i didn’t know delly’s contract wasn’t from the cavs WOW

Not a bad chime-in at the end by the nerd on the right... though I guess he could’ve googled it during the “debate”.

This is gonna sound crazy, but I’m pretty sure that—in the moment— I’ve 100% agreed with every positive AND negative thing ever written or said about $immons. I have no idea what it is that makes the guy so polarizing, but I think most people by now would agree that his show sucks.

That was a writer with a very specific voice, & not to be rude, but I was hoping for backlash from someone with more credentials. She kinda used that speech as a vehicle to retroactively pin an agenda on Wallace and/or the WHITE MEN WHO BECAME RICH OFF OF HIM(!), a cowardly move for a number of reasons. I’m certain of…

“the overcorrecting backlash against Wallace that seems fashionable lately”

Evan’s question has me pondering another: Is the 25 calories in bubble gum assuming you swallow the gum? Because I’ve been assuming they know nobody swallows the gum & the 25 calories comes from swallowing all the sugar. So naturally, I spit my bubble gum juice into a spittoon now.

I have a beautiful conspiracy theory regarding the story of Deuce’s post-A&M years that’d actually be worthy of the front page on this site.

“But in the real world, it pays to operate under a guise of phony politeness and thinly veiled passive aggression. That’s the proper Minnesotan way of going about your business. “Oh, so you think women who dye their hair are all practicing witches? Well, that’s certainly an interesting perspective! More potato salad?”

“I suppose to some extent, it’s always been like this for James. The conversation around him has a peculiar tendency to twist and fold in on itself until it has basically nothing to do with his ability as a player.”

this is a fascinating exploration into a case that nobody ultimately gives a shit about, except obviously robert young. and robert young just might care enough to have one asher delmott nudged off the “track” if ya know what i’m sayin. we’ll see if young comes back cheekily “Shush!”-ing us like Santa C.

i’m very surprised to see something from ‘09 on the first page of an “outlining tools” search. i must be older than i thought?? help.

in the moment i was sincerely hoping LuSu would gain a moment of composure & deliver the funniest “bashing the gatorade jug” outburst ever by biting the glass dugout thing he whacked his shoe against. woulda totally disarmed the situation. america loves laughs.

mel gibson was a loser in that movie IMO

obviously, break the pasta. that’s obvious & i think most people have known that since they could reach the stove. but what is this supposedly well-known mistake of miscalculating the proper pot size? are there people out there who forget how big spaghetti is if they haven’t cooked it in a while? because those people…

it’s easy to forget the kid’s only 24 because of how advanced he already is as a scorer. but the rest of his game is probably developing slower than the cavs have hoped, & he’s in a crisis right now because he’s taking things off the table when his shots aren’t falling. only a team with lebron on it could ever leave…

the first time i heard kickstart my heart, it was played for me by a meathead buddy of mine when we were both about 15 years old, & had established reasonably good tastes in music. i thought he was kidding, until he played it again in the car on the way to school for the 20th day in a row. by then it had grown on me…

my opinion on gilbert completely changed after seein that 60 Minutes piece on him & the approach (/money) he’s using to make Detroit a decent place to live again. he’s definitely a child, but in a much more tolerable way than an owner like jim irsay.

a delightful thought experiment to be sure, i was immediately inclined to go the Butterfly Effect route Barry mentioned. Give the ‘96 NBA Finals to the SOnics, who probably don’t leave Seattle because who leaves a city that has a pre-teenaged championship banner hanging in the stands. this also keeps MJ hungry & maybe…

“And then you would hope and pray for a SECOND bomb to hit their stadium, this time during a homestand.”

such a trollin-ass headline...
