Off-topic, but I really, really enjoy how fantastically out of place Popovich looks in the photo up top.

It might be infuriating because it’s stupid.

Gilbert is a thin-skinned weasel who practices a predatory form of capitalism.

Given that (American?) sports franchises tend to be owned by scumbags, it’d be interesting to see a ranking of team owners. Gilbert could simply be average for all I know.

Rugby union is the closest sporting equivalent to a demolition derby.

For sure! If you want a perfect game, you can’t throw the ball into a hitter’s wheelhouse. I’m just sympathetic for getting so close to a notable achievement and falling oh-so-short.

I’m an A’s fan, and even I feel a little sorry for Holman.

I’d buy a jersey for that! (And I’m a friggin’ cheapskate.)

Nobody wants to say, “They win too often with too much fanfare and they’re not my team, so I don’t like them.”

KD’s “decision” was worse IMO than Lebron’s, since his Thunder team would’ve beaten GS if he had showed up in that series.

Apparently Miami sportswriter Greg Cote is occasionally tickled (sans consent) when he appears on The Dan Le Batard Show.

Sadly, what JVG says never seems to carry as much weight as it should.

+1 gullible patsy

And is there any history to suggest KD wants no part of melo in the post?
