Honestly, it’s just hard to get the grubs and roaches that operate the face of his skin suit to approximate human joy.
Listen...I almost never comment on someone’s looks bc it’s just bad.
But I’m sorry...LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER.
Why is it that every fucking creeper politician doesn’t know how to smile? Is it bc they just can’t muster up the real thing due to their sociopathy? They just literally *don’t know how* to do it?
Goddamn this…
“Dictatorships buy sneakers too”
Supporting the status quo is literally taking a conservative position.
We have this weird thing (it’s most pronounced in America, but true the world over) in which supporting the status quo isn’t really viewed as taking any sort of political position whatsoever.
“And if you call now we’ll include this little hop to the right, handcrafted by James Harden just for you!”
Wow, that Houston Rockets fellow certainly jumped way right, fired away from a safe distance, and claimed ownership of it all.
Not that this idea is new or anything, but one more time for the people in the back: stating that you are not / don’t want to be political is very much taking a political position.
Fertitta did not say whether he speaks for the Houston Rockets when he calls the Bushes the most “extraordinary political family” in American history, says Donald Trump is doing “a great job,” harps about having to give his employees healthcare, harps again about the minimum wage, says socialism “scares the hell” out…
It says a lot about a man who in one breath will decry the evils of socialism while doing his best to appease the worlds most populous “socialist republic” in the next.
I don’t know how to respond to this other than...thanks for making my exact point? Yes, the salary cap does suck. But just because it exists doesn’t mean you have to automatically side with owners in contract questions. Somehow “this is a shitty rule and explicitly favors the billionaires, but it’s the rule, so let’s…
And Kudos to San Diego for not caving in and buying them a new stadium. I’m sure something could’ve gotten worked out if Spanos wasn’t greedy.
Insane isn’t it? We’re preconditioned to hate athletes asking for their value, yet the billionaire owners who milk these guys dry to the point where their bodies will break down, and leech off the local government/public for funds to build stadiums etc are heralded as heroes or models for success. Fucking pathetic.
All the more reason the Melvin Gordon’s of the world need to pick up a baseball bat and glove or start kicking a soccer ball around...
I would like to point out that as a result of this article, I hate Jerry Jones less than any of the analytics guys cited. At least Jones, for all his grossness, understands loyalty and sacrifice and the human connections that come from the game or from any other human activity that requires struggle and sacrifice.…
A huge pet peeve of mine when people portray Zeke’s contract as “bad.” Because it’s definitely not bad for Zeke! Nor is it bad for other RBs, or really, for players in general. It’s only bad for one particular billionaire who has more than enough to cover that contract many times over. It just sucks how much we’ve all…
Same ownership that suspended Antonio Gates for a game in 2005 for holding out, lost that game, and saw their stacked roster miss the playoffs by a single win. The Chargers will absolutely, positively cut off their own nose to save a buck. Sooooooooooo glad they’re LA’s problem now
Melvin Gordon’s holdout never stood a chance because I drafted Austin Ekeler in my fantasy league.
