My last memory of Jason Kidd is him throwing french fries at his wife like a 2-year-old. YMMV, though.

Lena Dunham is ... not my favorite, but I’ve been around enough animal rescue people to know some of them will exaggerate what’s happened to an animal to play up how heroic they’re being for stepping in. A friend of mine who had to surrender a dog that was acting aggressively toward her kids was basically dragged…

It’s not quantifiable, but a chance to win multiple championships is certainly worth something to Durant, dollars-wise, and has to have factored to some degree in his thinking. Who’s earned more post-retirement, Shaquille O’Neal or Patrick Ewing?

No, they probably come with similar pay/benefits. The Times is a union shop, and these are presumably union positions. This could be their way of getting around “last hired, first fired” seniority rules. Make everyone apply for new positions, and then you can get rid of the unspectacular but not incompetent guy who’s…

Digital advertising generates peanuts, and nobody under 50 subscribes to print newspapers. While I’m all for spending Tom Friedman’s money more wisely, the 50 copy deskers’ presumably generous union benefits are what they’re trying to eliminate. Tom Friedman is only being paid one set of benefits.

Yeah, as a dispassionate yet regular observer, the only guys I find obnoxious are Strickland and Bumgarner.

Not delusional. Just sarcastic.

No because Jordan would have swept the Warriors.

So sick of Kerr and his headaches and his not being able to coach. Wait, what?

Free throws evened out over the course of the game, and the number of dumb calls evened out in the last three quarters (phantom T on Draymond, no-call on Kyrie’s obvious over-and-back). But if you don’t think the Warriors had to adjust the way they played D after watching the Cavaliers shoot 22 free throws (!) in the…

I think you can give it to Durant b/c of the gaudy stats, but you can make an argument for either. Durant doesn’t get the shots he’s been getting without Curry drawing a crowd wherever he is on the floor, and Curry’s been the best rebounder in the series, a development no one saw coming. Heck, that steal from LeBron…

How NBA TV hasn’t given JvG and SvG their own show at this point is beyond me.

I think the quality of play has been slipping for a long time, but it’s masked by some of the great QBs. I blame what’s happened with the salary cap/contracts. Back in my day (not that long ago), you’d have solid offensive lines that played together for years and functioned great as a unit. Now because of injuries and…

I actually find the NFL uninteresting to watch for this exact reason. Parity is so close that most teams hover around .500 the entire season and there’s no reason to pay attention till the playoffs, when you might as well flip a coin to determine the winner in the early rounds. The quality of play on the field is…

Leaving aside the “was he or wasn’t he” using PEDs question, it’s entirely possible Pujols decided to drop weight in Anaheim because he started to experience significant plantar fascitis pain, which required a lot of missed games and eventually surgery. Haven’t experienced it myself, but I’d imagine shedding some…

Only the dumb ones.

Maybe Breitbart can hire Scott Boras to be their baseball editor.

Yeah. Also this is entirely consistent with the criticism that Pop used to throw Bruce Bowen’s way when Bowen, a legit dirty player, played for him.

If it’s like most papers, it makes a tiny profit, but no one feels good about it because revenue is ever-shrinking and most analysts in the biz tend to make pessimistic projections because the rosy forecasts are rarely right.
