What about the still uncaught UMBC Strangler? I feel OK leaving him off the “should be proud” list.

Red Panda is awesome and you are a monster.

Counterpoint: Sports bars are actually awful places to watch sports, and I routinely go to non-sports bars to watch sports in peace and quiet whilst eating food and drinking beer.

This. I love Van Gundy’s pithyness and soundbite-friendly reparte with Jackson. They and Breen are a good team, and by far the best commentators for a garbage time game. But they stepped all over a Curry flurry to wax on about their ice-cold pro-ref takes we’ve heard endlessly. There was a hell of a game happening in…

As a Warriors fan, I was initially happy to see Kyrie leave the Cavs. Then came the realization that, if the Warriors make it back to the finals, that frickin’ guy will still be there.

Deadspin: why can’t sports be fun, it’s so awful having teams whose players hate each other and everything is so dreary

The Celtics weren’t less willing to let Kyrie fight over screens so much as Kyrie does not believe you can fight over a screen, since the screen exists on a level plane, and has a distinct end point upon which Steph is eventually going to fall off of and cease to exist.

When I was in high school my great-grandmother came to visit. She was 96 at the time, and as we left the house for dinner she told her son, my grandfather, 77 years old, retired steelworker, father of two, grandfather of four, and great-grandfather of three, “Orval, it’ll get chilly once the sun sets. Ought’n you take…

I thought that moment came when I stopped caring about new music and invested in a khaki-colored jacket.

This is so true. At some point my parents gradually eased into treating me as an adult, but my girlfriend’s parents never got there. She’s more successful in her job than either of them ever were, and yet they look down on her and give her unsolicited advice and/or criticism constantly. They’re still trying to parent…

The mark of adulthood isn’t being married or having kids or having a 401(k), it’s accepting (even embracing!) that not everything is supposed to be tailored to you in particular.

I feel the same way, everyone has to draw their own line when it comes to micro transactions. If I’m putting dozens of hours into a free game I have no problem spending money. The win10/X1 version is up scaled and has normal ratio formating but everything else about it is intact... Except the micro transactions that…

if you think brand management through on court behavior is exclusive to Kevin Durant, you must be pretty goddamn stupid.

I pretty much lost interest in pro football this year. I no longer set my Sundays (or Monday nights or Thursday nights) by it. It’s too much - oversaturation of games, the laughable system of fines/punishments which seem to be made up on the fly, and the hypocrisy of the owners/commissioner talking about player safety…

Coaching continuity is bad when that continuity is the continued employment of Jason Kidd.

42 wins means 40 losses. Not a whole lot of difference between that and 9-9.

I don’t exclude State from this. It’s ridiculous. There is no need for state police protection at these games. It’s just propaganda bullshit, extending the state’s authority and prestige over a common entertainment event, the same as playing the national anthem before a game. It’s ridiculous, especially in the…
