Admittedly haven’t done a ton of research (not on the China-Hong Kong history, but specifically the NBA-China beef) so hoping someone can give a quick recap of Yao Ming’s involvement to date? I know Silver talked about how “hot” Yao was at the situation when it first came up, but has he spoken out since shit first hit…

Couldn’t agree more. I think you hit on why I liked him (and Vince for that matter) so much-he scored with such ease and made it look pretty (mostly; there was a ton of iso in his game but that was a sign of the times I’d say).

This reminds me of when my uncle absolutely destroyed my argument about some topic a long ass time ago. I don’t even recall the topic because I was that thoroughly put in my place. You’ve done that here to the OP and I’m clapping.

Anyone ever does anything like this to my mother, life no parole is what I’m in for if given even the chance to get near the perp(s). I don’t fault you for having violent thoughts swirling in your brain as it relates this; Everyone fucking should.

For that period of time, in-his-prime T Mac was one of my favorite players to watch.... second only to his cousin Vince. 

You know what they say, a stranger with a poop towel is a friend indeed.

Ok I think I got it, please confirm this is an accurate representation of what we’d like to see:

Ha, can’t argue there whatsoever. I think it’s funny to just assume the letter writer is one of those people who either has a ton of money to spend on fancy shit but forgets certain necessities like having ample wash towels, or someone who doesn’t have a ton of money but who has a taste for the finer things, requiring…

YES. Spent a few too many seconds trying to think of a witty play off Supersize Me, and you came through. Kudos.

Right? How about this, fancy Mr. Asswater- use the poop towel both for your ass and your face, and report back your findings after 30 days. A “Supersize Me” kind of situation, if you will.

You spanked the comment section, Tom. Complete and utter spanking.

Factual. Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube man? Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube man? Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube man!

I mean I can’t say I disagree with the idea of starting Haskins from here on out (although I have absolutely zero issue with Colt starting against the Pats, at all). I am just far too bitter with far too many aspects of this team that I want him to start fresh next year regardless. My thought process isn’t all that…

Ha! A direct, humble, and honest statement meant to capture the heart of a woman you love. I can dig it.

......And he’s objectively the best option, at least right this moment.

Archduke Ferdinand, anyone present during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and Hitler. The last one only because it would be entertaining to watch current conservatives trip over themselves as Hitler agrees with everything this administration has done thus far.

You’re operating under the impression he wipes period.... I have my reservations about both that and whether or not he flushes or washes his hands. Nasty fuck.

Lol of fucking course. I thank you for sharing, that’s actually somehow worse than I’d have assumed. Been trying to ignore him altogether, but still morbidly curious to hear about his shit takes.

Alexi Lalas has a take on this. Not sure what it is, but it is not a good take. Thats all.

This was very descriptive, so much so that it put me back behind the bar I haven’t tended in 10 years. Props to you for that vivid stroll down memory lane.
