Carmelo after his trade to the Clippers: “Look at this video. You can pass man. I don’t know why you keep scoring when you can pass it to me.”

Man, did anyone handle the Great Conference Realignment roller coaster of a few years ago better than the nu-Big East divesting themselves from the football-school trash that became the American Athletic Conference?

If I’m not mistaken, Reggie Jackson was outstanding in the preseason, but when you sign a guy nicknamed Mr. October, not sure what you are expecting during the NBA regular season?

I don’t get it: if you’re a freelance editor and you’re offered a job that doesn’t pay enough, you turn it down. How is it the fault of the customer (LostNUnbound) if he’s soliciting services at a particular rate and you agree to it?

Fuck you, Michael Jordan. Lebron James is the best basketball player ever.

Paterno probably could have avoided the injury had he not been too busy looking the other way.

It looks like a new era of dominating bigs is starting. With Towns, Embiid, Simmons? (we’ll see when he plays, but looked good preseason), Cousins, and a few others.

He could go 6-10 and take the lead for most career losses.

OH NO. A SPOILER ABOUT A SHOW FEATURING DRAGONS. MY LIFE IS RUINED.

Fun fact: if Jeff Fisher goes 7-9 this year, he will be tied for all time most career coaching losses.

If you switch the numbers in this chart, it applies to Russell Wilson instead

Popovich: How have you been enjoying the carrot cakes?

Men’s Swimming Olympic Gold Medals since 1896:

You are a good sports blogger, Barry, but you fundamentally misunderstand the appeal of sports if you prefer replay review to live action.

This is a correct take on replay. Definitive real-time calls, even if they’re occasionally wrong, are superior to always having to sit around waiting for a committee with a television to tell you what it was you just saw happen.

Phil Jackson wasn’t horribly off-base when he declared Steph Curry to be a flash in the pan.

That Refs(and especially Umps) getting calls wrong from time to time is preferable to replays on anything close.

The thing that always astonished me was his footwork and athleticism. You always hear of big guys losing their effectiveness deep into their age due to health and movement fading away, but he kept himself in prime condition, leaning out over the years to make sure his main tool on offense was still there.

Lupica’s got some nerve ragging on Durant for joining the Warriors while simultaneously wearing Steph Curry’s sneakers.

Dessert Strike was wayyyyyy better than Jungle or Urban Strike.
