2017: Each competitor fed HGH 2 hours before event.

Haha agreed. I was going to say something about what you gain in the timing drama, you lose in the volume, and dear God do we love the volume.

Sac-town’s boring

I think one can say last night’s was the best event in history because of the confluence of random circumstances (and isn’t that what makes sports great to begin with?), but the “beat the clock” drama really gives the entire contest a new dynamic. So, maybe future Derbies will have their own level of intrigue. Good on…

Literally just moved and dealing with this question, so thanks for the serendipity. One tip, probably common sense, but measure EVERYTHING before you buy, and try everything.

Signing complementary players is fine for Boston because they have drafted and traded well to fill their star spots, so that’s what I meant by “playing all routes” and “inspires free agents,” but you’re right about not getting a star that way, and I’m not trying to quibble about a compliment I offered your favorite…

Ah, thought you were Sacramento. Ainge is a smart GM. He plays every route to his advantage and usually is on the right side of trades like this. Plus you have a great history and established history of good management that inspires free agents to come there. Sacramento has none of these things, and rookies in key…

Only in the sense that Sacramento isn’t a “destination” free agency spot, so they get spurned by big names (even on the Monta Ellis level) and their best hope is to find talent in the draft (compromised with the draft picks they’ve swapped recently, including in this trade), through trade (Rudy Gay is a serviceable…

That’s a lot of words that amount to building a maybe 34-win team. Congratulations?

Eh, McCallum was kind of terrible. Second round pick was a Hinkie-level coup.

Even if the Rondo signing works out in some way, either if he is a good player or in terms of the ripple effect of keeping Demarcus happy (and you’re always risking mistaking signal for noise in such a multiplier effect), even if the other signings were adequate, it was still a stupid trade.

Your last sentence answers your second question :)

I choose to rec your comment because I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in the universe.

Fair’s fair!

Personally, I would make “Leaving” 3, with 2 being “Getting addicted to crack.” Living through that part was much worse than the eventual abandonment. But we all have our crosses to bear. I hope you’re in a good place now.

HA!

BS for sure

Personally, I thought the person whose self-stated aspiration was to “smoke weed every day” and who wrote a song glorifying not going to rehab* was in charge of her own life. Apparently not?

They need brave people like you to stand up for their rights. Good on you.

Krazy Glue, that is
