To add to this: I feel like college basketball has suffered because of this, too. Not Steph exactly, but the realization that 3pt shooting is what matters.

As someone whose toes are about as genetically fucked as they can get, I can tell you that Darnold should be fine. It’s a 4-5 day recovery, and “recovery” just means you wear open-toed shoes.

More than an athlete, my ass.

His response was so breathtakingly stupid.

Ok, fair enough. They can’t admit that the other is capable. So let’s ask, point-blank: what do you, Elizabeth Warren, bring that Sanders doesn’t?

Counter-counter point: your PoV is based around swaying voters who are on the fence, which is the right way to lose the 2020 election.

Excellent take on the Warren/Sanders situation, as always.

How does a player’s height impact gambling? Is there a bet I can take for “maximum combined inches on the court during a game”?

Mike Carey. May his terrible analysis Rest in Peace.

Good to know that the DNC is OK with a candidate buying their way into the debates. That's surely a good message to send to voters.

Wasnt Taco Tuesday trademarked 30 years ago? 

If you’ve ever been to Florida, especially down I-75, the vasectomy part is easy:

I dont watch baseball, but I read enough articles about it and listen to enough sportscasters to have a sense of what fans of baseball want. And from where I sit, what they want isn’t a sport; they want a club, one that is asinine and boring enough that you and I aren’t interested, leaving them to enjoy it their way.
