Technically yes, but that’s not really what’s happening here. Durant is making an independent calculation that he’ll be good enough in the near future that he can get his max contract any season he chooses. He doesn’t need the Warriors to promise him that in order to know it will be available to him.

It’s pink, so that could mean it’s strawberry smoothie. Or it could mean that it’s a fucking ham sandwich, because this company is run by Dadaists.

He’s just reenacting his favorite scene from The Departed.

“When will [I] remember that Albert Pujols was great?” Literally every time I hear the name. He was one of the top stars in baseball for my formative years, he’s about to reach a career milestone and to hell with how long it took to get there, and he played on 2 World Series championship teams.

Fuck ESPN. Clayton is great - a knowledgeable yet common man with the ability to laugh at himself.

I like it. Novak is sharing boobs with the whole crowd. It’s not unlike Jesus feeding the masses with seven piddly loaves of bread. Novak has tiny boobs, you wouldn’t know that from the number of boobs everyone goes home with.

Amy’s playing loose and fast with using the word atrocity on a Serbian.

Nah.

This article (or at least the headline) is really, really bad advice for anybody who lives in a city or suburb. Local governments have written laws explicitly addressing this. If you fail to mow your lawn and keep it at a reasonable length, the local municipal government will show up at your house and mow your lawn…

Or if you have any reason at all to use that space for recreation, and don’t want, among other things, Lyme disease.

Every place where I have lived, if you don’t cut your lawn, the local government will do if for you. They will fine you, charge you for it at marked up rates, and will add it to your property tax bill if you don’t pay it.

Except in cases where you’re required to by an HOA, care about your property values, or care about your relationship with your neighbors.

Why does he need to be skinny? He runs slop routes, takes advantage of being taller than every corner to high point the ball, and then immediately falls down. There are literally back up full backs with more YAC during Benjamin’s time active than what Benjamin has. All more weight does is give him something more to…

Panthers fan here. There was concern last year, coming off his ACL injury, that his weight had ballooned. Early on in the season, there were reports of Panthers FO and coaching staff people grumbling about his “conditioning”.

Yeah, I figured, but it sent me down a wormhole of Basketball Reference and Wikipedia. Other than Chris Paul and Deron Williams, it’s basically a “let’s remember some guys” draft (I mean, Andrew Bogut was the top pick), but with gems like Amir Johnson and Marcin Gortat at the very bottom.

Marvin’s only problem was getting picked second. If he’d been picked 15th-20th where he belonged (if he’d stayed another year and didn’t have as much mystique), people would have him properly rated. Remember that James Michael McAdoo was touted as a lottery pick when he was off the bench with limited minutes and…

I forgot about Marvin! (I was only thinking about the recruiting class that had McCants, Felton, Sean May and David Noel).

He should have listened to the dating advice from his cousin, Rashad McDonts.
