This is broadly right, but Breen also sucks major bird. He’s a smug scold toward the players and a toady for the league and the refs.

I know he’s a college guy, but what about Clark Kellogg? He grouses at times too, but he at least seems to enjoy Watching And Talking About Basketball. Give me Doris and Clark. 

down three points late in a game? Please remember that you don’t need to take a three-pointer!

Look, I hate him too, but the truth is he’s already dead and his purgatorial punishment is forever sitting courtside to watch the team that became a mega dynasty the second they fired him. Is it fair to the rest of us sinners trying to find our way in this crazy world? No. But maybe Mark can serve as a lesson and we…

Thank you(?). I thought the joke was pretty clear. That Saban DOESN’T miss it because he currently is one. Maybe we’re not doing phrasing anymore?

Drake: I’m going to be the most dislikable courtside presence ever!

Yeah, that’s exactly what she’s saying: that the reporters absolutely knew who he was and chose not to report it.

Yeah, you really aren’t even the same species as him.

Unless you're a young professional athlete the comparisons aren't that good.

He is also a superior athlete with an entourage of trainers and nutritionists and the best medical staff on hand to treat him. 

Just means Steph’s gotta be more shellfish and take 30 shots.

Of all the Boston-area franchises, the Bruins and their fans are objectively the least loathesome. 

As a Blackhawks fan I really never expected to ever cheer for the Blues in a final, but superfuck the Bruins.

Objectivity has no place in this. The Bruins are evil and cannot prevail.
