Yeah, I think the nail in the coffin was seeing Lebron have to turn on every afterburner he possessed just to barely squeeze by in seven games a middling team nobody had a lot of expectations for, only for 48 hours later an even more tired Lebron to show up in Toronto, miss a bunch of shots and not really try to win…

...we now have proof that relying on them at their absolute best just gets you a 4-1 loss in the second round of the NBA playoffs—the worst possible outcome in sports.

Rubbing the last bits of this on my gums

I’m rock hard right now

Messi has been great, sure, but his team got bounced from the CL by Roma ( a team Liverpool just lit up for 5 goals ). The CL usually counts for more in the Ballon d’Or race than league accomplishments do. Messi wasn’t the best player in the Champions league this season ( Ronaldo has been ) and the World Cup still…

Dyslexia’s a hell of a drug
