Because of earlier policy that suspended liberal staffers for making political statements? Did you not see the big link in the middle of the story? Oh my god Esteban, HAVE YOU GONE BLIND?!?!?

I used to hate on him pretty hard, but then I caught the Rockets-Bucks game in Milwaukee earlier this year. Went to twenty games this season, and he had the single-sweetest move I saw the whole year. Bucks challenging late, the Rockets need a bucket. I can’t remember who was guarding him, let’s say Brandon Knight, and…

I love this thread.

You can move into the space next to my car rental agency, which offers four sizes of vehicles: hybrid, Toyota, diesel, and red.

Can I get a Flapjack in a monogrammed thermos?

No, it makes perfect sense. They also serve Chili (chips with melted cheese and guacamole), hot dogs (round patties of ground beef on a round bun), and turkey sandwiches (sandwiches made with ham).

Pinkham’s Law strikes again.

I, for one, am sick and tired of this white appropriation of black culture.

Running around whilst freaking out at a dunk is OUR thing. Get your own reaction.

oh, burn!!!

Starbucks has positively sensible naming conventions compared to a beer bar I worked in. Instead of listing the ounces, they named the four sizes pilsner, draught, tall boy, and hofbrau, which were 12, 18, 26, and 38 ounces respectively.The first of these is a type of beer, the middle two are serving styles that do…

Shaq’s backup on the Lakers was Mark Madsen. Phil Jackson would rest Shaq, because he goddamn needs rest, and would trot Mark Madsen out there. There’s no way he makes up for the loss of production of Shaq on the bench, but as long as he doesn’t severely cripple you, it’s worth the tradeoff. I highly doubt Spencer…

Yeah, they had such little focus that they beat Houston in Game 1 on the road.

I feel like we have two people on this fucking thing that invented the BMI, which would be weird cause it was invented before the Civil War...

I’m sure you’ve tried to do too much at once and half-assed something. That probably didn’t qualify you as an asshole or a hack.

Well, as I said (I’m also a former fan), he stopped evolving as a writer because writing ceased to be his sole focus and primary vehicle. Were he to be forced into a situation where writing was again his only outlet, I have no doubt that he produce better, more thought provoking pieces.

Look at the lineup he assembled for Grantland. Those are some talented folks. I think it’s pretty clear that he can recruit, motivate and retain talent. There’s also the 30 for 30 series and his podcasts

I’m pretty sure the “90 minutes” refers to the amount of time during the month that ESPN.com’s front page prominently linked to a Grantland piece rather than an ESPN piece, not the length of some piece of marketing ESPN did for them. In times past a significant if not the primary portion of their traffic came via…

Bill Simmons the boss seems like a pretty good dude, especially when you compare him to Coach Whitlock.

I would gladly wait 3-6 months longer for a good game made under more humane conditions than get a rushed bug ridden game where everyone worked 80 hours for weeks on end

I’d be so much more into this game if I could create my character...Geralt is so generic to me.
