Randle shot 48.8% from the field last year. Through 10 games this year, he’s shooting 62.2%. Even if you assume that small sample size reflects his true skill level and some giant improvement in his game, it’s only enough to turn him into a league average player. His advanced metrics are awful, basically…

The anthem and the flag are representations of the government of the United States, which in this country includes local, state, and federal governments unified under the Constitution of the United States. That Constitution states explicitly in Amendment IV that no person shall be deprived of their life without due…

$14?! I go to Colorado Rockies games for cheaper than that.

So of all things in this article to get angry about, you chose the way criminal legislative power is divided between a state and city government? That’s a bit of a weird take.

“I was going to spend $2,000 in airfare to visit Denali National Park, but once I saw that the park fee was $70 instead of $35, I cancelled my trip.”

It’ll cost you well over $500 in travel and lodging to get to almost every single one of these places, but I’m sure the extra $35 is really going to kill attendance.

Cap space means jack when no one good will sign for your team because it hasn’t won more than 30 games in over a decade. And you’ll find it really hard to trade for good players willing to play for a team that bad. The team has no chance at free agents or players on the trading block unless Embiid, Simmons, and…

I mean the end game is simply pointing out that there was never a Plan B to the Process. This is known and widely acknowledged. The 76ers have literally zero other options if the Process does not yield a winning team in the next two or three seasons but to keep losing and losing and losing.

But sometimes you get the No. 1 pick in the draft and it winds up being Kwame Brown or Greg Oden. Sometimes talented players suffer devastating injuries and are never the same again. See Rose, Derek. Presumably, if Embiid/Simmons/Fultz don’t work out, you would immediately advocate tanking again to load up on…

So legit question since you said you’re okay with it. Embiid and Simmons both suffer career-ending season injuries this year (already a stretch assumption at this point given that they’ve combined to miss 87% of their NBA playing time so far).

I mean, don’t you think you should let Simmons and Embiid play a season or two each before declaring it “110% worth it.” Is 8 straight years of horrible basketball worth it if both those guys lose their career to consistent injuries?

Not to mention how much it costs just in travel to get to most of these places. If you already paid hundreds of dollars in either gas or airfare to get close enough to get to these parks, an extra $35 isn’t going to be what prevents a low income family from going.

Is this comment about the avalanche serious?

Just a reminder that ESPN makes far more money from cable subscriber fees than it does from advertisers. ESPN is hemoragging money because the younger more diverse audience it hires someone like Hill to speak to is cutting out cable and deciding they don’t need ESPN. Prioritizing 36% of your revenue at the cost of…

You are going to be really disappointed when you read about the ongoing attempts by the NFL to hide information and deceive both the public and players about medical research into the effects of sub-concussive head trauma.

Out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about coal miners in the age of relaxed coal mine safety regulations?

“I read that the author of this book criticized slutwalks and other really important things that feminists around the country are using to bring awareness to the masses.”

You can support the fight as a necessary effort to expand Democratic reach in rural and traditionally conservative areas while also acknowledging the reality that winning an election against Ted Cruz in Texas in 2018 as a progressive Democrat looks like one hell of a long shot.

He was a piece of shit before he was in high school?

Just to clarify, there were DECADES of rumors about Cosby before anyone actually came forward and was willing to attach their name to an accusation against him. Even looking at his current accusers, there are people who say he assaulted them in 1965 who didn’t come forward to the press about it until 2005. The first…
