I am kind of hoping the steroids dickishness to HOF prospects somehow gets extended to Jeets. I know it won’t, but I keep hoping he’ll do something that goes beyond the pale and they’ll have to.

Drugs. The answer to all your questions about their parents is drugs.

The answer is obviously because Tony Romo has been a huge hit and they want to replicate that success (and don’t care about a history of sexual harassment).

Do like a Survivor thing with the tournament and require the teams that lose in the tournament to vote a player off, who is then banned from the NBA for life.

Take a cue from lucha libre and take some kind of forfeit for the worst teams - take their uniforms away and make them play in denim overalls or something.

10-14 teams is probably too small, but I’d absolutely prefer an NBA with 20-24 teams that were trying to win every night than one with 30 teams but 6-8 are deliberately trying to lose at any given moment. It makes the whole league worse.

Championship teams getting #1 isn’t going to happen that often,* and even if it does, so what? There are always at least a few players on ending or one-year contracts, and salary caps and minimum rookie contracts are always a factor that it’s very difficult to imagine a Championship team returning unchanged except for…

8 of those last 15 years you think were so well-balanced have seen a LeBron James team in the Finals. You’re right about having the best player in the NBA being able to make a world of difference, but that player comes along once or twice a generation, not once or twice a year. If you want the next LeBron, you’re…

Easiest way to end the tank-a-thon is to stop weighting the draft lottery. You put 30 ping pong balls with team logos into a box and pull them out one by one. The “balance” you get by forcing the best players to spend several years on a shitty rookie contract for a shitty team doesn’t make the league any better,…

See, this is what can happen when you trust the process.

That’s splitting hairs - Sandusky was investigated for child abuse in 1999, which led to his resignation but the DA declined to prosecute; this was well known even at the time of the scandal. What’s come to light is that Paterno had been personally receiving reports about Sandusky from victims since the 1970s and…

Counterpoint: the most batshit part of Paterno is that HBO was willing to spend an obscene amount of money making a movie that tries to vindicate the legacy of a man whose own exculpatory account had been shown to be completely false long before the release of the film.

My grandmother could have lasted six round against Mayweather, and she’s dead. That’s how Floyd fights, which you’d know if you knew anything about fighting.

Man-child who pretends to be an asshole that loves fighting for money turns out to be an asshole that loves fighting in real life? Color me surprised.

Sure. Easiest solution would be to ban human cockfights altogether, but what do I know?

What are you, some kind of America-hating Communist? The 2nd Amendment guarantees the government’s right to sell weapons abroad that will ultimately be used against American uniformed servicemen and women.

Because weigh-ins give you more opportunities to promote the fight, sell sponsorship mentions, and generally hype everything.

Donald Trump is the burning radioactive sewage accident of political nicknames. Also of the presidency.

The Sandlot is an attempt to be a summertime version of A Christmas Story, which, lamp aside, is also a terrible movie.
