Looks like Kei has Murray next (on Wednesday):

Let’s try an analogy — Someone starts college and goes to the first day of classes, but then gets sick and can’t continue so he withdraws. Finally is healthy enough to return a year later. His second year of classes you’d consider him a Junior/3rd Year rather than a Sophomore/2nd Year?

How can we get John Wall on that team? Grunfeld might be dumb enough to trade him for Jrue Holiday and a draft pick.

Years ago I used to play Out Of the Park Baseball (a baseball management sim) and I happened to trade for Zobrist the first time I ever played. He turned into a fantastic player and helped me win the WS a few times. After that, whenever I would start a new game with a different franchise, he was always my first…

Yes. Don’t. It’s funny for the first hour but gets really painful.

If Trump could grow facial hair I’d assume he was the Bearded Man:

It’s 100% true. Again, only the *sugar free* sort, because they use sugar alcohols which can’t really be digested the same way sugars are. This leads to your body basically dumping water into your digestive system to flush it all out (if you’ve had a lot of the candy with sugar alcohol in it). For me, this led to a…

Just the “sugar free” ones. Once crushed a big bag of sugar free gummies during a movie and then didn’t leave the bathroom for 6hrs once I got home.

So YOU’RE the one behind the chemtrails?

My only disappointment is that it wasn’t an Ace on the river to hammer home his elimination. It may feel like Benger overreacted, but that’s only because we haven’t had to spend as much time around Kassouf as he has.

How did this make it out of the greys?

It seems odd to reference the top four in the title of the article but then only mention 3 of the current top 4 before skipping to Nadal at 5th.

Props to the Jays for using a hockey air horn after he scores. Not surprising given that it’s Canada, but that’s the perfect sound for a walk-off.

I know at least one message board I frequented joked constantly about how nearly every single up the middle went “past a diving Jeter” -- in fact I want to say there was even a NYC joint that had a menu item called “Pasta Diving Jeter”, but that could have just been hearsay.

I agree completely. I’m not sure I had a point in there, but format is definitely the biggest issue for me. Even something like Around the Horn was painful to watch compared to PTI and that wasn’t all based on personality. That said, I wholeheartedly think Kornheiser and Wilbon see the bigger picture of sports and its…

There still hasn’t been a show capable of doing this better than PTI. They don’t beat an issue to death and when they agree on something, the other person adds something materially useful to the discussion. They can be just as annoying as any other pair, but PTI has the best format and two hosts who can be enormous…

This exactly. I won’t pretend she isn’t a sore loser to some small degree, but so is nearly every other player in the circuit. And if we’re going to call Serena out for her attitude when losing, we have to note Pliskova’s Djokovic-like arrogance when winning. Her interviews were extremely awkward in her dismissal of…

I still think Jim Bouton had a great take on this in ‘Ball Four’ almost 50 years ago that rings just a true today:

I absolutely lost it. +1000
