I liked the one the Giants tweeted out.

Ty lue is available. He turned down the lakers, that’s gotta be a plus right? Hinkie, he’s watching the phone. Danny ferry has got to be available too.

Modern NBA jam would be all mathematics based deep threes and drawing contact fouls. The only possible upside would be Draymond Green absolutely rocketing a pass in a defenders dick and balls.

Just glancing at the Rangers’ stats from 18-19 and wow, outside of Zibanejad, they do not have any top line forwards and all of their top D took a large step back. Trouba just became their best defenseman, which doesn’t seem optimal!

Yeah I just made a reply about this. That’s what happened when the Blues tried to trade Shattenkirk. He wouldn’t agree to sign an extension with anybody and his value cratered.

I agree in the sense that I don’t think this move is the turning point of a rebuild (not enough mature talent upfront, too much money/years left in Lundqvist & Shatty), but value regardless has to be viewed as a huge win if you think you got the cornerstone to your defense for when you turn the corner in (hopefully)

I want to

“Chris wants to coach James,” says a source familiar with the stars’ dynamic. “James looks at him like, ‘You can’t even beat your man. Just shut up and watch me.’”

I don’t get the feeling they’re working too hard on bringing back Pavelski unless he’s willing to give them a real nice hometown deal (4$M?). I think Thornton would take a $1.5M-2M deal, easy. But Meier will command, what, at least $6M? At least?! The math isn’t there unless they unload money elsewhere, maybe Dillon.

It should be a league rule that if your nickname is “E5" you HAVE to play third. No DH’ing, no starts at first, no defensive switches late in a game. If you are in the lineup, you play third. If you come off the bench to pinch hit, you must go in to the game and play third base. I wanna see that horror show in all its

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s like a few years ago when the Tigers had Cabrera, Fielder, and Martinez. There’s only one DH spot and only one of those guys could play halfway decent defense, and they took him away from the spot he was good at.

Let me see if I got this right. Because this is amazing. Canadian writes a wisecrack about US Soccer and fans; regrets it because he thinks it’s too mean, but due to how Kinja works, he has to edit it into something else rather than delete it; edits it into a wisecrack about general American attitude; and gets into a

It’s less strange when you realize that Encarnacion gives great clubhouse foot rubs.

It’s the most thin-skinned overreaction to the slightest criticism. “Hey, maybe tone down the celebrations when you’re up 10-0.”

They also got Danny Green in the deal, which seemed like a pretty huge cherry on top.

And for all the wanton Warrior bashing at times, it's a lesser league if we don't get see KD and Klay do their thing, regardless of which team they would be on. It's truly a cruel twist of fate that their bodies gave out right at the finish line, both as a team and individually with free agent paydays, well deserved,

The most valuable thing sports taught me was how to lose.

And if you say that Rapinoe’s celebration was excessive given the circumstances, you are just dismissed as a joyless cynic, because of course in America there is no concept of nuance to a discussion.

“This feeling of embarrassment, this shyness, this bashfulness, if you take that out of the people, then these people will do whatever they want to do. And that is the very definition of America, a people who have no shame, and therefore they do, whatever, they want, to do.” - some dude at the end of a Tribe Called
