Are we all just calling layups dunks now?

I don’t think you can assume malice, that’s a stretch. There’s obviously intent insofar as he’s trying to draw a foul the same way Harden throws his hands up at the slightest bit of contact, Jamal Crawford kicks his legs into defenders to draw contact, the way Kobe did the same, the way CP3, LBJ, Blake, Wade, etc etc…

I genuinely hope Kuechly announces his retirement in the coming days/weeks.

Is it just me or is Murray the least fun top-10 player to root for? I’ll admit I’m a big Nishikori fan, but even when Murray was hitting great shots today he consistently followed those up with chippy comments to the chair umpire, his box, and even the poor ballboys. I know he’s “hot-tempered” and all that, but at a…

... and the Thunder lost by 16.

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.
