All the money that Wade made for Miami, Miami does owe him. That is why I never get mad at these crazy contracts for aging stars (like say a Jeter on the Yanks). I realize that those contracts are mostly a thank you for the titles. Miami should have opened up the wallet and gave in.

I like the addition of Draymond - it will answer some big questions, like ‘How much padding does a foreskin actually provide?’

Thank you for saving me the time from reading any of his garbage article. What a garbage pov.

i’d bet Ted had some of them Student Deferrals to stay out of SE Asia.

Among the people who conscientiously objected to the Vietnam War and were sent to prison is my uncle. While in prison he decided he needed to become a lawyer to affect actual change. He practiced law in a civil rights capacity for the rest of his working life. Now semi-retired and working for the ACLU.
