I think this one is heavily mined for material:

Decision tree:

1) There’s a guy on Steve Kerr’s roster who played an essential role in their success.

But especially that team. Maybe Donovan is great...but man, that talent with a guy who has a track record of adjusting a system to maximize the talent of his players.

Huh?

Also, why are these teams hacking the Clippers at all? Their biggest weakness is depth. When Griffin was covering for Paul, he was burned by the end of the game, and rightfully so - he was playing at an incredible rate with no one to give him a breather.

Like someone who makes a bad argument on the internet, then receives a deluge of rape and death threats forcing me to side with the person making the bad argument, your Simmons obsession has conscripted me into his defense.

You guys have total Simmons blindness. Earlier today your website (rightly) mocks an old moldy bit of nonsense from Bob Costas - a grumpy old man raging against the “look at me” generation.

This toy line (and a few others from that time) reinforce the importance of inclusiveness in these sorts of products.

1) This was written for me, God Bless.

With the typical “I know everyone here gets pissy about Simmons” caveat, if he was really “fired” for that trivial nonsense after generating easily the two best ESPN products of the last half decade - Grantland and 30 for 30 - that’s some serious bullshit.

What? You don’t find anything intriguing about someone who no longer works at a company not being aware of that company’s personnel decisions? This is a deep, dark conspiracy. Hopefully Deadspin’s staff will not rest until they’ve gotten to the bottom of this.

THIS GETS MORE INTERESTING WITH EACH POST!!!!

Only problem: which one was the actual asshole.

Yeah, but Johnny Football, dawg...

Indeed. Pay attention to whichever undrafted RB they sign to their practice squad who will take over after McFadden’s week 4 injury. Want that guy on your fantasy team.

Fair enough. You’re clearly on top of things, so I yield to your authority. I was just operating on the number of times people have claimed a deal was impossible only to watch it happen.

We’ll see.

Still need a running back...
