Dammit, I just lost $50 in the Dead Pool to that asshole Tim in accounting who had Penny Marshall.

Bill Simmons’ idea of building a pyramid shaped Hall of Fame is great because...

Damn, those are the kind of riding conditions that make me (a rider of far less skill, stamina, and dedication) stay indoors and binge Netflix.

So... ahhh, where might one purchase pants like the pair Kurt Browning was wearing in that video?  Asking for a friend.

The whole “Warriors are coasting but will turn it on when the time comes” narrative scares me since history has shown that sometimes teams try to “turn it on” and “It” ain’t there anymore.

Imagine being such a garbage human being that your awfulness transcends sport and you become known for being awful to citizens of the world?

+1. Either he has at least a casual knowledge of some/most of those tweeters, he’s a better actor than I thought, OR both (let’s all agree it’s both)  I watched for the bad tweets, but was genuinely entertained by his readings.

While I don’t agree with your original piping hot take (but would happily give you shit about it debate it over a few beers), this sentiment is the unvarnished truth.

You’re 100% right - folks with AOL email addresses will absolutely have strong opinions on Babe Ruth!

Today’s reminder that I’ve become really old: I remember watching that game live. The difference in clarity between the clip from 1986 and yesterday’s clip is shocking. What were they filming with back then, a disposable camera?

This question reminded me of an ESPN article where Anthony Roddick has to play with a frying pan. http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=3073902

“You know, the gut of a 239-pound financial genius who’s only been bankrupt a half dozen times...”

Yeah, how did that chuckle-fuck escape the grays while my scintillating wit still toils in un-seen obscurity? Maybe I need to be more “edgey”

RE: his NBA body. I think he looks “kinda average” when compared to some of the chiseled guys in the league now and he never seems like he’s moving that fast (those dorky tights aren’t helping the aesthetics either).

I’m giddy right now. Bigs handling the ball like guards, shooting 3's regularly, and dunking with impunity. And so many 6'8"-ish players that can cover 4 positions.

Can’t wait to buy the tour T-Shirt!

The ideas you just wrote down are now at the top of my Christmas list. If Santa brings me that scenario, I’ll never ask him for another gift.

This thought made me happy, and it is the truth!  Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

According to Gladwell, Ewing was born in Jamaica and Jamaicans trace their DNA history back to Western Africa so.... Ewing is coming off the bench for the “Nigerian Allstars”

I got that vibe too, but Zion is pretty muscular and Barkley was rightly named the Round Mound of Rebound.  Both defied physics, but with different aesthetics.
