I think it’s pretty objectively true that Johnson lit all of Abrams’ plans on fire, burning out all of the possible story threads and ideas. Whether that was a good thing or not is where personal opinion comes into play. Maybe “Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to” was the right way to handle Star Wars.

Well, that’s certainly one way to spin it. Another way to put it is that it was revealed that she’s a woman in a position of power who had an unethical and problematic relationship with at least one subordinate. I have no doubt that the people on this site would be clamoring for a resignation if she were a man, and I…

I’m perplexed at all the “double standard” cries from ostensible feminists on Twitter about how unfair she’s being treated over “consensual” affairs. She had sex with subordinates; feminists have argued for years this creates a power imbalance that calls into question how consensual said relations can truly be. Why…

She slept with a subordinate. That’s bad news, regardless of whatever her husband did or didn’t do. 

PLEASE INFORM SOMEONE TO TURN OFF THE DAMN AUTOPLAYING VIDEOS

Complaining that the cameras caught it? Seriously? Are we upset when the cameras catch whether they drag their feet for a catch, or whether a fumble occurs before being down? Darn technology

They should post another one that says: “I am a former social media account manager.”

Related: I don’t mind Joe Buck, either. He is extremely okay at a job that must be harder than it appears from the comfort of my couch judging by how many other people are awful at it. But is he really the only one who can do this? We’ve got him flying from Houston for Game 2, to Minnesota for Thursday Night Football,…

I have an 11 year-old, nicest kid in the world. We hear often about how polite and helpful he is. Last year at a sporting event he said something ridiculously antagonizing to a fan of the other team and I had to jump in and 1. ask him where he picked up the specific trash talk (youtube), and 2. calm the other guy down…

“He’s the nicest kid in the world”

Anyone who did proper scouting on Lamar knew his limp-wristed throwing style was going to translate to the NFL.

I’m excited to see the scheme Flores comes up to get the Bengals that big win.

Nobody stays alive to keep watching the winningest team ever keep winning, I call bullshit. Your grandfather is alive just to cheer against that immigrant Altuve, i bet 

Don’t be pedantic. If Silver wanted the guy fired, he would have been ended up fired, or at least suspended or had some punishment imposed. There is lots of soft power in situations like this. Morey didn’t get punished because Silver didn’t think a punishment was appropriate here.

The point being made by a lot of…

A lot of people in the 24-48 hours after the story first broke were confidently declaring that Morey was toast and would surely get fired shortly. It would have been really easy for Silver to buckle under to the explicit demands of the Chinese government. But it seems as soon as he didn’t, the internet outrage mob…

I don’t know, risking a billion and a half dollars to prove you’re not China’s stooge kind of shows that you are not China’s stooge. Anyway, it would be nice if the President of the United States showed an ounce of concern for Americans being threatened with getting fired because a foreign government took issue with a…

Vince Carter is so old, he remembers when the UK handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997!

I absolutely cannot wait for some random game in February when he has a ridiculous put-back dunk or he drives and posterizes someone and we all get to gush about it. I hope he plays until he’s 50.

Crystal Dunn was the Player of the Match, though.

I do feel that the, “Harden is the logical end and counterpoint to the Warriors 3-point revolution” requires that Harden best the Warriors at least ONCE when it fucking mattered.
I’m crowning Kawhi the official counter-point and MVP.
