To be fair, those are both terrible comics. That initial Johns/Lee Justice League story is stunningly bad.

It didn’t get the attention that Promethea and League did, but Top Ten is so, so good.

Had a worse regular season record? The Clippers and the Rockets both finished the season 56-26.

I’d argue they were better than the Rockets last year, and still are. If Paul wasn’t hurt for the first two games, they may have swept the Rockets in the playoffs. The Thunder are probably better, but I’d say the only teams in the west who are definitely better than them are the Warriors and Spurs.

Hell yes. After Pudge and Yadi, he’s probably the best defensive catcher I’ve ever seen. If he was a white catcher playing in Boston, the media would have treated him like a superhero.

Am I crazy, or was Charles Johnson the last black catcher in the majors? I really can’t think of another.

Melvin Mora’s wife had quintuplets! God, I hope that cat saved his money.

The only thing that keeps me from being excited to see this movie is Bill Hader. I will never understand his appeal. Just like Jimmy Fallon, he isn’t the least bit funny or charming, but he gets to have a career because he’s a nice white guy who Lorne Michaels seems to like. The entire time I’m watching Trainwreck…

We’ll probably never again see an article about Bill Cosby that doesn’t mention the fact that the man is an habitual rapist. I wish that were the case for Woody Allen too.

Matt Harvey was so excited watching deGrom’s performance that he jumped out of his chair. He tore his ACL, and is expected to be out for 12 months.

deGrom’s performance was just nuts. He was a pitch away from an immaculate inning in an All-Star game. A fucking All-Star game. God damn.

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…
