Can’t wait for them to start putting Clippers jerseys on the statues out front of Staples.

Just from being newer, I imagine. Those are the Kobe-Pau banners. I think.

Fair warning: At some point early this season Ingram and LeBron are going to combine for 50+ in a win over the Warriors or the Rockets and I am going to become absolutely insufferable for months. I’m talking replies that are just the banners in Staples Center, gifs of Jack laughing courtside, assertions that Magic was…

Sat in the Pavilion behind right field earlier this year and there were a bunch of guys trying to start a Max Muncy chant to the tune of “Brass Monkey.” They couldn’t pull it together because they were arguing about the rest of the lyrics, and it was pretty fucking hilarious.

God, man. How many times does this have to repeat? The 1890s, the 1920s, the 1950s, twice in the 1980s and early ‘90s, and most recently 2008. Tax cuts and deregulation produce a spike in Wall Street growth, then it all comes crashing down into recession or depression because it is not in any way sustainable.

But a lesser deal than the Pan Pacific Agreement would have been. Don’t kid yourself. The US lost ground in this deal. The only people who made out are drug company execs and Jeff Bezos. And the taxpayers of all three nations got absolutely hosed.

They don’t have dilemmas. That would require intellectual honesty.

Golf. Curling is making a run, but the fact that Tiger remains an anomaly a couple decades after his debut puts golf over the top.

Venomous creatures. Any time an Australian does something odd and athletic, it’s to escape/ward off/kill venomous creatures.
