The point was never that it was illogical to choose not to pay free agents in their early 30s huge contracts. People agree the owners are acting logically. The point was that the system is seriously rigged against the players when they don’t get to free agency until their early 30s only to find owners have wised up…

Well, that worked out. Right after he scored the massive deal, he drops off a cliff. Couldn’t happen to a nicer franchise, except if it was the Yanks.

Parks and Recreation.

Oh shit...This whole thing was just a snowglobe Bran kept looking at.

I’m pretty sure that doing something unimpressive and forgettable that still inspires eighteen thousand thinkpieces a day on The Ringer is basically the ending the show deserves. 

Is it odd that I believe the two of them? Like, can’t it be true that their relationship was better than perhaps it was portrayed, still maybe not perfect but better, and that still a lot of guys got alienated somehow or another along the way?

I remain perplexed by fans who want to mortgage “wow, it’s super fun to root for a team full of interesting dudes who like playing with each other” for “maybe in a few years we could possibly make some real noise so let’s suck interminably.”

C’mon, this is way better and more fun than tanking. They’re playing meaningful basketball in the spring! You get to root for them in at least one playoff series! This is great.

Steelers are paying Shazier a salary, keeping him on their health insurance, and helping his rehabilitation. Steelers are also leaving open to the door to him playing again, which may not be possible nor the best idea, but is Shazier’s goal nonetheless. And the Steelers are milking it? To get out of the grays on…

as soon as the ball bounced off his foot, it’s essentially a loose ball, in possession of nobody.

Haha! I fully admit I have no idea other than the twitter videos posted above and an interview with Bret. But he seemed to be moving pretty well.

Oh god, you’re one of those goons who thinks Roman Reigns’ leukemia was a work too, aren’t you. 

I guess?

I can’t look at him during his first assistant coaching job without seeing Vincent Adultman:

Seriously, how does Deadspin (or GMG in general) not have a filing category of “Failing Upward” yet?

Not that sketchy, depending on how much she paid into the benefit. She retired in 2012 as a coach and died 4 years later, but probably paid into the system since 1974. That benefit was part of her salary. And while she ended up making over $2 million per year at the end of her run, at the start she made less than $10K…

Dammit, you’ve been dying to bust that out and SLAY someone for a while now, haven’t you? Then when you finally do you use it totally wrong and out of context.

Not for nothing, but my high school basketball coach raped two players, molested another, and was grooming a fourth (me) when he was caught. And his brother was the head coach. And his wife taught at the school and spent a ton of time around the program. It didn’t stop him. You can’t supervise someone 100% of the…

The Bucks can legitimately beat the Warriors.
