Yeah, I’m not sure you can really call it ‘pillaging’ when the last five years of newspapers have sent a pretty clear message: If you’re working for a local newspaper and the opportunity comes to jump ship...you better take it before the company pushes you off the side.

That’s probably true, but the weird part about that explanation is that Zach Smith was a really mediocre coach. Even if you want to be (appropriately) cynical that “of course they wanted to protect the football program”...well, in this case “firing him” and “protecting the football program” are actually probably…

The biggest thing Texas needs to do to Be Texas Again is to keep in-state guys in Austin.

The weird part about all the caring-about-speeches is that in every Hall of Fame I’ve visited, when you actually visit the Hall of Fame, the speeches basically do not exist.

My parents got a new puppy this week and now my camera roll is exclusively photos of her. 

That’s the part I don’t get either. First in 2015, but then especially his responses on media days last week.

The part that’s incredible is just how incredibly unified the fanbase is on this one - pretty much nobody likes the Sylvanas storyline. With any major storyline decision, you usually get at least a few “Well, actually, it’s good because...” contrarians, but there’s basically none of that - a few people are arguing “wel…

My biggest live sports regret was actually showing up to the 2008 game between the 4-11 Browns and 3-11 Bengals game. The final score was 14-0 and that actually over-states how interesting the game was - total of like 100 passing yards, approximately one actual drive on offense, and well below freezing in the stands.

a big dumb idiot who thought he’d discovered the next “Just Do It” ... and because this is 2018 America, that guy was in charge.

I’ve always thought the same thing. Here’s a fun game:

I note that he did not clarify what he’s learned.

Don’t get me wrong, the Cavs probably will be mediocre to bad, but they won’t be cover-your-eyes awful like the previous post-LeBron era.

Resigning Love definitely locks Cleveland into a hard ceiling of “not a title contender”, but...it’s hard to say that’s really a terrible move given how most post-superstar rebuilds go - Orlando after Dwight Howard, Chicago after MJ, etc.

You Aren’t Going To Believe This, But Jacob DeGrom Pitched Great And The Mets Lost Anyway

He’s been on five NBA teams. Every single one has had tons of rumors/stories/etc come out after he left about how his teammates and coaches can’t stand him.

The miscommunication here is simply that DeRozan forgot that he was dealing with a large for-profit corporation.

I’m guessing that they actually don’t visit the website regularly, but get linked to a post via Facebook or out links from the sites you mentioned, follow them just to read the post, then immediately fire off their Angry Email of Justice.

Among all the racism, absurdity, etc, there’s one thing that’s notably absent from every single one of those emails: Any defense or mention of Papa John’s pizza as a product.

I think carving out some time mid-drive is a good plan when feasible, but it really relies on what you’ve got along your route.

(Yes, they’d almost assuredly get swept by the Warriors but at least that’s an improvement on getting swept by the Cavs.)
