Society rewarded him for something that it shouldn’t reward him for: being big and being able to knock into other guys. Society fails the kid who lives in a shitty neighborhood who had the brains to be a scientist but not the books, teachers, or facilities to guide him there. Society failed the kids at Sandy Hook.…

Well, you’ve done the soldier-athlete comparison, so I’ll help you with the next one (especially timely with the recent holiday.)

Society failed him? How so? He went to an elite high school, went to college, made millions of dollars in his early 20s, had as nice of a house as I’ve ever seen in person...he is a horribly fucked up person who made horribly fucked up choices.

Why should you be surprised that he doesn’t use protection? The guy has never played defense once in his life. /deadspin’ed

I’m going to be honest. I’m a Caps fan (even if usually only a playoff watcher), and the fact that a Lions fan said this and I can’t even scoff is the most depressing thing all day.

Nah, I got that feeling too. It was only a Thing among it’s very limited target audience.

“Free agency is their only hope, but that is a matter of who wants to go to OKC and watch Russ play basketball.”

“Kanter’s slowed to a trot!”

How many good players would want Russell to come to their team though? I feel like the number has to be very close to 0.

Eli’s just upset these messages were intercepted, but really he shouldn’t be surprised.

What I would take from last night’s win is how they were able to successfully right the ship mid-game. They didn’t just throw in the towel and say “Hey, we’ve got plenty of time to win 4 games on them, so we’ll try next game.”

Good memory - I completely forgot about this. Mike Rizzo is a great GM, but wow, he got lucky that day.

I was born in `73, the Caps in `74. They’ve never given me much reason TO unclench in the playoffs, aside from the fluke Stanley Cup finals against Detroit.

Not the Cowboys Stadium lot, or Jerry jones family tree? That’s progress, I guess.

Also, dating another person isn’t about “having” who you want, it’s about spending time with someone and building a relationship that satisfies you both.

Agree with you in sentiment, but Kawhi is more like the Guinness of beers. Everyone knows it, (virtually) everybody likes it. Nobody is ever really excited about it, though.

Yup, that mugshot is perfect. Smug, no-neck peaked-in-high-school dipshit who thinks pushing around weak pimply teenage boys is his god-given right. He now just needs to get busted fondling a drunk 14 year-old cheerleader at a party he had no business attending to complete the stereotype.

Kid shoulda seen it coming with Coach Riggle here when he told him it was time to ride the lightning...
