They should pick a fan to chronicle at every game.

What does it take to get a game ball? I’ve been to a lifetime (40+yrs) of games, mostly majors but minor leagues too and have gotten zero balls. I take my son and I complain to him, telling him we need to do what we can, look cute and sad, box out when we have to, drift over to better seats. Is there a secret to this?

I am a labor economist and honestly, there a lot of people in my field getting tenure trying to come up with rational models whereby asshats like this netting incomes like this makes any fucking sense.

They really should have gone for nipple rings.

“Makes sense. He’s a champion”

I came here to scold everyone making jokes about this. A guy is dead and his family no doubt grieving. But you get a pass for this one.

The Nats have choked in post-season with Harper and Strasburg. They’ve squandered some of the best pitching in baseball. Their 2015 rotation had unbelievable potential. Then September happened.

Highlight truther with your big, fancy words.

Pats fans have never had much love for the Ryan family, but it’s just a game. Condolences to Rex and Rob on the loss of their father.

How about a list of possible racist names:

It’s not about records or talent on the court. I’m glad you mentioned these guys. Jordan has zero charisma or speaking talent. Magic is overflowing with both. Kareem is a much deeper, complex person off the court, writing books and speaking on important topics. Interesting divergence of post-playing career paths.

What I was trying to say, apparently unsuccessfully, was that all of those compliments were back-handed. Like if I say “everyone says you’re ugly, but you’re really not.” He dredged up every insult aimed at his teammates including many the audience had probably forgotten or not heard, and barely swatted them down.

He is almost Jordanesque in his humblebraggy partial credit-giving speech that’s supposed to be acknowledging his teammates’ contributions. Basically speaking with the unspoken premise that it’s HIS team. HE decides who comes and goes, whose system it is, when Dantay is ready to come in, by the way, pointing out how…

Um, Sam Bowie.

Seriously? Did you listen to it? I know LeBron was trying to be gracious, but it came out more than a little condescending to his teammates.

“I love all y’all and, uh, shit.”

Boston idiot over the age of 40 here. I fucking loved this.

You make it sound like we’ve forgiven Bill Buckner.

You’re responding to the wrong poll. That would be the most wicked cool teams in all a spohts.
