She’s scoring a lot of points, but averages less than an assist per game. I’m sure her coaches would like to encourage her to spread the ball around more, but she’s probably not used to having teammates who are also capable of scoring. Therefore, Han shoots first.

Nagy couldn;t possibly be fucking this up more. He’s either treating a rather simple problem as though he’s trying to get Apollo 13 home. Or he’s dealing with a complicated issue by doing the equivalent of a parent hanging the bed-wetter’s sheets outside for all to see.

As for other aspects of Paul’s job performance I can’t speak to, but I have to think if I was running a team, having an agent flat out tell me that if I traded for a player, I’d be trading my assets for a one year rental would be something I’d actually find pretty helpful. And him saying it publicly, so as to…

All I can say is that Bob Myers’s press statement which began with him tearfully sorta explaining what happened by using words and phrases like “there were experts,” “multiple MRIs,” “multiple doctors,” and “cleared to play” by “collaborative decision” sounded an awful lot like a random corporate executive explaining…

Really? I’m going with all-fault. 

Yeah, this is a major bummer because spinning of the athletics department into a distinct private corporation is probably the only way we actually get rid of the NCAA, or at least it’s sham nods toward education. But instead we live in our current hellscape, and we get only the negatives of privatization without any…

Yep, generally agree, but in a media/cultural landscape as reactionary as ours, everyone needs a vector into the left — and they’re certainly not going to get one in school or through mainstream political discourse.

Thanks for this feature — we’ll live in a better world when a platform like Gravel’s is a mainstream one, not merely tactical.

Hopefully they don’t somehow switch politics later on down the road.

I mean, I definitely have some concerns about these kids playing Vincent Adultman in a digital skinsuit of a geriatric man, but anybody willing to call Henry Kissinger a “a man whose appetite for corpses is dwarfed only by his gluttony for division” is alright in my book.

Nobody dies by going too fast.  They die by running into things.  

I am completely opposed to the death penalty, but she deserves the death penalty. 

If I ever run for national political office my platform will consist of one and only one issue: Banning semi trucks from using the passing lane unless it’s to move over for a car on the shoulder. I’ve seen way too many almost catastrophic accidents because a trucker just deciding to randomly jump into the left lane…

The other day, we were zipper-merging down to a single lane because of some highway construction.

Plain and simple, unless you’re passing, stay the fuck out of the left lane. 

One of my best pals grew up in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. She knows I’m big into baseball and one day asked me if I knew who Larry Walker was. As a lifelong Expos fan I said of course. She then related that she grew up with Larry Walker from kindergarten through high school and that he was genuinely one of the…

Good. However many bad calls/non-calls it takes is fine with me.

Weird, usually when a guy with a shaved head and camo Bruins jersey (who definitely has a thin blue line Punisher flag behind the squat rack in his basement) and a bro with a flat brimmed backwards hat get together it’s in Harvard’s philosophy department’s faculty meetings. 

Even Boston fans hate Boston fans.  

While in St Lucia last year, I discovered the locals call the Brits “Peppa Pigs”, due to their propensity for refusing to take a breath between complaints.
