Perhaps it’s 3-1 lead poisoning.

This was a really special team. They were sitting at 11 and goddamn 30 with no hope of a turnaround and every excuse to quit, in a league that has gotten to the point where tanking on one end and resting players on the other is encouraged. The NBA landscape is ripe for teams to give up individual games and entire…

“It still up for grabs?”

It is quite the obsession. Also, Simmons was a bigger name than Jonah Keri before Grantland, and continues to be, and the notion that Keri therefore did more for Grantland than vice-versa (I had never heard of him) is pretty laughable. I mean, I wouldn’t pick a fight over it, but there is the statement, the kind of…

Drugs, made by school teachers!

Interestingly, the creatures that are our most remote ancestors had no anus so their shit literally came out of their mouths. Seems like this learned behaviour thing can last hundreds of millions of years eh Pete.

Forget racism; the logic behind that paragraph is so frighteningly dumb that this man should not be a paid writer.

Are we sure Drew Magary didn’t write this?

Ridiculous suggestion. Even if it were true that Peterson was descended from slaves that wouldn’t be the reason why he hit his kid, that would only explain his strength and agility while doing so.

Really makes my dad’s favorite way to threaten me, “I’ll hit you so hard your great grandkids will feel it,” seem way more fucked up.

I can’t believe people actually think this. Look, I can’t stand Shaq. He’s an obnoxious ass who thinks he’s much funnier than he is, and has never contributed anything of note to what was once the best sports studio show on TV (he’s only made it worse). But people let their feelings about him as a person affect how…

And yet somehow he’s top 10 all-time. Higher than any of the Warriors will ever be.

Or the trade deadline passed, and McGee is on a one-year deal, so by stepping in in this fashion his Free Agent value would rise, thereby making it harder for the Warriors to re-sign him. Good analysis there, bud.

Not a Michigan State fan by any stretch, but that doesn’t seem too egregious of a punishment. Guy has been there 28 years, so he’s probably making around 100k a year. Promotion to tenure is usually somewhere around a 7% bump. So he loses a week of pay and almost 2% of his salary, so you’re saying a fine of basically…

Madden had the student call him Feb. 27, telling her his behavior was inappropriate and that he was “working through some things right now,” adding that he and his wife were having marital issues.

I thought it was Mase, my mistake.

Why’d the whole family blame Kevin for the spilled drinks? Buzz clearly started it, and he should know better since he’s older! It really is unfair. And the cop they sent to the house couldn’t break in and make sure he was safe? Seems like a total failure by every adult involved. So sad.

He’s Fin-ished for the year.
