Your premise is flawed, in that you are assuming he ever takes any of them off.

Holy shit. You’re blowing my mind here because that is a legit toss up. If he has 3 scarves/quasi-scarves/frayed rope...things (?) pre-draped for each vest - and I’m sure he’s got conservatively 50 vests - he’s gotta have hundreds of neck accressories.

Unrelated, but if you want to waste a solid 5 minutes or so, try to exact a count on Johnny Depp’s accessories to his neck, arms, and hands in that picture.

You’d want to be trained for the aquatic version as well, going up against Russian navy seals.

I think he IS developing into that. Last year, Rubio had stretches of games where he was hitting 3 pointers and long jumpers, but then stretches of a bunch of air balls. This season he started out on fire, had an elbow injury that set him back, but since about Valentines Day, he has been really good shooting (for…

Serious question: How can someone like Rubio not develop into at least a 35-40% 3p shooter? That’s all he has to do to become a legit top-7/8 pg in the NBA (and maybe higher). Why isn’t he working non-stop with Ray Allen over a summer to figure this out?

“Hey John, have you won anything yet?”

Jim: “Hey John, have you won anything yet?”

Man, imagine these guys announcing Cavs-Rockets. “Harden for three—no good. Ah, he couldn’ care less, he’s having a ball, loves life and exercise.” “Out of bounds, they’re reviewing to see who touched it last. Doesn’t really matter, does it.”

I think the issue is the policy in which players can be dismissed so easily and the lack of guarantees in their pay.

I’m not that familiar with the pay strucutres in the NFL but over the years, I know their pay structure practice helps foster this kind of environment and practice..

You mean we can control web traffic to this site with our comments on the articles??

You mean when Deadspin got leg dropped?

Realize: this is a man whose mean-spirited competitiveness turned off *Larry Bird*.

For the laypeople here: torodol isn’t a controlled substance, but it is a HIGHLY effective pain killer, (when I had surgery a few years ago I had a dilaudid pump which didn’t help with shit, but torodol put me out of my misery so I could sleep.) It’s indicated for “pain relief at the narcotic level. It’s also…

We’ve seen this many times with Lebron team, get swept in regular season then dispatch pretty easily in the playoffs. I.E Atlanta two years ago and Toronto last year. Chicago when with the Heat.

People wanted a “businessman,” right? This is what businessmen do. But the government isn’t a goddamn business.

Hell, for that matter, “great offense, not much defense” describes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I take issue with your first point. As far as overall player talent, I agree that Westbrook isn’t as good as any of those guys (except Harden) on a night to night basis. But as far as who would I pick to lead a team in a one-game playoff scenario, I would only put James in front of him. When Westbrook goes supernova…

I am absolutely not exaggerating when I say that I assumed you had made up this whole quote for the sake of humor, but then I saw that it was credit to Douthat (and google informed me that he had in fact written a book entitled “Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class,” although that sounded like a…
