this is good

you cool if I fapp to this?

Wow, it’s so weird that a Mercedes owner is desperate for other people to like them.

“Next on the Grand Tour...”

Not to mention the old stadium was one of the most charming in all of sports, and my one trip there in 2011 absolutely cemented that opinion for always. I’m sure the new one now is just like all the other new ones. Dull and corporate.

Yeah, no arguments here. That thing looks epic!

Oh has a nice little area in Cooperstown dedicated to him if I recall correctly.

I hear you, but there is just too much money on the line for these guys to go full WWE sadly.

that’s completely fair as a counterpoint haha. But in hindsight I just found that whole situation kind of funny.

I’ve actually learned to love his ‘heel’ turn this season. Sports needs this, and has always had this. Pressure from sponsors has silenced so much of it but it was always there. I also appreciate LeBron’s non-reaction reaction. If we are going to be forced to watch the same two teams in the finals every year, I prefer…
