Seems foolish. This job is a stepping stone: U Mass —> Celtics —> Memphis —> Kentucky —> Leavenworth

I’m pretty sure that’s not what the expression “shows ... his ass” means. He showed what an asshole he is. But that expression refers to animal’s signaling their willingness to submit to another. Which sort of has nothing at all to do with Simmons’ tweet.

“6) Griffin”

“However, the Raptors and Bulls have both been good over the past four seasons”

Do you mean giving up on the Raptors?

This was worse than even your typical basebrawl
