They raised it to $50K, but then it got challenged it court in a bunch of red states and is in legal limbo. The Trump administration has signaled they have lukewarm enthusiasm for defending the policy in court. Regardless, it hasn’t taken effect yet.

Ha, no one, including executives and senior editors, is getting rich working at alt-weeklies. But yes, these people should be paid more.

It should always have been LeBron, Curry or Durant. Curry more than made his case when Durant was out and the Warriors ripped off all those wins in a row, a stretch during which Harden and Westbrook were thoroughly chumpitized.

I don’t believe they stopped bottling it in La Crosse until the holding company that owned Heileman, which at one point was one of the country’s top 5 brewers, went bankrupt and sold the Heileman part of the business to Stroh’s.

Fun fact: Old Style was originally brewed in a Wisconsin town that’s closer to Minneapolis than Chicago. Its association with Chicago has always puzzled me.

Oh, come on. The financial district in London has a stronger claim to The City than New York ever did.

Rather than blasting the first black president at a higher decibel level for this behavior than has ever been used for his white predecessors, maybe it’s better to focus on changing the rules of the game going forward. Does it look unseemly? Sure. Is it against the current rules? Nope. He served eight years. He’s…

It’s no coincidence that most of the “fun” teams to watch from the 1990s were teams that ran up and down the court like the Suns and Payton-Kemp Sonics or were dominated by stars like the Jordan Bulls. Most of the league was fairly unwatchable in hindsight.

Possibly a rare situation where both “there” and “they’re” works.

The salary cap and parity ruined football for me, along with the fact that many of my childhood favorites all have dementia or killed themselves. For the most part, the first dozen or so games of the NFL regular season are meaningless, given that two-thirds of the league ends up somewhere between 7-9 and 10-6, it…

Possibly the stupidest part of the whole thing was listening to Shaq and, I think, Barkley refuse to say JaVale’s name during the studio broadcast, calling him “Number 1” every time. It’s like these guys never matured beyond 9th grade.

Yeah, I mean, the Grizzlies always foul a lot. That’s what they do. But there were some BS calls on both sides of the ball right around the time the Grizzlies crawled back within single digits. There was a phantom over-the-back call on Z-Bo or Gasol, I forget which, that negated a bucket and gave the ball back to the…

Huh, I always wondered what became of Randall Simon.

I keep reading it as #whinceandrepeat ... Actually, come to think of it, #latherwhincerepeat would be a great one.

Ah, got it. I misread as “a negative personality.” Fair enough.

It’s hard to look past Westbrook’s childish antics at times, but he’s had the better season, for sure. I did joke when Durant went down that Curry would be a dark horse MVP candidate by the end of the season, and damn if he didn’t look like the best player on the floor in those dismantlings of the Thunder, Rockets and…

Wait, aside from that horrible goatee, which may indicate some poor decision-making ability, what’s wrong with Klay’s personality?

I like Russ, and I think he should get the MVP. I just don’t think come-from-behind wins should count for more than wire-to-wire wins. Don’t put words in my mouth. For me, it was a tossup between Westbrook and Harden until a couple of weeks ago. I continue to think Steph Curry is the “most valuable” player in the…

Yeah, I pushed that too far. The larger point is that Russ plays on a team where he has the dubious “opportunities” to come from 15 points down in the 4th quarter more often than a player on one of the Big 3 Western Conference teams.
