I attended a DC United match there their last season.

Who would have thought that an aging Hall-of-Famer joining a team of kids who’ve yet to learn how to win would not mesh to deliver a contender?

Sadly, there will always be some dictator or despot who thinks pouring a few of the stolen billions from his people into the IOC’s coffers will allow him to buy some international good will. That’s really all that is left for the Olympics after the next few take place. Wait for the Olympic Village in Pyongyang. It’s…

The problem the NBA cannot fix is that having a star is the end-all/be-all solution to getting your team out of the bottom of the well. And unless you live in one of the marquee markets with a situation tailored for immediate success, you aren’t getting a star. Kevin Durant might listen to the sales pitch from the…

The tampering was Rich Paul leaking it to the press on Monday morning. He sent them AD’s letter Friday night but by Monday Woj is dropping his bombs. Only reason to do so was to force the Pels to make the deal now and not later like they wanted. Thus tampering

This is the NBA forcing the Pelicans to do this. It’s not the team making the decision but the league in order to A) prevent this story from getting bigger and B) trying to preserve what little kayfabe anyone has about the competitive integrity of the NBA. As if half the league didn’t just throw in the towel in the…

Have them playing somewhere in the wilds of Death Valley. Just build a makeshift stadium or better yet, have the fans bring their own lawn chairs and whatnot. Truly embrace the Mad Max vibe that the Raiders love.

Ratto on Deadspin.

Is Da U going full “Necessary Roughness/The Replacements” on us now?

So the Pelicans are looking out for the Pelicans?

Tawmmy from Quinzee. Gone but never forgotten.

So what good is the cap space this deal would give the Pelicans if no one wants to take it?

<i>Nor does simple shame ever seem to factor in.</i>

Saints fans were throwing a party, dude. Ain’t no one had time to go sit by the TV and watch that mess.

I laughed at that queso Perino made. I still laugh at it.

New Orleans threw a massive party with four huge second-lines against the NFL and a big ole event that included Big Freedia, Choppa and the Rebirth Brass Band.

“FUCK YO COUCH! FUCK YO COUCH!” - Knicks management to their fans.

Tell Kristaps, “Son, if we land the Number One pick, you gonna be eating gumbo and jambalaya every day in New Orleans. So just chill, OK?”

Every project in football has to point to something won to justify its efforts. Whether that’s Real Madrid winning 3 Champions League titles in a row or Portsmouth winning the FA Cup and being relegated days later. For all the glittering success that Poch and his squad of young talents have had year in and year out,…

I am surprised no playoff contending team is jumping in to the Jrue sweepstakes. Dude is a leader on and off the court. Does all the hard work asked of him. Defends as well as he assists and scores. He seems like the type of player San Antonio or Indiana would beg to have.
