Once again, as a filthy libertarian, I have to ask, how does this fit into an alleged philosophy of smaller government, which conservatives claim to champion? This is the polar opposite, as it’s bringing government into the most private of places (not to mention they love attempting to bring government into the…

Yeah! The NBA used to not be dominated by a couple teams! Continues to cite the 80s and 90s... The Lakers won 5 championships in the 80s and made it to 8! 3 rings for the Celtics and 5 appearances. Sixers and Pistons take one. On to the 90s. Same Pistons team wins 1. Bulls win 6. Rockets 2. Next the Spurs and Lakers…

This is pretty fucking strong for a stream of consciousness rant.

Parity sucks. The 80s and 90s were full of great teams and then the greedy owners sold fans on the mythical “small market”. (There is no such thing as a small market team.) They got the fans to angrily hate teams that payed players what they were worth, by lying about what they could afford to spend in order to…

If there were no salary cap and no max contracts, some teams would undoubtedly spend more, and then all teams would have to spend more, increasing both the potential risk and reward of building a team. 

I think that we (the regular readers) are all very frustrated by people continuing to vote against their interests or not vote at all. What is the solution though? How do we get these people to wake up and get their heads out of their asses?

This is pretty small potatoes. “I don’t know that I knew him” could easily translate into “I don’t remember if I knew him” in 2015 (but not “I did not know him”).

It’s 3, 4 and 5. Anyone who thinks Rod Blum is going to have any trouble sleeping based on yesterday’s town hall meeting is fooling themselves. He knows full well that the vast, overwhelming majority of people at that auditorium are going to pull the lever for him in the next election, because apparently the only…

RM were, as they say, streets ahead of Athleti in this match. Barely a contest. If Benzema had any sort of form it could have been 5 or 6 to nil.

3 goals, 0 celebrations with Bale.

There’s a really filthy efficiency to this

Let’s do our reveling regardless. COYS!

Cool. Are we gonna get a recap of Sunday’s NLD or what? I know the Deadspin staff are die-hard Gooners (it autocorrected that to “Goobers”—which is accurate) but... it would be nice to do some revelling TBH.

As a guy who wasn’t watched Bears football in two years, letting go is surprisingly easy and fulfilling. I was a pretty big fan earlier in life too. But my mix of distaste for the league and an expanded knowledge of what football does to a human body has facilitated the process.

Their team hashtag (#BearWithUs) doesn’t inspire confidence

Glennon probably is pissed, yeah. He really stuck his neck out to sign with Chicago, and that’s no easy feat for him to do.

So would it be Wyane Wae?

Enough of your teachings, Buddha, I’m almost on level six in this sweet meditation app! In your stupid game I was just stuck in level samsara the whole time!

If they can’t beat Celta Vigo and Lyon to win the Europa League with only the rest of their massively expensive roster and not a 35-year-old free transfer, they’ve got a lot bigger problems than his knee.

He will undergo testing as fears mount that he is showing signs of early onset MLS.
