck at drafting.”

Kevin and Albert have covered this very well

How far out do we go where sportswriters are allowed to praise Sam Hinkie? Like the Sixers won’t be really comparative this year but if they are in a year or two, do we still get revisionist pieces about how “The System” worked (despite producing years of putrid basketball)?

It’s really a shame the Sixers didn’t keep Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes and Andre Iguodala and keep making runs at the 7 seed, though.

I’m 39, which means I am officially both old as balls and not a millennial, and I’ve been waiting for them to do something about the end of NBA games since I got back into the sport fourteen years ago. Blaming it on attention spans is ludicrous. The back-and-forth fouling at the end of games has been an obvious…

Still the best highlight show. Ruined it for myself when they brought it the other assholes and they didn’t show all the highlights. But NFL Primetime was perfect, an hour of great highlights of all the games played with the best fucking soundtrack. It’s one of those things that I’ll always have a memory of.

Having fun every weekend in your 20s is way better than doing it in your 40s.

Also, Prescott would not have been playing behind one of the best O-Lines in football and handing the ball off to the rookie of the year (also related to that Offensive line) in San Francisco.

Chip also tried to tell George Lucas to leave Jar Jar out of the Star Wars prequels.

While I thought I knew pretty much everything about football (except what a catch in the NFL is) can someone explain how this is legal?
