Speaking of dying, when senior week ends, what happens? I’ll need my Burneko fix somewhere. No disrespect to your colleagues, but you and Magary kill it on here. Does this just disappear? I don’t want to see Hamilton Nolan writing the sequel to the communist manifesto on stolen toilet paper in Grand Central. Tell me…

It sure says a lot that despite the fact that her cousin murdered his dad with a light saber, she’s still regarded as the biggest asshole in the entire family.

Usually the boos is only a problem at her family parties.

Three-peat with win totals of 74, 76, and 77 wins in ascending order. Plus a perfect 16-0 in the playoffs on the 77-5 team beating the superteam of James, Paul, Melo, and Wade.

Now that a microscope is on them as a championship caliber team with good players around them, everyone…

Goodness is contextual. Cleveland’s “big 3" is a poorly chosen group that doesn’t come close to maximizing what its best players can do because of talent overlap. Miami’s “big 3" was a slightly awkward fit that basically worked because Bosh could still contribute in big ways despite being marginalized with respect to…

This is weird to me. I get not liking someone because of their personality, but it always strikes me as odd when people say they dislike someone because they didn’t reach their potential.
