Have they considered just not paying players and instead offer them experience and worthless degrees?

If a coach can’t teach or motivate his players without screaming at them, he has failed as a coach. Izzo’s a fine coach. His player would want to win the game without being screamed at. They would hear whatever he was trying to inform them about in terms of boxing out or rotating on defense. The screaming is just…

Red Vines suck, they taste weird and plasticy. But RV vs Twiz is a regional thing. My CA husband is RV all the way and I grew up in PA.

Jabrill can finally step out from the shadow of his Toledo Peppers brethren, Brian J.

OBJ is four years younger, maybe that factored in?

I think in this situation you have to ask though whether or not “more marketable” is code for shameful, ridiculous prejudice against Hispanic ballplayers or for fairly reasonable, understandable prejudice against people from Florida.

I'd like to think that at least one team is looking for prospects who would have the nerve to say, "What kind of stupid-ass bullshit is this?" But then I remember that it's the authority-humping NFL, where anything less than complete subservience is the equivalent of gonhorrea.

It should be like high school athletics where your 250 pound sociology teacher with the flop sweat is also the assistant basketball coach, and he makes a whopping extra $800 to be the assistant JV basketball coach. If the college coaches had to also be professors at the college, and they would not being able to make…

What the fuck do you people want? When the trade falls apart, you piss and moan about the Pelicans sitting Anthony Davis for the rest of the year. Then the Pelicans, thanks to an assist from Davis’ agent, are forced to play him. Then he leaves a game with an injury, and you bitch about how he should be put “back on…

A dumpster fire of an organization isn’t necessarily at fault in a dumpster fire of a situation. At this point, I am on team Pelicans. They have more to lose by playing him than they have to gain. AD and Rich Paul (and LeBron, by extension) got themselves into this mess. If they want him to be traded, then this is the…

pretending Jaylen Brown is so much better a prize than what was being offered that this fucking farce of a stretch run is totally worth it

How dare the pelicans not give the Lakers what they want, then they have the audacity to try and preserve the one trade piece that may help rebuild the franchise in the off-season!  It's almost like they are trying to maximize thier return on the superstar that, with 16 months left on his contract, very publicly…

The tragedy of LeBron not getting to select his teammates via his own agent continues unabated.

I’m sure I’d be looked at like a heathen for saying this, but I actually like my omelets to be a little bit golden brown on the outside. I think it adds texture to the dish. 

Why would anyone pay $5 a month or $40 a year when everything else is free?

“Rosario Is Ready To Take The Mets To The Next Level”

Does he think porn is real?

It isn’t about “rich vs rich,” it’s “generational wealth in the billions” vs first-time rich guys with a limited earning period. It’s about these billions of dollars coming into MLB and being kept by the billionaires instead of distributed to the talent.

The NFL’s Brand Equity is lodged in America’s taint.

That ship sailed when the Pelicans decided to spend the pre-deadline period basically trolling the Lakers instead of replying in good faith to what could still very well wind up being the best trade offer out there.
