I stayed up late to watch this, and at one point I found myself thinking “Wow. I forgot that SportsCenter can actually be good”. Then Stephen A. came on...

“It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.”

This idiotic Wilbon article is what I would have expected if Whitlock was running that site. I’m normally a pretty calm person, but I was so irrationally mad about this yesterday that if I saw Wilbon on the street I would have screamed at him. He basically wrote an article that says “black people are very emotional…

Who would you rather have: pre-injury Derrick Rose or current Russell Westbrook?

If Ichiro was able to enter the majors when he was 22, he’d have over 4,000 hits, and he’d probably be the all time hit leader. Whenever I think about that, I get mad that we were all robbed of the chance to see it.

One thing worth noting: that’s three flagrant foul points against Green in the playoffs. If he gets one more flagrant 2 called against him, that’s an automatic suspension.

ABC didn’t do the show any favors in its second season, and as a result the ratings dropped off a cliff. It’s a damn shame, because she’s a terrific character and the second season was probably better than the first.

I’ll be damned. I definitely didn’t know that.

It’s like watching the Raptors during the fourth quarter of close playoff games. They don’t get into any kind of offensive set until there’s about 8 seconds left on the clock, and it’s always a disaster. The difference for the Thunder is that they can sometimes get away it because Durant and Westbrook are just a…

Wow. Those are pretty impressive mental gymnastics on your part. Whatever, I’m done with this.

Since you asked for a citation, here’s an excerpt from an interview with Bernie Sanders in the National Journal in 2014. These are the words of Bernie Sanders:

Holy shit, this comment is unhinged.

I hope this works out for her. I like Kristen Bell a lot, but she has been in some really, really bad stuff for most of her career. She’s usually the only good thing about any project she’s involved in. But between her, Schur and Danson (who has quietly had one of the best television careers ever), I think this will…

Correct.

But the problem with Bernie and his often fanatical supporters is that his “progressive agenda” is focused almost exclusively on middle class white people, which he has openly stated for years. After watching the current Democratic president easily win two elections by broadening the Democratic base and acknowledging…

On the plus side, if the Nats sign Harper to a $400 million deal, Boswell will report it as a $650 million deal and we can laugh about this all over again.

This has nothing to do with Tweet Beat, but Janet Jackson turned 50 today and I’ll be damned if that isn’t worth celebrating. Escapade is still the shit:

I was thinking the same thing. There’s something really endearing about it. She seems so damn happy.

I had never seen him before so I just Googled him. He looks like if Clint Eastwood and Chris Hemsworth somehow had a child.

I think a small part of the reason people complain about conference parity more these days is because people hate LeBron. Quietly, Magic Johnson arguably had an easier path to the Finals dealing with the tire fire that was the Western Conference of the ‘80s than LeBron has, but no one cared because everyone outside of…
