That's a pretty damn good theory. Don't forget Scott won 24 games his third year in CLE, which got him fired, obviously because he won too many games and the Cavs almost couldn't draft Anthony Bennett first and turn him into Kevin Love, sort of.

Reality? Waiting out Kobe? Take your pick. At least people will still buy tickets if they can lose entertainingly.

I'm a Lakers fan and I'm looking forward to this. Better a beautiful trainwreck than whatever last season was. Maybe they can go 0-82 and piss off the Sixers.

People who don't like peanut butter or chocolate? What the fuck else do they not like? America?

ESPN, where "top commenter" does not refer to quality.

Please don't give Sims4Forum any publicity. They take other peoples' work, rip it off, put it on their site and charge for it. Very uncool. Some links to help understand what they are doing and why it is unethical:

Have you tried Fat Head's Head Hunter?

They were 45-53 after June 8 with the same ballclub.

How the fuck is this team winning?

I don't believe he was. Steadman may have been, and Flying Dog's website includes a quote from him about it ("Two inflammatory words...one wild drink. Nectar imprisoned in a bottle. Let it out. It is cruel to keep a wild animal locked up. Release it.") I think it's more a clumsy attempt to ape Thompson's general…

My wife proudly orders Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp in bars. I winced the first time she did it. She just shrugged.

The guy who started Flying Dog, George Stranahan, was close friends with Hunter Thompson. They lived right down the road from each other in Woody Creek, I believe, a few miles outside of Aspen (Stranahan and his Flying Dog Ranch are referenced in Thompson's work a number of times.) So from the beginning, Stranahan…

Your user name suggests you're going to be a very reasonable person to discuss this topic with.

Yes, multiple playoffs in a row. Peyton Manning never beat the Patriots or won the Super Bowl and then he did in the same year. The Red Sox never won a World Series, then they won three. Luck clumps.

They won't. Playoffs are largely situational luck and flukey stuff (three home runs by left-handed hitters against lefty pitchers?And until last night, every initial Dodger reliever surrendered a home run within four pitches of entering each game), so enjoy it while it lasts.

If Ramirez were a shortstop instead of a poor-fielding 3B impersonating an even poorer-fielding SS, he probably would have snagged that liner and doubled Holliday off first, and suddenly Kershaw is looking at Adams with two outs and the bases empty and maybe pitches him differently; in any case, odds are he hands the…

Well, one, you say "Saint" Louis the same way people in Columbus insist you hear THE before "Ohio State University". Two: your team just advanced to the NLCS and instead of being out drinking or dancing or whatever, you're on Deadspin complaining that nobody loves you.

Maybe it's because the Cardinals' fans NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

I'm sorry, but no one has the ability to "make choices without fear of judgement or societal repercussions." People who make believe they can do whatever the fuck they want without repercussions or judgement very likely have some sort of antisocial personality disorder. This is neither a feminist thing nor an…
