Once again ... I’m watching the game and I start giggling at the thought that we’re getting ready to lose to the goddamned Sixers. And once again Jimmy Butler decides this is not going to happen and BOOM! He goes off for 53 points and victory. Let us not leave out that Etwaun Moore hit some big baskets down the

I don’t think they call what Fisher did to Watt a cheap shot. It’s called “finishing your block”. That’s how they teach it. Was he supposed to stop and ask JJ how he was feeling?

Moving in together is such a “Yikes!” moment. I totally endorse the idea of both parties ditching their place and hunting for a new abode. Otherwise, if you move into someone else’s existing place ... you’ll be living in someone else’s place and that feeling is hard to overcome. Starting out on even footing with “our”

When you look at their starting 5 you think, “Wow, this is a pretty nice group of young players!” They have tons of talent and upside in their core group—but they are also inexperienced and without veteran leadership. The closest they have to a solid vet is OJ Mayo’s corpse. So, this team is ripe for meandering

It’s kind of nice to be old. I’m enjoying it.

Yes. Yes we do. This will force people to see their own hypocrisy.

Uh, Voltron please? Can you imagine the possibilities? Either Vehicle Voltron or Lions Voltron would have a ton of nice side and mini-game options where you do things individually and then fucking form VOLTRON to defeat the robeasts!? And once you get the boss down to 10% health you get to form the blazing sword!

I appreciate the levity—and agree that these guys are idiots. But if black people standing peacefully in inclement weather armed only with placards that read “#blacklivesmatter” can be entertained as terrorists by talking heads, then certainly a group of lunatics armed to the teeth and openly stating they are willing

Down by 15 (I think) mid-way through the fourth quarter I was prepared shrug and change the channel. But it very quickly became clear that Butler was determined to carry the team to victory by sheer force of will. These kind of performances make your eyebrows rise to the top of your forehead and say out loud, “This

Sorry about that.

OMG! That’s pretty fucking absurd. I love it. Totally laughed out loud watching that clip.

Bobby Knight once said, “If a journeyman stiff starting in your All-Star game by way of tomfoolery is inevitable ... just lay back and enjoy it.”

Did he say something untrue? I kid, I kid. But why would Griffin be offended? She took her coat off in the middle of winter and marched around in a bras with the obvious intention of eliciting responses on her ‘endowment’. She’s an entertainer who creates this kind of uncomfortable performance comedy regularly (what

I’d love to lie to you and say I told someone but honestly I was so disgusted and preoccupied with making sure I didn’t have the little fuckers on my clothes I just walked out. This was quite a long time ago ... I’m sure they found out without my help. I mean, we’re not talking about 3 or 4 baby roaches on the carafe

I can think of a couple dozen things better and they all start with a pair of twins ...

If you don’t follow the Bulls you would be forgiven for thinking this was an ad-lib by Gasol and Butler. They run this play at least once every game and it almost always works. In fact, when it doesn’t result in a dunk or tip-in like this game winner i’m surprised. It was a perfect time for them to try it here. The

Schofield kind of loses the moral ground, doesn’t he? He laments Carolina’s inability to win with class ... and then displays the same lack of professional acumen immediately when the opportunity presents itself. Hilarious!

This is the most “I shall embrace the Dark Side” motherfucker in recent memory. Close runner-up is War Machine, but I think Hernandez wins out.

I’m not sure about the causes of gun violence in other cities, but in Chicago it’s primarily cartel related. Note that I said cartel and not gang. When people use the word gang they invoke thoughts of young men roaming the streets looking for trouble. That ain’t what’s going on. Chicago is the narcotics import capital
