Lavar’s bad decisions are really starting to add up. How much guaranteed money did Lonzo pass up from Nike or Adidas before the draft so his family could start BBB? The people saying that was a brave decision are technically right, but if you know nothing about starting a shoe company (safe to say that’s a fair…

That’s what this means to you? So if you had to bet your life on it, you think he was telling the truth about this from the get go? The fact that his trainers publicly confessed, were caught on video buying supplies used in the attack, etc just goes out the window?

You’re a god damn genius

There is carnage as far as the eye can see in the journalism industry (layoffs, publications closing, ad revenues falling, etc). So the obvious question that this piece does not address is, can these businesses survive if they offer all their employees the kind of benefits you’re slamming them for not providing?

In what world do waiters get to tell diners (even really annoying ones) to “shut the fuck up, sit down and be a customer?” Maybe Weiner Circle in Chicago... Otherwise I’m pretty sure your manager tells you to put up with just about anything a paying customer says, don’t stoop to their level, take their money, and move…

Yeah it’s very obvious that Machado is the prize of this class.  I think Harper is as overrated as any player in a long long time.  I wouldn’t give Harper a 10 year $300M+ deal in a million years.  I’d be nervous about giving Machado 10 years too, but I’d feel much better about paying him than Harper.

Why would anyone be outraged about this? Is there any credible reason to believe the owners are colluding against these two players? Is it really insane to believe that teams are just a bit more afraid of 10 year contracts than they used to be? Maybe the media bought into the Boras-generated media hype over the last…

It’s been years now, and I’m positive that this was a better show without Shaq. He doesn’t add anything, he just interrupts Chuck to say “stop it” and throws off the chemistry of the group. Webber was a much better fit because he knew his role, knew to let Chuck be the star, and was more knowledgeable and better…

This whole comment thread is outstanding

Never say never I guess, but at their size, I don’t think either of these players is a risk for early entry to the NBA Draft, much less leaving after their freshman or sophomore season. This could be a 4 year backcourt for the Hoyas, and that could be a solid foundation for a pretty good program. I’ll admit, I was…

What’s with everybody shitting on Elway lately? Because he picked Paxton Lynch? Because he hired/fired Vance Joseph? Because they didn’t make the playoffs in a division with the Chiefs and Chargers?

Worth reminding everyone who thinks the US is backwards or unsophisticated compared to the Europeans: this happens at European football games with regularly all over the continent at a level that would never happen in the US. Not saying we don’t have some racist hecklers here, but for whole sections or whole stadiums…

You would think that for one of the biggest live broadcast shows in all of television, you would have the very top tier of talent available in the field. Listening to Witten is the equivalent of watching someone take two improv classes and then join Saturday Night Live. How does this happen? How could someone’s first…

Love Crawford, but they’re not a playoff team with him in net. They’ve lost almost every game over the last month and a half with him as the starter. They weren’t even in the playoffs when he was playing at a Vezina level before getting hurt last year. It’s not his fault, he’s played well, but their bottom 6 forwards…

Pump the brakes Gabe. Pretty sure trading Amari Cooper for a first round pick doesn’t mean the Raiders “definitely torpedoed any chance.... of being competitive over the next few seasons.”  Trade doesn’t look great now, but after the Cowboys overpay Cooper, then overpay Dak, then extend Jason Garrett, and don’t have a…

When did it become popular wisdom that Bryce Harper deserves this mega-contract? In his 7th MLB season (for those who talk about him like he’s barely in the league, just scratching the surface, and all that nonsense) he hit .249 with a .393 OBP, 169 Ks, and a 1.3 WAR. He’s hit over 30 HRs twice in his career. He’s…

Since it’s Albert, I just assumed the alternative suggestion was “unionize the sun.” Instead it’s “use solar power for everything or die in darkness.”

Exactly. It’s not a question of whether this is the direction the tech is going eventually. It’s a question of intentionally trying to obsolesce a technology in an unnaturally fast way before the replacement technology is truly the preffered and more convenient option for most people. It would be like if Blockbuster…

I can’t be the only highlight truther who saw the handball...

What is underbidding Bell? What is he really worth? Look at the season the Steelers are having without him, and tell me what number he should get (or it’s “collusion.”) It’s not a question of whether he’s good - he clearly is. But he plays a position with zero scarcity. A third rounder is replicating his numbers and…
