To be fair, the original GOAT-proofing in the NBA wasn’t Wilt, it was the unstoppable monster that was the very white George Mikan.

Roger Goodell would like you to know that the commissioner’s exempt list is, in fact, a thing.

As it happens, other countries, such as the UK, have had significant personal experience with the first-hand effects of allowing “society” to be the sole punisher of inciteful racist hate speech. I believe there are a few documentaries on the era, if you’re interested.

If you wanna make the case for allowing completely unfettered ongoing trashing of public areas by large groups of heroin addicts, go for it buddy. You might want to see what that looks like in practice first though. The people where I live have, and voted on allowing that a few months ago, and rejected it by 65 points…

This is a passionate advocacy piece advocating for...something, it’s not really clear what. But it certainly seems as though the fight actually is over. No offense, but I really don’t think too many people care about poor Kryshelle and her “encampment”. Anyone living in a city with large homeless populations is well…

Is Keith Brooking still the most popular jersey at Falcons games? Those fans really respect his, uh, work ethic, ya know.

It’s called Uberman and has been a bizarre small internet community for a number of years now. It was created as a joke, as the creator of it flatly admits, but nonetheless there’s this really weird collection of people who claim they do it inspired by him. They almost certainly don’t. It is not remotely plausible for…

Nothing gets peak physical performance out of a professional athlete like constantly waking him up in the middle of the night with whatever meaningless insight you gathered from your 17th hour straight of watching video.

It sounds like the big problem remaining is the existence of an anonymous in-house app where people can say the kinds of things that would get them a conversation with HR if done under their real name. You’re never going to fix a sexist corporate culture if the female employees hurt by it can on a regular basis see…

I’ll admit that I got sucked into paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars in FIFA loot boxes last year in no small part because they *did* show the odds of a rare item. Oh, if I buy these cheap packs I only have a 1.4% chance of an 84+ player, but if I spend $40 and buy these expensive packs that are only available…

It’s gotten to the point where when I see a random ultra-rich guy with a nonprofit I just automatically assume its purpose is about 99.8% tax shelter designed to make them and their friends even richer by abusing the tax code and starving our society of the revenue they owe it.

The other 0.2%, of course, is to give…

Various governments in Europe are starting to look very strongly at just flat-out banning loot boxes in their countries by passing the sort of new anti-gambling regulations functioning governments are able to pass. Developers who want their game to be played around the world, and Rocket League certainly has a huge…

What In The Hell Is Happening In The NL?

Seems like NBA players these days have situational awareness and tend to wait until just after the buzzer goes off before launching their full-court shots because they care about their shooting percentages. The crowd still goes crazy if they go in.

Yeah, the kid going to a misogynist rally straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale with a MAGA hat and that obnoxious smirk, followed by filing numerous nuisance lawsuits demanding hundreds of millions of dollars in “emotional compensation” against every news organization their asshole family could think of to the left of…

It could ask for more Raiders, but by then they’ll be played out.

It seems pretty ridiculous now, but there was an entire era before advanced stats became widespread where conventional wisdom was that anyone who scored 20+ ppg was elite, and if you were over 25 ppg, why, you were surely one of the very best of that era to play the game.

At one point, the consulting firm advised that Knicks coaches not watch film with players, one of the primary things that coaches do

Is it just me, or is this the first time “Jordan Brand” has been all over the news as a thing? Like, wasn’t Air Jordan always understood as being under the Nike umbrella? You google Jordan Brand and the first hit is the official page on...Nike.com. Nike appears to make the shoes and own the brand, so how is this…

in order to have, well, basically the exact same QB problem this team has had since Peyton Manning walked away.
