Haha thought that might be brought up. Chalk that up to a consequence of transplant parents and NE extended family.

I spent most of my childhood in one of the aforementioned suburbs of Atlanta and went to a school in-state (in fairness, the HOPE scholarship was dope back then). Interviewing for jobs in NY after graduate school, most of my interviewers asked if I ever had any interest in going back to Atlanta. Many seemed surprised…

*any and every 7th pick has that potential

A) To construe my point that Steph Curry went 7th as meaning that any and every 7th pick is completely disingenuous. Not to mention the fact that he was hardly the only person named there.

Well I think the most interesting aspect to the Harden example is that at the time, Harden was not a “premium player.” He had played in OKC three years, never averaged more than 16.8 points per game, and was the third best player on a team behind two crucially recognized “premium players.” Dude was going to get a max…

Do you have any idea what the word simultaneously means? Because it’s weird to me that you would include the rule at such length and not read it closely.

Give me Mavs over Heat in 2006. Probably should have happened anyways with anything other than terrible refereeing and maybe if they don’t blow that series, they don’t get shook in 2007 against GSW and actually contend for that title.

Man Charles Woodson is going to be great as a studio analyst. Excited to hear that dude break down QBs.

Barcelona fans are every bit as bad as Cardinals fans, except the collective cognitive dissonance might actually be even greater.

Yep, this is pretty much exactly where I’m at. I’ll take Barack for a third term and then Elizabeth Warren in 2020 over any of this mess.

So, Real Madrid, who is less than a week removed from beating Barcelona while down ten men, and is still in the Champions League with Wolfsburg in front of them, stand no chance at beating Barcelona should they meet in the Champions League? Interesting takeaway there, particularly from a match where Barcelona almost…

Is that actually the biggest shortcoming? Because watching the video, it seemed like the biggest shortcoming was an argument that went from “empathy is bad” to “people should be less concerned with themselves, i.e. empathy is good?” Making the video ten times longer would not have saved Bloom from being blinded by his…

Right? It’s almost as if the author is suggesting you can say racist things independent of whether you are a “racist.”

Yeah it is basically a Cruel Summer track. He even uses a similar flow to New God Flow and Clique, where he raps for just a crazy amount of bars. FWIW, I like that Kanye as I think New God Flow was so slept on as one of the best rap songs in recent years.

Man so many Kanye hot takes in the comments section. In the end I think the truth is that if you liked any of Kanye’s previous albums, there’s a lot to dive into on this album.

“Ultimately, you’re the only person who can decide what feels right for your relationship.”

Your mom is certainly a great Ley.

As to your first point, fair enough. I was addressing specifically Russell Wilson, but you may be right about others.

This is about professionalism only in the most marginal sense of the word. He showed up to the press conference, gave terse answers, but made clear that they got outplayed and that he was a part of the reason. Requiring any more of him has little to do with professionalism and more to do with the mistaken belief that…

Lol, now not answering questions at a press conference is the equivalent to not expecting criticism? Hell, even in the responses he did give, Cam made clear that they got outplayed and cited his errant passes as one of the reasons.
