This is good news for Joakim Noah, who now becomes the face of the franchise. Not by virtue of on-court achievement, naturally, but the franchise is the Knicks.

Of course he had no duty to accurately mark the ball, look at the name of the flippin’ tournament.

Each 76ers summer camp and preseason comes with a rigorous training schedule.

In semi-exciting news for successful teams, with another hit by Gurriel (currently at .299), the Astros could have six .300 hitters on the team (Reddick, Gonzalez, Correa, Springer, league leader Altuve [.345])

“Is this the fake address the Blues Brothers gave the Illinois Nazis?”

Apparently Theo Epstein was too enamored of being toast of the town to notice that the crystals in his former Red Sox pitchers’ palms had started blinking.

It’s just that I’m so damned excited about the Cubs and Jon Lester losing to the Pirates 10-0 in the 2nd inning that I can hardly stand it, there needs to be an outlet for Cubs haters, despisers, and unwell-wishers.

Summer league is to meaningful NBA what eating the dirt under the bleachers is to drinking an actual beer.

I agree with Trump, if this dog-controversy can’t be satisfactorily resolved, what’s the fucking point of addressing climate change.

Now everyone who participated in the debate can safely kill themselves.

He is remarkably consistent between playoff seasons, averaging 27-29 points per game for each of the Rockets’ post-seasons. The internal inconsistency is a bit more worrying, though. Nevertheless, we need to sign him so that when we pull him off the floor in favor of Josh Smith they can mount an epic comeback against…

Looks like 6 albums in 6 years, but Bill Nelson has kept going (here he is at about 60, playing one of my favorite BBD songs).

Where does Be-Bop Deluxe fit in rock movements? Glam-ish? Prog? UK precursor to Cheap Trick? Nobody knows, they may be sui generis (cued to the start of ‘Fair Exchange’).

One day you’re going to flex your biceps at a weigh in and your arms are going become stuck like that, her mother warned.

Is there a club recently called up named Sterling, so that when they lose 5-1 to Chelsea, the headline can be Chelsea Pounds Sterling?

It’s just as well that Britton got hurt; at least he’s working out, rehabbing and throwing the ball around. A healthy Britton would have had his left arm fall off from disuse by now, what with being on the wrong side of a shitload of 11-3 games.

As a Rockets fan, I was excited to see their rail thin 7'1" project from China (Zhou Qi) go for 17 and 6, even hitting a few 3's. He may look like a baby giraffe in the lane but this game ain’t about the lane any more.
