Ovechkin is going to take the Cup to Russia so Putin can blatantly steal it in front of everyone, so we should all start preparing for the inevitable Russo-Canadian War of 2018.

I always thought JR Smith was walking around with a pipe in his hand.

He’s fully embraced (and seems to 100% believe) the whole “My opinions are the greatest in the history of the world!” shtick that PTI lampooned back when it first started. The final straw for me came when Ohio State played Oregon in the National Championship game and Wilbon had this whole Fake Internet Tough Guy rant…

We did DFH in Milton/Rehoboth and the state capitol in Dover, though that does sound fun.

That’s similar to what my wife and I did, we also went to Gettysburg and Antietam.

The great state of Delaware does not need your smarm, sir!!

And it’s fairly small, so driving is limited.

If you’re a history/beer nerd, Delaware is a pretty fun state to visit.

For these two teams the Big Sports Take Industrial Complex has given us the conventional wisdom that says the Warriors are great at offense and the Rockets are bad at defense (whether or not that’s actually true almost doesn’t matter). So when the Warriors aren’t great on offense the assumption then goes to “well,…

Watching Harden/Paul dribbling for 23.2 seconds then throwing a desperation pass at a disinterested teammate to hoist up a shot before the shot clock expires will never not be funny. Only way it could be better is if the soundtrack was “Yakety Sax”.

That makes sense. I think my disconnect w/ the picture was that if it was taken in 2012, he looked really young for being 14 at the time.

That was my initial reaction as well, but I have no reason to doubt its authenticity.

This picture makes me feel unfathomably old. (This is Jayson Tatum and LeBron in 2012.)

This is a well traveled myth. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US (as long as it follows all the other parameters), it’s just that somewhere around 95% is made in Kentucky.

You are exactly right. The process was nothing more than a scheme to separate rubes from their money and to make them feel good about that. The Sixers and Hinkie played it perfectly.

This is always my first thought when people say they need a gun for protection:

At their worst they are cripplingly insecure man-babies who need constant positive reinforcement about a sport they like.

At best they think that hockey is underappreciated and just go too far in evangelizing for it.

If you ask someone who works in higher ed administration to explain what they actually do in their position, they’ll start sputtering and spouting gibberish like Tom Smykowski.

But the coffee shop occasionally had children in it! He was just thinking about children!

Whenever I fly through the Minneapolis airport I always make sure to keep my stance narrow, because you just never know.
