As a Rams fan I just want to fucking puke. We (and Bradford) don't deserve this. Spend years building up a contender and now that we have one, we're in the hardest division in football and our quarterback can't stay healthy, all the while we pass on top QB prospects with him in mind.

Ignoring the horrible sexism and whatnot, shouldn't this ad have been nixed for simply being a horrible advertisement for FS1? In what universe does this make someone want to watch the channel?

"The rest of this decade" is a bit of a stretch to guarantee. LeBron is almost 30 and nearing the end of his prime- he's already played, what, 10 years? He probably has another 3-4 years max at his unbelievable max that he's at right now. Then what? Try to win titles with two offensive studs who play no defense and a…

Of course there is nothing wrong with winning now, but I like to think in terms of total championship potential, and with Wiggins, Bennet, and a bunch of first round picks next year, they had championship potential well past LeBron's prime. Now, LeBron's prime will be shorter (less help defensively) and there is no…

Am I the only one who thinks Cleveland destroyed its long-term championship window by trading two tremendously young, talented wings (and a pick) for an older star who can't play defense? Wiggins, whether or not he panned out offensively, was a virtual guarantee to be a defensive stud from day 1 who could guard the…

Am I the only one who hasn't been blocked (on Twitter) by a sports personality and is now really tempted to make that happen right now?

No this is really fucking stupid.

I really like the end take you have about journalism as a whole, about how we've kind of overwrought objectivity in today's media. In the past, media perfectly objective, but spoke up about the issues that were obviously one sided. Can you imagine going back to the 1950s or 60s and reading a piece defending BOTH SIDES…

Can we all just appreciate the line "you should hire some cunning linguist"- or, as it looks as its typed in the video "cunninglinguist".... that is word play at its absolute best.

God that Sterling part is so uncomfortable.

The east is going to be so, so, so god awful next season. It's going to be so much fun, though, in both conferences considering in one, there are 5 really good teams and maybe 6 more above average ones, and in the other there are 5 above average teams and 5 more decent ones. Competition will be great in the east, even…

Maybe saying making it up is too strong, I'm sure he had some sort of source telling him all that he said was true, but I would guess he took a flier on a "this is what could happen, but it very well might not" type of source. I'd guess he did have sources telling him LeBron was going to Cleveland, but he couldn't…

Tremendously intrigued by all of this, but isn't it all explained in the Jenkins/LeBron piece and the following news? LeBron met with Dan Gilbert on the Sunday before the piece, meaning he couldn't possibly have decided before that therefore anyone who had the "scoop" before that day was incorrect, even if they said…

Great piece, loved the last line.

I think he did grow and mature, but it is shocking just how quickly he was forgiven. His letter impressed me and I think it was more truthful than it is given credit for here, but nonetheless, he still basically made the same decision as four years ago (better team with more future promise) announced in a different…

I think you kind of just made my point, in saying they don't need Wade to be great: LeBron will make just about anyone compete for titles. You might want to take a look at Nate Silver's piece about how LeBron shouldn't go to EITHER Miami or Cleveland if he truly wants titles. LeBron is so good that he immediately…

Pat Riley did not build "a roster" that made four straight finals, he had LeBron. He deserves mountains of credit for bringing LeBron (and Bosh) to Miami, but even the Milwaukee Bucks would have a high chance of making the Finals from the East with LeBron. He's that good. Dan Gilbert is a piece of trash, no doubt, but…

I agree that ESPN has done a surprisingly good job with its World Cup coverage, but I can't help but feel that's only because soccer is so un-Americanized (not un-American, un-Americanized) that ESPN can't ESPN-ify it. There are no talking head journalists with terrible ethics (cough*ChrisBroussard*cough) on screen…

With the amount soccer has grown over the last 4 years in the US, why do anything significantly differently, though? I'm 19 years old and growing up I was one of the few kids who didn't play soccer or want to play soccer, although I'm a fan now, and I think that proves that the interest in the game itself is more than…

I think this is actually a somewhat useful list, surprisingly... The idea of an American commentator is really good, I think, although I do have somewhat of a love affair for Ian Darke after the last 3 weeks.
