I think the worst thing about this book is that it’s taking attention away from the fact that Ta-Nehisi Coates’ book comes out today. If you’re going to a store to look at Go Set a Watchman, I suggest you walk right past it and pick up Between the World and Me instead.

The best solo Wu-Tang album.

Entertainment Weekly held their annual “White Women Who Kick Ass” panel at Comic-Con.

When bringing up Griffin you said “The thing with taking risks is that they’re risky,” and compared him to Embiid. But there was no risk in taking Blake, because he had no injury issues before the Clippers drafted him. Embiid did, just like Oden and Bowie. Those three guys were seven footers with serious injury…

“It’s a shame, because Embiid seems like a fun kid”

Griffin got hurt after he was drafted, not before. There was no cause for concern when the Clippers drafted him, so there’s no similarity there.

And when she won the first Serena Slam, all four wins came against her sister in the final. There was a time not so long ago that tennis was completely dominated by two proud black women from Compton, and the exceedingly racist WTA couldn’t do shit about it. It was glorious, and it’s probably the greatest American…

I think a lot of those white men who hate Serena secretly find her to be very attractive, which bothers them because they’ve been taught they aren’t supposed to be attracted to a woman like that, so they overcompensate by very loudly and publicly saying the most vile shit possible about her.

Le Batard considers Whitlock a friend, and you can tell it’s taking every bit of willpower he has to not tell Jason how fucking creepy he sounds. I’m willing to bet he said something the second they were off camera.

The best part about this is that it happened in the summer, so a lot of kids who otherwise would have had to go to school got a chance to go see their heroes in person. This really is a beautiful thing to see.

“No! Bad Ryan Lochte! Bad!”

Also worth noting: Larry Fitzgerald’s ass is incredible. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that. My best friend hates football, but if the Cardinals are on, she’ll watch for at least a quarter.

I would give up my next paycheck to see Bomani tweet back “Man, we have never been cool. Sit down.”

It’s amazing to see the kind of visceral anger Bomani gets from people nearly every day, because he almost never says anything remotely controversial. He mostly says obvious things in an intelligent and/or entertaining way, and people can’t stand it.

I initially read the headline as Portland instead of Poland, and wasn’t even surprised.

Michele Roberts vs. the NBA owners has a chance to go down as one of the greatest labor disputes in recent memory. She’s going to embarrass them, and it’s going to be amazing.

Goddamn. That’s incredible.

“and brought on aging hero Homare Sawa, somehow playing in her sixth World Cup. “
