I am a PSU alumnus who received President Barron’s email/letter. I have felt that PSU has generally tried to respect the victims throughout this entire process but has inadvertently made several missteps because it has tried to quickly resolve a scandal whose resolution requires, among other things, thoughtful and…

Barry, you missed Patty Mills’ foul on Steven Adams. At first he just held Adams a bit to prevent him from setting screens for Ibaka and Durant (nothing too aggressive in an end-game scenario), but then he blatantly held and pulled Adams to keep him from getting open near the end of the 5-count.

It is easy to forget how much athleticism Aldridge packs into a 6'11" 240 Lbs. frame until you see how helpless Ibaka looks guarding him at times in isolation. It is also easy to forget that he has been in the league for 10 seasons and how shitty the 2006 draft was. The top-10 picks in that draft were, in order,…

Barry, can it really be unreasonable for teams to pass on Tunsil with this video and news out there when the NFL has more or less permanently suspended Justin Blackmon and Josh Gordon for weed and alcohol use, and spent the better part of two years (and untold amounts of money) litigating a suspension for Brady over…

Burneko - keep in mind the 2008-09 Cavaliers, led by league MVP LeBron James, took the #1 seed in the East with a 66-16 record, swept the 8th-seeded Pistons in the 1st round (avg. margin of victory: 15.5 points), and swept the 4th-seeded Hawks in the 2nd round (avg. margin of victory: 18.0). It looked like the Cavs…

I am a diehard Browns fan and, for the first time in God knows how long, the Browns have made two consecutive personnel decisions that demonstrate a real, concrete plan that I can support. The team is bereft of talent, so they are smartly maximizing the number of picks they have in what is a deep (but not top-heavy)…

My first job was bagging groceries for $5.25/hr and, though it should have been common sense, we were taught that certain items should always be bagged together but separately from other items (cans/bottles, meats, frozen goods, eggs/bread). Aside from the backaches you get from standing at the end of the grocery belt…

Whoa whoa whoa. You make it sound like killing five hookers at SMU means you don’t get to play in the NFL but, if memory serves correctly, not only do you actually get to play in the NFL, you also get to work for ESPN, have a popular head coach fired, run for Congress, and sue Deadspin for libel.

You raise a valid point, but I think there are two schools of thought on this. One is that when you feel you are a piece or two away from contending, you go for broke and hope it works out because it is so difficult to even get to the point of contending (and you usually need an above-average to great QB to succeed,…

Similar to a tree falling in the woods, if a person tweets about their kid and nobody reads it, does anybody give a shit about little Timmy’s latest “accomplishment”?

Recruiting is extremely vital in the women’s game because a once-every-few-years kind of player (Stewart, Griner, Taurasi, etc.) can transform an average or good team into a dominant one. When Tennessee was at its most dominant, Pat Summitt recruited much like Auriemma is recruiting now, but nobody questions that…

Though reasonable minds may have different opinions on UConn (Is a team winning every game of its season by 10+ points good for the sport? Should everybody else just suck it up and work to beat them? Will Geno ever become a likeable person?), I think everybody can agree with the part about telling Shaughnessy to go…

I don’t generally disagree with that statement as it pertains to the regular season or an early round playoff series; however, if we are specifically talking about a 7-game series against the Warriors, the Spurs chances of winning would drop significantly without Leonard.

If you are trolling you are doing a hell of a job. If you are being serious, then I have to ask - are you talking about the same Kawhi who respectively ranks 2nd, 7th, and 9th in the NBA with a .479 3P%, .576 Adj FG%, and 1.41 PPP, respectively ranks 1st and 3rd on the Spurs in scoring and rebounding at 20.6 PPG and…

The odds of that shot going in were very low.

Unless I am missing something, Lillard actually went on a 12-1 run against the Jazz (the score was 62-49 when he hit his first 3 of the run and 63-58 when he hit his fourth 3 of the run).

Wasting no time after the announcement, Marks has already updated his LinkedIn profile picture:

I think the issue isn’t that he backed out of the fray but that it looked to me like he was going in to try to pick the ball cleanly and make something out of the play until Ware came off of his block to cover up the ball. At that point he was caught in a position where he couldn’t really dive on the ball. To provide…

It’ll be a good 48 hours - a win and a win.
