One word: Ego.

Least favorite sports moment of the year? Clicking on this link to view LeBron’s game 4 Finals dunk...

“Enberg’s voice has that air of Midwestern Nice to it, and it often sounds like he’s smiling as he speaks.”

A guy I worked with told me a friend of his was getting married to a woman named Anita Hooker. I said GTFO and he swore by it, even said she wasn’t planning to change her name. I didn’t believe him until I found her on LinkedIn - and still can’t believe there’s seven profiles out there for women with that name. Way to…

It’s like your take gets better the more threads you post it in.

The real shocker here is that Darren Rovell did some actual reporting.

Ah yes, I remember my father telling me that years ago: “Companies want to hire people with the best qualifications and experience. Unless it’s the NFL and you’re black, where despite there being thousands of current and former black players and assistant coaches, with tens of thousands of hours of experience, you’ll…

I’m not sure terror would be one of the emotions. The sheer excitement of living a fantasy and being surrounded by some of the best players in the world would pump so much adrenaline into your bloodstream you’d probably be delirious.

The history of NHL teams doing this goes back decades. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of it happening in other sports, though I could imagine it might with NFL place kickers. A story on or list of average joes by sport who’ve gotten one-day backup contracts (or even played!) would definitely be a good blog post.…

I feel ashamed for laughing, as this is an undeniably awful but also undeniably laugh out loud funny comment.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of city-states. Worked (for a pretty long while) for the Greeks and Romans. No reason New York can’t be an island (with the exception of the Bronx, the boroughs actually are on islands, and I doubt anyone cares if the Bronx doesn’t get included).

As a parent of a couple of kids in religious school (ex’s choice, not mine), I can state unequivocally that private schools have an endless array of fundraising scams and grifts they use - selling candy bars and shit is for the plebes in public school.

Ignore him. He’s just upset because he feels that damn Mexican “Luis Vitton” stole all of those good American jobs making luxury goods and then is selling them in “Chinese” stores for less money where they get stolen by young basketball playing “thugs” who listen to too much “gangster rap” and should be more grateful…

Gord is obviously a classic old guy name in Canada (right up there with Wayne and Jim), but I go to Toronto a bit and have cousins in Ontario, and the sheer number of men up there between the ages of 35-50 named either Steve or Mike is astounding.

Well, I can’t answer for the guy you called retarded - and I’m sure you’ll have some snappy retort for me too - but statistics alone tell us that Kaepernick, who has a lifetime 72-30 TD-INT ratio, has thrown for over 13,000 yards and run for 2,800 (reg. season and playoffs), and has a career QBR of 88.9 (higher than 9…

I don’t know which went up faster: your post, or Russell’s that night. But I’m guessing yours will stay up longer and get more stars.

Hey! That sounds like my ex-wife’s small family business!

You don’t mention Buddy’s? Damn, man. Are you even from the D?

“The hand that feeds you”? Lololololol. The only thing the American worker has been fed for the last 30 years is a steaming pile of shit. Wages for the lower and middle classes have grown at a 2-3% rate, while C-suite pay has grown at 10x that. Ever notice how that happened simultaneously with the decline of unions?

Thanks man. At least you could see clear to what I was trying to get at - yes, the NHL does send more teams to the playoffs than not. But so does the NBA, and no-one trots that shit out every April in advance of the NBA playoffs, where inevitably the bottom four teams in each conference will be trounced by the top…
