They were not going for a simulator, but wearing the VR headset on a stairclimber machine inside a dry, cold hypoxic* chamber would really help users get in the mood for this.

Backups who took over? Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Just curious, where does this money from the fines go? Who gets it?

NBA players be checking their Kinja notifications for likes and responses to their comments.
