Nah, we’re just smart enough to not be fooled by someone who basically figured out how to sell prosperity gospel and bullshit and snake oil to white people.

As a Montreal fan, I third this. I’m glad we don’t have to worry about holding out Carey Price for the playoffs!

there are people out there IRL building massage parlors for dogs and using their money to make hawaiian shirts with money bags on them

You’re wrong.

the alternative seems to be allowing the US, Israel, and Saudi (!) to push for some good old fashioned regime change in Iran when you know not a single one cares if the country ends up as Iraq II

this is actually not a bad reference at all, if you’re familiar with any of Eminem’s mixtape work pre-Dre (OR his modern work without Dre. Seriously. Why Rick Rubin.)

note that even with those 15 mediocre seasons Cincy has a -70 record all time

He’s proud at the amount of wealth he stole for himself and his big donors, and smart enough to know that staying “in the shadows” while doing so is the smart move. Unlike the, uh, Ruckus-esque David Clarke and Omarosa types Sen Scott is competent. In a sense that’s why I hate him more.

The other issue is that there is a far higher % of people in the NFL who’d have no problem with the shit Richardson (allegedly) did, vs. in the NBA where LeBron James himself was threatening labour action

Whoooole lot of things in this tweet. Of course he’s a Evangelical “Christian” though.

Very good point. They should’ve spent that money on something better than index cards for 1st downs

the NFL has started using this technology without the “cool” factor so QBs can see the plays that they made and learn from them. VR stuff/augmented reality has its uses

someone with his attitude could only last through being actually pretty competent at his level

yeah, and, uh, how did that go? how much did black families recover after the GFC?

But if he knows that - as he should - why not go for broke? This is like trailing in a football game by two scores in the fourth quarter and choosing not to pass the ball because “too risky, better play it safe”

Note that many of those Stanley Cups were won either in the six-team league or when the West literally consisted of expansion teams.

You seem like the kind of prosetylizing person the author dismissed - confident that she needs to be “taught the good gospel” and maybe just “find a good Bible believing church” when, as an ADULT, like you said - she understands some of it (e.g. the Roman origins of Christmas) and doesn’t want to be like you.

Yup. They still do. But Caribbean church is largely a holier-than-thou social event anyway. The music isn’t bad either.
