Weird, because I’ve been calling them the “Bulls Fucking Suck” for years...

All the Rockets & NBA want is for the news cycle to move on and allow them to go back to cashing checks from China without being called out on China’s awfulness. It doesn’t matter if this presser was on the US, in China, Japan or the freakin’ Moon.

What China is doing is also in flagrant violation of the agreement they have with Great Britain regarding the transfer of Hong Kong to China. The only reason GB isn’t doing anything about it is that they’re too busy shooting themselves in the dick with Brexit.

I seem to recall HamNo publishing a lot more yogurt posts during his stint on Deadspin. So probably the anti-Chobani content will rise exponentially...

“redistribute the headcount to the other sites”

Art Briles disagrees with your premise.

I think it’s a little early to count the Dodgers out. That team is willing to spend money like no other, plus they still have some amazing prospects coming up to the big leagues. Does that guarantee them a World Series? Of course not, but I think the Dodgers are more likely to stay relevant for at least another 5…

Your old job as in at Deadspin? Or your old old job?

I think the first choice was not accepting Jerrah’s invitation. I understand they’ve been buddies for a while, but Ellen had to know she’d get on TV yukking it up with W. What DID she think the reaction was going to be?

You are full of shit. Stop pretending that rational criticism of Israel is anti-Semetic. I am a proud Jew and I support the idea of the State of Israel but the current form is rotten to the core. Claiming otherwise is disengenious. 

Yeah...no. Evangelicals absolutely believe that. Not all. But a lot. My (Jewish) friend:s father worked with Evangelicals raising money for “the territories” and multiply admitted to him over the years that this was their end goal.

It’s fucking Turkey! Who gives a shit! What person in a position of power would actually give into Turkey —

I think this would be an appropriate usage of the term “deep state” to refer to the shadow government that keeps the endless wars going to profit the super rich, regardless of who the president is.

I think he defended Steve Kerr also, but I agree re: Harden. 

Remember when Adam Silver said he was proud of players who talk politics? Guess he should have clarified that he was talking about only American politics, not global politics...

Don’t forget Turkey is doing it’s best to make whatever team Enes Kanter is on not exist within their borders and the NBA doesn’t seem to mind about that either. And who gives a shit about Turkey! So it’s no surprise that the NBA is kowtowing to China and anyone else.

Once you get the job, you’re part of the carousel. You’ll always have at least a coordinator position and multiple shots at other HC jobs.

I didn’t know his background, thank you for adding that. Certainly does change things.

Sure but that was the olden days. There’s little in the past that I am nostalgic for, because what has replaced it is better. Except the Concorde, which ruled.
