I can’t even come up with a second place finisher for Most Exciting Football Player of My Lifetime. That quality of commonplace excellence that you describe is part of what made it so shocking to me when he retired at 30. His ability to seemingly do whatever the damn hell he wanted created the illusion that he could…

“who is the orange man?”

This is all fine — and I guess we’re entering into pretty semantic territory on what “working out” means, so I should probably just drop it — but I’m honestly not sure any of this matters. By your own admission “there’s no demand by TBS for the show to compete,” so whom is it not working out for? If you offered pretty…

I mean, sure, the show may not be doing well right now, but that is not the same question as whether, in the macro sense, his move to TBS “worked out.” They have aired his show for nine years. I’m sure they would not have done that if it were an abject failure. If no one ever watches it again, it still worked out.

I’m not sure how you can say that a show that’s been running for nine years “isn’t really working out.”

All things are possible in the multiverse.

As a Knicks fan, so am I.

As fun as this sounds, there would seem to be a problem with the central conceit of the game: isn’t being famous pretty much the opposite of what you want if you’re a smuggler?

I am so exhausted.

This is incredible kinja.

I have no idea what this means, but I’m 100% in.

What...what is “pickle ball”? I am afraid to Google this.

Boy those Chubs are going to be sore tomorrow.

As a heat fan

Nah.

If by “copy” you mean “something written with words,” then there’s a better chance of me levitating to work tomorrow than Donald ever reading it, unless he’s fooled into thinking it’s a tweet about how great he is -- and even then he’ll give up after 10 words when he doesn’t see his name.

I only realized this like two weeks ago and it blew my fucking mind.

Am I to understand that you are referring to this? Because I’m somewhat confident that a blog that includes the phrase “an actual velociraptor would not sit out Game 5 of the NBA Finals” is meant as a joke.

Well, I would argue that prime-Dirk was more versatile than that (sounds more like late-career-Dirk to me), but I guess that’s a nitpicky argument and I’ve already completely bored myself.

Durant—who’ll likely miss all of next season recovering from a ruptured Achilles suffered in the Finals, but who seems a fairly safe bet to return to some form of excellence afterward
