Bomani Jones’ recent NPR segments have been fantastic.

My take on Simmons is this: When all the Boston teams sucked, he was hilarious to read because he had the same bitches every suffering fan has and he wrote about them very well. The Red Sox Grady Little era was prime Simmons.
I agree. I can’t see The Ringer getting the traffic that Grantland got solely because it was plastered on ESPN’s landing page. Barnwell was awesome at G-Land and I liked the Game of Thrones recaps but a lot of the other regulars kinda sucked, IMO.
Hubie Brown, JVG, Mike Breen, Doug Collins, Cassidy Hubbarth, Zach Lowe, and Rachel Nichols do great work for their NBA coverage. I think ESPN does a good job covering the NBA until they let Stephen A Smith on camera.
Or you fucked up really bad in the cosmic sense.
“The Washington Redskins are on indefinite hiatus until they change the name of the team.”
For starters, my classmates all loved the Bulls and I hated them, my dad loved the Blazers and I was usually fighting with him, (I was an angsty teen stuck in a tiny town I hated). My science teacher loved the Celtics and I hated his class long lectures on why Danny Ainge was the greatest basketball player ever…
You can love or hate the Bad Boys, but damn they were fuckable.
He’s really quite endearing, but his baby face reminds me he is a more appropriate age for my daughter than me. Mitch Richmond’s more in my league.
They’re Regressing back to juvenile insults, eh?
7. Introduce little-seen bench players “Devon Kurant” and “Jim Duncan.”
These are not like things. O.J. Simpson “beat the government” in the sense that a woefully incompetent district attorney’s office failed to compel 12 people to find him guilty based on the evidence submitted in court? That’s not beating the government. It may be injustice, but it doesn’t rise to the level of what…
DiMaggio served in THE USA - Williams received a deferment during WWII and later did a year in Korea...Tillman doesn’t belong in the same conversation...
I think he chose his words pretty carefully. The folks you noted were not “fighting” for a “socio-political principal.” I suppose you could argue that they were, in the broadest sense (fighting against political movements that our country heavily stands against), but not in the sense Lampley means (essentially,…
Thinking about it more, Lampley’s specific reference to “sociopolitical principle” in regards to Ali’s choice seems to say it just right.
Agreed on all accounts as well. It’s interesting how responding differently to very seemingly similar circumstances can still be laudable for each individual.
I think Lampley just said it the wrong way. Obviously, those three and many others (particularly during WWII) enlisted, but Ali was conscripted, told he must fight even after pledging he opposed the war and would oppose fighting in it. I believe that’s what Lampley’s trying to say, that nobody else took on the…
You’re just a wimp like Barry Obama and the rest of the Democrat party.
Fuckin’ savage bro. Put him on a team with this kid:
