Is 57 million really this unthinkable extravagant sum? Liverpool just sold a player for 142 million and bought one at this guy’s position for 75 million within this transfer window. Seems like any of the top six English clubs, and good Champions League clubs elsewhere in Europe, should be willing and able to spend…

I am talking about the numerous games that we read about people doing this.

The subtext is obvious but it’s worth spelling out that “family-friendly” here is a dogwhistle for “you won’t have to explain to your kids that a professional athlete is upset that unarmed black people are getting murdered by police, in the very unlikely event they even noticed the brief protest to begin with”. Christ.

And clearly it’ll still be the issue on everyone’s minds in 2020.

Did Jason Kidd learn to shoot? He shot below .400 for the season *nine times* in his career.

For one, greyhounds are not very popular dogs to have as pets. Breeding lots of them for racing purposes means after they’re no longer in their prime you have lots of greyhounds you can’t give away. Every dog track in Florida has an adoption booth but it doesn’t come close to taking care of the problem.

It’s also yet…

Oh, you haven’t heard? 76ers fans are now all-in on the narrative that Hinkie would have nailed this draft pick and The Process was sabotaged by the league by forcing Colangelo in because they couldn’t stand the thought of it working.

Lot of ways to parse that. My first was that it would be a very large party of adult games, and pictured the commentariat engaged in a massive game of Twister. Probably tens of people would pay to see that.

Isn’t something lost in the transition when you just gamble on a screen?

That’s not his “political beliefs,” though. That would be “buying into the ravings of a crazed lunatic fringe group.” Just make sure you know the difference.

I suspect quite a number of sports fans care if an American player currently getting lots of media coverage for sudden international success sincerely believes Hillary Clinton ran a child sex slavery ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant and spends his free time reading neo-Nazi material.

So his pitch appears to be that while Duke takes care of its alumni, he can promise Kentucky never will?

At this point I don’t know what else you do except to just ban all Russian athletes from all international competitions indefinitely. It’s clear there’s an intractable problem that they have no interest in cleaning up, and allowing them into the Olympics but just not playing the Russian anthem clearly isn’t…

But now Roths could be even more attractive for wealthier workers, as well.

Just last week, the Panthers hired retread failure Norv Turner to be the team’s offensive coordinator. Naturally, he brought along his son Scott to serve as QB coach.

The best of a bunch of bad solutions is that the US publicly accepts that yes, North Korea does in fact have a nuclear program that can reach the US and there’s nothing we can do about that that doesn’t immediately lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. The reason they’re so insistent about developing nukes is that…

Well, congratulations on finding a way to disingenuously equate people who say Russia had no impact whatsoever on the 2016 election and people who say they had enough of an impact to swing the incredibly close results. Nobody can prove either one, so they’re both equally ridiculous propositions!

Give me a fucking…

No offense, but “Steve Bannon’s career is over” seems like a pretty terrible take. Oh no, he’s not on the board of Breitbart anymore! Come on. He could get booked on any cable news hour he wanted tomorrow or any time for years to come. He could tweet or say any number of things and immediately make headlines and…

The guy had one pretty good season on a college team that went 2-16 in their conference. I’d hesitate to call him the best in the world at something.

Their defense did, in fact, stop the Jags in that situation (and on four other drives that game that ended in Jaguars punts). It’s just that the terrible onside call meant that even preventing them from getting a first down wasn’t enough to stay in the game because they started the possession in field goal range…
