I can’t imagine being the kind of fan who couldn’t take pleasure in the Celtics season, even if Cleveland beats them as expected. It seems that by your definition of fandom, you could not take pleasure in a season unless your team was the objective, best team in the NBA. Well, that or losing 60 games with hope of…

I don’t recall Knicks fans hosting draft parties to honor the genius of Phil Jackson, though. Nah, this is a unique kind of showing your ass here.

Is this all tongue-in-cheek or are these guys really just the biggest marks of all time. I mean, come on... Nerlens Noel and Robert COVINGTON?! TJ Friggin’ MCCONNELL?! The man’s best draft pick has played in 31 out of a possible 246 games, right?

Maybe at first, but by the 4th quarter, the Warriors were resting their starters too!

But one of the issues last night was that he wasn’t taking as many shots as he needed to. Pop mentioned after the game that it was a situation where he needed to actually be their #1 option, but he was way too passive last night.

Derek Jeter is a first ballot HOFer with 5 rings, beloved by Yankees fans. That should be enough, right? I’ve never really seen the need for the constant mythmaking of the guy. The real stuff is impressive enough.

MLB made a simple calculation that the odds of a successful take out slide weren’t worth the risk of losing star players for long periods of time. And the traditionalists can crow all they want, but take out slides, along with homeplate collisions, are not really baseball plays. If they were a part of the game, it was…

It’s obvious the new rules have made breaking up DPs obsolete, so players just need to stop doing it. Not that complicated.

Stephen A. Smith: Skip, how long have you and I been friends?

Good news, but these women are still horribly underpaid. Nice reminder that while Al Davis’ failson was running around talking about how wonderful the Raiders are for the economy, he couldn’t/can’t even be bothered to pay some of his most public employees a minimum wage.

Are the people outraged about this outraged over fishing in general? Otherwise, it seems a little weird to be upset about potentially humiliating a dead fish. I respect animal rights activists, particularly vegans who actually practice what they preach, but I’m a little confused here.

Really? As a Warriors fan, I laughed and laughed when he crapped his shorts 2 years ago. Then again, the Spurs have so many championships, and I’d never seen one for the Warriors at that point.

Woof.... The Giants start to the year has been brutal. Probably time to blow it up.

Interesting. I’d be curious to know what makes women’s basketball more popular in other countries, where women make more money, etc. I don’t think it’s an aversion to women’s sports in general here, as women’s tennis and the USWNT are more popular than the men’s alternative, right?

Ah, any time some ghouls want to perform some PR they think makes them look comfortable with diversity, and in touch with minorities, there are always some stooges willing to accommodate them. The Trump admin can always find some dupes for a photo op. Good on these students for not going along with this bullshit.

Wait, how long is Pogba’s deal for? The agent gets 41m, and the player is only making 8.6m?

+1 It’s all true. I don’t think it would be hyperbole to say that losing him would be more damaging to the Warriors’ chances than any other player on the team.

Wait, an anonymous (of course) GM compared Kap to Rae Carruth? That’s fucking incredible.

In addition to being bigger and stronger than everyone else, Shaq was also a very, very skilled basketball player in a way Dwight’s never been. I don’t really have a point other than that even as a Lakers-hater, Shaq at his peak was a joy to watch. I’ve never felt that way about Dwight.

Oh, what the fuck, Penn State?!
