Raptors is a worse name than Wizards. The NBA has had a Magic Johnson. College basketball had the Wizard of Westwood. Especially in the more freeflowing game of today, that kind of magic style is prized. We like slashers and high risers and guys who are superhuman.

they are hair on guys’ faces

I do not know how Past a Diving Jeter is left out because that would be a #1 seed.

And God. How many of these assholes wax poetic about rediscovering the cuisines of our ancestors? Acting like they are performing a charitable service by charging you $100 for something our Depression-era great grandparents ate out of necessity.

Harden is punishing those guys for trying to slow him down with a reach/grab because they are slow to switch. The foul call on Lou Williams seemed pretty crappy though.

Wrong. It is the most classico of soccer takes. Declaring a title won and a season over despite a significant amount of soccer to be played.

That gator saved a future brilliant surgeon (who hopefully will not then become a delusional secretary of Housing and Urban Development)!

So at least he is coming from the angle that government should actually be a solution to these problems. It’s pretty dumb to be surprised that the problems aren’t solved. But at least that’s better than “the government doesn’t solve anything, and we should rely on charities and churches to care for our downtrodden.”

Holy shit! All of us, quite frankly out of nowhere, now have someone to root for on the Jaguars. Always be rooting for Telvin Smith.

RIP Mrs. Rooney

If Leonard wins MVP, wouldn’t that give so many of us the greatest non-fan-of-team rooting interest possible? I would have to watch every OKC playoff game in hopes of him destroying Houston and then the Spurs.

So Steph Curry should be MVP then.

I feel like they also started taking over the Star Spangled Banner and that the Hurricanes fans responded by also going bananas for both anthems. But that was 11 years ago, so my memory of the final between two of the smallest media markets in sports just might be hazy.

What sacrifices are they making?

It was a dog. Must have been chasing the deer. Thanks a lot, man’s best friend.

The bid process, followed by massive unnecessary stadium construction, are the sources of corruption. The US is making a smart play while FIFA is vulnerable. The US organizers can come in and say they are willing right now to eliminate two of the biggest sources of corruption from the process. FIFA can award the US…

The little girl on the bottom left, crying out to the heavens, is fantastic. Sorry little girl. Russ also plans to block Santa from coming to your house this year.

My old coach, Pappy McDougall, was a real hard character. He smoked cigars on the sideline and refused to allow water breaks at practice.

They stand in 6th place all time among UNC national championships.

Seems like more of a jabronie, as opposed to a jamoke
