The Patriots can ship Jesus Christ himself over to the Jets with high confidence the Jets will wear him out, fuck him over and leave him demoralized enough to go back to Heaven with his tail between his legs before you can say “Easter.”

Thomas signed with New England in April after being cut by Houston in February. He looked great in preseason, and while the Patriots cut him days later, they did so with the intention of re-adding him to the roster. They signed him to a one-year deal two days after cutting him [in August], but once Antonio Brown…

Two weeks later, I was gone. So, it’s like, ‘Why did I waste my time?’

I don’t believe any of this.

I feel bad, but I gotta assume he is not that good a player, because there is no way the Pats would send a player they thought was good to the Jets.

Some people are like that. They can be genuinely kind, smart, engaging individuals in relaxed settings, but any sort of competition turns them into raging assholes. And with professional athletes, competing with millions of dollars at stake on the biggest stage, it’s even more extreme.

And by “They don’t land in a situation that’ll help them maximize their talents.” We mean they end up being drafted by Michael Jordan. 

I don’t know. Darko might be a prime example of what Draymond is talking about (Larry Brown has never been the greatest developer of young talent). He was a seven footer with athleticism, a soft touch, and the ability to hit a three. That kind of sounds like the prototypical modern big man. Maybe it was him being…

He’s kind of like the Richard Sherman of the NFL in his wavering between smart, thoughtful, outspoken guy and complete asshole.

There are, of course, so-called draft busts who are only considered such because some team drafted them 20-30 spots ahead of where they should have gone, due to incompetent personnel management. The example that springs to the mind of this particular Chicagoland native is Eddy Curry, but probably the most salient one…

Draymond Green’s a dick-and-balls-kicking asshole but he’s also right a lot of the time. For every can’t miss prospect like LeBron or KD or Zion, there’s a dozen guys every year who have the potential to have long, productive careers in the NBA and never get it because they don’t land in a situation that’ll help them…

He’s not wrong. Of course then the Knicks are out here wondering how certain teams keep getting lucky all the time. Truly a mystery. 

...that’s a strangely specific thing to always have said.

It seems worth mentioning that the GB vs DET hail mary highlight the NFL loves to show as an example of their fine drama was also the result of a phantom hands to the face call on the previous play.

As a Lions fan you can only see this shit play out so many times before you start to question why you bother to watch NFL…

Why do people watch this sport again?

It’s like I’ve always said: if you eat a stranger’s ass in the parking lot before the game, your mouth will probably taste like ass afterwards.

My tin-hat theory is that the NFL will not allow the Lions to win until they give back the Thanksgiving game so that the NFL can have it in a bigger market. 

Now to be fair - it’s not as though literally EVERY SINGLE KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON predicted EXACTLY THIS OUTCOME.

This argument sucks, man! George W. Bush isn’t a lost child; he was the president. He saw photos of the torture, from the man who approved of that torture, and then he stood up for that guy. I linked to this in the blog, which I’m now not sure you fully read.

oh thank god somebody said it. gwb wasn’t bad, he just oopsie-doopsied the country backwards into a pointless war that killed untold numbers of innocent people and eroded all kinds of civil liberties for our citizens. the road to hell isn’t paved with anything, so we can just give him a sticker for trying his best and…
