Okay, I’ve narrowed this down some. The top distraction (and I believe those same women are in the second one) is the work of the Houston Rockets mascot. Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and here is the group posing together on Facebook:

“Don’t worry, Raptors fan. I have the same reaction everythime I see or think of Gay.”

This is an excellent point. Trump says some ridiculously stupid things, and there is a smack of fascism in some of that stuff, but the guy overall is relatively moderate. Cruz is a fucking nut job. All I needed to see the other day was Trump to admit that he wouldn’t let sick people die in the streets without medical…

I’d take Trump over Cruz any day of the week.

Amen. I’m pretty convinced that if you took the ‘93 Suns and time-warped them right now to this “easier” NBA, the Warriors would sweep them by an average margin of about 18 points per game.

That’s one of the Warriors’ secrets, and really every team should illegal screen as much as they do. It’s almost never called, and worth picking up an offensive foul or two a game to get away with 30 moving screens.

I couldn’t use this Getty shot of Whiteside stuffing the shit out of Green for the lead image because it isn’t horizontal, but it’s great:

Samer: Tim, I need to head over to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Fan Fest to see if someone brought their dog. It’ll be a great afternoon post to put up on Deadspin.

Steph is our master, but the TNT directors made the right call here: Kobe being enthusiastic for a teammate scoring is much more newsworthy than Steph Curry making a half-court jumper.

The federal budget deficit has declined every year from 2009 to 2015 already.

Right, the athletic department funds itself, but without any classes for the players to attend, none of them will be eligible to play.

Wow. If voodoo economics can’t work in Louisiana...

Never let anyone tell you being famous doesn’t have its benefits.

That shit is pseudo-Czech, not “Belgian.”

Pretty sure it has been that way in the major American team sports for a while (not just a decade as the post suggests). The classic Lite Beer Tastes Great/Less Filling ads only involved retired athletes, if memory serves, although I think there were active coaches making pitches (Billy Martin comes to mind)

Pretty disgusting that Manning would use this opportunity to shill for Budweiser. Especially when he owes this win to Miller.

From what I remember the flap about endorsing alcohol began after Brett Favre’s substance issues in the mid 90s. The league can be sponsored by a beer company but players cannot endorse alcohol....The Ginger hammer thinks there’s nothing hypocritical about thatat all.....

How can you do anything but laugh at that? All that drivel all day long about the legacy of his illustrious HOF career and his undying love of the game, then in one fell swoop he makes it all about the money and nothing more. You’ve been had again, NFL fans, now run along and go get drunk like a good lad, hmmm?

Or he’s such a commercial whore he can’t help throwing in his endorsements whenever possible. He’s hardly shy and retiring given he and his fivehead show up on my TV screen every 15 minutes on the dot.

Your trolling is exceptionally bad for a white guy.
