I agree about Barnwell. I honestly just forgot about him. I think Rembert Browne is good when he's not writing in his seemingly-forced millenial voice about pop culture — his Ferguson post, for instance, was great. I think his greatest strength is as an interviewer (check out the Donald Glover one from this week, and…

"Grantland's Zach Lowe—pretty much the only reason to consistently read Grantland."

"That means Ken Griffey Jr. will be the first player to go in as a Mariner when he's inducted next year."

Side note: Terrell Owens was at this thing doing random celebrity interviews, despite admitting he doesn't even own a dog. It was clearly a case of his agent saying "Look, you're broke. You clearly need to go anywhere you can be on television and try to make some money." It's so sad.

This is a guy who recently wrote a lengthy piece about how Tom Brady, the quarterback who has taken his favorite NFL team to five Super Bowls, would have been an even better QB if he didn't grow up around so many women.

If you were a white baseball fan in the 1930s, I imagine your position on integration would have been "Why do we need it? They created their own league, and now they can play whoever they like..."

Second least believable. Robert Horry still takes the top spot:

Remember when Garnett and Howard were both players that most fans actually liked?

"We call this the Alpharetta Unicorn," said Koonin. "This is the 55-year-old guy who's going to drive an hour from Alpharetta into the city with three buddies to go to the Hawks game. He doesn't exist. And there is no music, no kiss cam, no cheerleaders, no shooting for a free car, no bobbleheads ... nothing is going…

Slightly off topic, but ESPN had a great piece last week on the Hawks' ongoing issue with getting fans to attend games, and how it's connected to the city's racist past and present. The article includes a fucked up story about how Jimmy Carter's camp passed around a picture of his opponent hanging out with a black…

As always, when white people say "thug factor" what they mean is "the Patriots are 1-2 against this team in the playoffs and would be 0-3 were it not for a dropped touchdown pass and botched 32-yard field goal."

That cat blog is brilliant

"If Babe Ruth didn't get 100%, then no one gets 100%"

And the one time they could have actually won a deal with Masai (Kyle Lowry), the Knicks said no, because of course they did.

I'm guessing Cleveland will try to flip either Shumpert or Smith for a center who can play defense (Larry Sanders?). Once you get the Knicks stench off him, Shumpert is a useful piece. He can't shoot, but he's now the second best defensive player on the Cavs.

"Shook Ones Part II" is on the short list of songs I could listen to every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

I'll say this much in Lewis' defense. If Palmer doesn't blow his ACL on the first passing play of that playoff game against the Steelers in 2005, I think they win that game. They were at home, they were a better team, and Palmer was coming off a fantastic regular season (led the NFL in touchdown passes and completion…

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for Killer Mike. He's a talented, smart guy who's been at this for over 15 years now, so it's nice to see him get some shine. Now that I think about it, Run The Jewels is probably getting a bit more attention in recent months because Killer Mike has been on TV offering some great…

I'm confused. Why is everyone talking about this? Is there something I'm missing?

"I heard Jim Harbaugh got a job! Yo, I'm proud of him man." "Yeah... let's rob him."
