Sustained success over a long period of time + a bunch of try-hard, floor-slapping white kids + one of the most self-important, fart-sniffing coaches + obvious media and ref bias = easy to hate.

Fair point, Russell and Wilt owned the 60's. He could’ve had the 50's though, Sweet River Baines style.

Fixed it!

Right? Like others I don’t quite agree with what he said about Beto, but this is spot on. This is the Democrats’ biggest blind spot.

I think he hit the nail on the head.  People don’t want talking points, they want action plans.  If you’re just repeating the national party rhetoric, voters in local districts can’t connect that to their own lives.  If Sagan can break down how a national effort will improve the local lives in a specif way and a…

Good on him for running! Don’t allow Republicans to go unchallenged in elections. The vast majority of their candidates are horrible creatures that believe that they are entitled to power.

Zero, unless he played on a team that had Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain.

When was the last time that Carmelo Anthony was *not* putrid? 

He was always an Iso gunner. It’s just that he was better then and it was still acceptable to be an iso gunner at that time. Honest Denver fans knew he wasn’t the guy to get us near a championship. The closest they came was when they got Billups and he spread the offense a bit, and convinced Carmelo to at least play…

I mean who could have predicted that an inefficient shoot first, play no defense, petty, insecure guy who has never taken good care of his body would age really badly ? 

Melo’s only two points came on a goaltend (on a layup that looked unlikely to go in before the blocker came along), so he didn’t see a single shot go through the basket.. His night was actually worse than it looks on paper.

How many titles would Melo have won in the 1950's and 60's?  You know, back when everyone was short, and only shot mid range jumpers.

People forget that the awesome combo of iso-Melo and iso-Iverson couldn’t make it out of the first round....

The headline can just be permanently changed to “Carmelo is Putrid” for all future Melon articles.

But then everyone wouldn’t have gotten to see how ADORABLE and PRECIOUS they are. [vomit]

A lobster, pasta, and pinata because dinner plans "fell through"? Sure, Jan.

Nobody believes this was spontaneous, right?

I work from home and do the occasional petsitting gig, and it just drives me nuts when the people say “Oh, we leave Spot alone inside all day and he’s fine.” Uh, no. Spot is NOT fine. He may put up with it, but dogs are social and leaving them alone all freakin’ day stresses them. When I petsit, the dog is with me…
