I don’t think it was the long lead that got Merrifield picked off, it was the staring at his phone to the exclusion of all external stimuli.

Scouting report: Possesses the rare combination of being a zero-tool guy, while also being a tool.

Rodman: “Obama wouldn’t even listen to me. He blew me off.”

I started to tear up a little myself, but that’s mainly because I just found out my wife is sleeping with my dog.

Like just imagine describing today’s events to literally anyone five years ago. They would have you fucking committed. It sounds too insane to even be the stuff of dreams or psychedelics and yet here we are living it.

i buy all of your argument, except it’s not because he sucked (although yes he does) that he couldn’t score an NFL team - lots of NFL owners suck.

Bullshit. Trump nearly CRUSHED the NFL with the USFL. Or maybe you don’t remember the fat fucking deal he cut with the NFL to buy them out. Let me remind you.

Do crimes, create diversion. Repeat.

What the hell is a celebration of the flag? It’s just a goddamned flag. Sure, it’ supposed to represent American ideals, and all that, but it’s just a flag.

It also plays well for his base

This is the most reasonable analysis I’ve read.

This whole thing is just a continuation of his beef stemming from the USFL days. The NFL wouldn’t let him in their club back then (because they knew he sucked), and so now he’s using his position to enact some form of revenge.

Everyone wants to blame this on J.R., but they’re forgetting about the Cav who took a poor defensive risk at the end of Q2, leaving Curry open for the 30 foot 3 pointer that he buried at the buzzer... Oh wait... that was J.R. too? never mind...

This is on Tyronn Lue. If he had put the Roomba in instead of JR Smith, this never would have happened.

As a Knicks fan, I’ve had the J.R. experience. Just think of what this guy could have done in his career if he had the brain of a normal human being. So gifted and yet, the very definition of a space cadet.

I am shocked that J.R. was spaced out on a play. Shocked.

Hopefully Richie racked that dumbbell afterwards, I don’t want to think he’s an asshole or anything.

Always wrangling truthers.

Or, you could have a boss who’s quietly competent and professional, and respects boundaries?

he just keeps trying while being deliciously heckled by everyone around him.
