For what it’s worth, my hunch is that the most depressing and least revealing of explanations is the truest one: That these Clippers, for all their flaws, mostly were undone by a series of unrelated bad breaks, and with a bit of the sort of mundane good fortune that befalls all eventual sports champions—the ones that…

If I know Balmer, the Clippers will be more stable after a small update and a reboot.

So keep Chris Paul, trade for Melo, and go from there?

*extremely economistic-thinker voice* Perhaps if the players were receiving fair market value for their services in these enormously profitable bowl games, they’d be more inclined to play in them.

Couldn’t this be extended to beyond bowl games? I mean what’s to stop a top sophomore from just sitting out his whole junior year? Or skipping the non-conference fluff games? I wouldn’t be surprised to start seeing those things happen more often. And I hope that they do.

Don’t use lean meat.

So they let the GM run the draft which will presumably dictate the shape of the franchise over the next few years, and promptly fire him immediately afterwards so that some other guy can take over the GM duties with both players and a coach he hasn’t picked?

How dare you!

No one should want to replace him. If he is out, Pence is in. Pence is both competent and an extremist on many fronts. It’s better to have Trump in there doing nothing.

His only accomplishment so far has been not trading up for Mitch Trubisky.

His entire presidency summed up in a single image.

Scientology is really not comparable to Islam, or any other established faith with centuries of history and millions upon millions of followers.

In a piece that went up on HuffPost this morning, Moss now says that the show is definitely feminist and she is a “card-carrying feminist,” which I find confusingly contradictory to what she’s said before, but good for her!
