The NBA is so far ahead of the other big sports leagues in this country when it comes to common sense and dignity.

It is refreshing to hear an intelligent and eloquent response from an older white man in light of the election season and all that has transpired in this country. No snark.

“If it’s not your daily experience, you don’t understand it. I didn’t talk to my kids about how to act in front of a policeman when you get stopped. I didn’t have to do that. All of my black friends have done that. There’s something that’s wrong about that, and we all know that.”

Holy crap, that is the most nuanced position I have heard from anybody. #Popovich2020! Make America have long term consistent success like the Spurs!!!

Why can’t he be our president? Timmy D would make a great secretary of state btw

I can’t imagine how you could be a successful NBA coach without being sensitive of race relations in this country.

You’re forgetting two other 16-bit players who have not retired:

In Winston’s defense, he did manage to get the first down.

Why didn’t a reasonable lawyer for the Rams step in earlier and say “Just give the refund, asshole!”? Offering refunds to every St. Louis PSL holder would get them out of your business, you could resell those PSLs at higher prices, and it could strengthen your case against the PSL holders wanting their contract…

While the judge did rule partially in the Rams’ favor, they broadly lost the lawsuits, which will likely cost the team millions of dollars in returned deposits and foregone profit.

And let’s be honest, putting the Rams in a “football-starved” market isn’t the best way to feed it.

80k for a PSL? Looks like you can get CTE from just watching the NFL.

I have a ton of respect for Sherman. After that whole talking trash after the game affair, where everyone said he was a thug and a bad role model, I looked him up to see what he’s about. The guy is a straight up excellent role model. I’d be overjoyed if my kid looked up to him.

How Peter King and a thousand hot-takers across the nation read this:

This is an excellent take that will be drowned out by rocket fuel-level takes from fans and talking heads alike real soon. So I will applaud this before the avalanche of hate-fueled and/or point-missing retorts comes, in and out of the league.
