Durant: “Getting steals, I don’t know if...that’s a part of playing defense.”

Your opening lines remind me of when Obama had his first state confirmed (I think Vermont) in 2008 and the “pundit” on CNN said “Well, I tell you what, I never want to hear anything about racism in America again.” Or the NFL finally “taking domestic violence seriously” after the Rice video came to light. People always…

Point: Soccer players are a bunch of pussies who fake being injured and aren’t real men like football and hockey players.

Is it even possible to respond by saying you don’t know how to respond?

Does it make it better that this is a dubious claim/allegation/anecdote/(whatever your preferred description may be) by a person who was not the original rapper of the song, which is purportedly about an unnamed NBA player, and both the original rapper and athlete are dead and can’t tell corroborate or deny the…

If anyone can be “traumatized” in the slightest way by news of a celebrity divorce, I don’t know how their life can possibly get any worse.

What did Steve Ott give him?

I love Ken, he is my sweet friend.

It’s hard not to feel bad for Harvey, who has quickly become the softest target the New York media have seen in a long time.

I tend to think point 1 undermines point 2, or perhaps point 2 feeds into point 1. Steph’s ability to fight around screens and get open looks completely disrupts a defense; OKC has been able to neutralize that, and with it, the entire core of the GS offensive philosophy. It’s been a bit painful to watch because these…

+1 residual Cowboys hate

Every single thing

That is good stuff

I agree in general, except for this point: “...the way to do that is not to automatically do whatever the hell they want and look like a bumbling fool because of it”

It’s both things; it’s as intellectually dishonest to omit sexism from such criticism, as it is race and Obama, as it is to rely on those “isms” as the prop against which all other criticisms against the two are rested.

They’ll get to the Cardinals eventually. Meanwhile, I don’t read any of those Root For articles and I read every one of these. So, they know where they make their money.

Now we’re getting the “Not-Cardinals-Fan-(who in most cases is probably totally a Cardinals fan) bemoaning the waste of time while still clicking through to the article.” It’s a glorious time to be alive.

A) That one article about the Flyer fans was not defending a fanbase; they went to the CYA well by implying that you “can’t judge a group by the actions of a few” then went on to do exactly that.

Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Even an “on-court suspension” for the amount of time remaining in the game when he incurred the foul would make more sense. (ie, he serves the time on the bench and can return for the end of the game)

I think you may be confusing the NBA not having a major health/PR issue at the moment to Silver not being a “subservient lackey.” The job of any commissioner is to do the owners’ bidding and represent those interests to the public. That Goodell fails, because he is awful at PR and delivering the message, is not to say…
