Beat me to it. I enjoy Albert’s writing most of the time, but I wouldn’t exactly call him an “analyst.”

Good thing no one on the staff made any sweeping declarations of grandeur for Miami after Game 1.

Chinese business English is not American anything English. Even if the guy was having trouble getting his question out, the firing was not likely about his question but about the response.

My girlfriends grandfather once asked me if I had a cock. I told him yes and sat there for a full minute awkwardly making minimal eye contact. He got up and brought back a Coke. That language barrier can fuck up any conversation.

At least he didn’t call them the ‘Yoffs.

The rash of musician deaths is actually due to Keith Richards’ increasing demand for souls to power his immortality spell. Prince should be enough to keep him going through year-end.

Aminu was quite the character at Wake Forest. The first time I met him it was the summer before his freshman year, and a girl had called me (the RA on duty) at around 3 am because she was locked out of her room. When I got up to the top floor, two girls were standing at the door and Farouq and another basketball…

Please don’t misquote Kevin Durant. It’s rude and unprofessional. He did NOT say that Mark Cuban is “an idiot.” He very clearly (and repeatedly) said he is “a idiot.”

Right? I took a beating with that house I bought through Century Under-21.

How could anyone take a company seriously when they’re named after a stripper?

I would gladly get paid $17.5 million to eventually not have to do my job. What’s his deal?

Fortunately, this is the NBA we’re talking about, so he’s got something like eight months to rest up before the conference finals get started.

I think Oscar Robertson was right and the old guys were tougher, just imagine how many wet spots Wilt Chamberlain slipped on without injuring himself.

Tom Brady had some learning time on the bench until Bill Belichek made his genius move of Drew Bledsoe having his rib cage crushed and then learning the QB he’d had riding the bench was actually one of the best in the history of the game.

I don’t think Brett Favre saying “I’m Brett Favre bitch. Go fuck yourself” repeatedly to Aaron Rodgers really counts as “learning time.”

Howie Roseman, the man who may have hired Doug Pederson with no vetting whatsoever (outside of, “Andy Reid - that guy we fired - said he was the best!”), may have bungled the whole Sam Bradford thing? Say it ain’t so.

the Eagles are inexplicably paying you a lot of money.

Compare and contrast the tickets and Grizzlies. Grizzlies knewnthey were gonna lose but went down with pride.

Sounds like something a progressive liberal would say, you progressive liberal.
