That’s what I was thinking. It’s hard to claim the grammatical high ground when you get your own pronouns fucked up.

Nonetheless, editors out there: It’s “home” in, like a “homing” pigeon.

Though pretty much no one ever feels sympathy for professional athletes (and rightfully so), it has got to be hard to be in a profession where you are judged so much based on your potential at 18, and where if you’re not a winner, you’re a loser. For someone like Howard, who has been to the Finals, is a multiple…

a much better word would be “a once-dominant center and one of the best players in the league for a prolonged period of time who’s hit 30, and is now still quite effective but clearly on the natural decline of his career”

I was pleasantly surprised at how well Howard came off in that interview. Both intelligent and honest. My biggest issue with him has always been how fake he seems, but that Dwight wasn’t on display. Really shifted my viewpoint on who he is as a person.

Meh - I’ve seen better.

Well, a true fuck you to pundits and bullshit would be OKC vs. Toronto, really.

I’m not an expert in train operation, but wouldn’t there be an emergency brake that they only need to hit once and leave, located in his post?

No, he has to take the blow of the impact and die first. Duh.

Help! I’ve Fallon and I can’t get up!

How could I forget the first championship of the shot clock era?! Also I wiki’d that Final (‘55) and apparently Ft. Wayne didn’t even get to play it at home, they had to go to Indianapolis because their arena wasn’t available. WTF.

How soon we forget the big-market showdown of Syracuse - Fort Wayne.

An OKC-Cleveland final would be the most hilarious city matchup in a league final ever?

I know, I know, but making an earthquake metaphor using Oakland just doesn’t have the same ring to it when San Francisco is right there.

My dream is to see Curry and Durant go off simultaneously in a game and each score 60+ as they go back and forth in a high-scoring, close game. Man, I'm excited about this series! Go NBA!

I work in higher ed, and we were instructed not to use “lame” as it could be perceived as derogatory to those who are differently physically abled.

So now I just say things are “complete and total bullshit,” though that could be perceived as derogatory to those who are stupid. Or bovine. Or fecal matter.

Not really though.

I invented “glame” for this very reason.

That might be believable if Haisley didn’t take unnecessary shots at MLS at every possible opportunity.

I also read those lyrics as "No, really, some dudes dig this," which... why are we mad about it? Self-acceptance doesn't preclude the desire to have someone else find you attractive.

But at the same time, she states that if you don't like the way she looks then move along. I feel like a lot of people have been reading too much into individual phrases within the song without placing them within the greater context of the song itself. Everyone wants to be seen as attractive to the sex of their…
