Celtics fan here. Horford was out a week after his concussion in November.

One more thing: Throughout LeBron’s career, it seems like he’s always stuck on a team that has one or two other stars, and then a bunch of fucking dreck to fill out the roster.

All of this is true but OG Simmons from ESPN back in the day really was ground breaking before it was cliched and tired and he was basically the writing personification of this:

Ads are definitely an accurate measure of popularity. Maybe not one or two, but if you’re EVERYWHERE, you are everywhere for a reason. For a solid spell in the 90s, Griffey was one of the biggest athletes on the planet.

Griffey was absolutely, no doubt about it, a billion times more popular than Mike Trout. It’s not even close. Griffey was beloved. At the height of his popularity, I think he may’ve been the most popular baseball player I’ve ever seen with only Jeter, Ortiz, and a placeholder for someone I probably, stupidly forgot,…

Well that’s why he’s not marketable - he’s from the Philly area, aka NY and Boston’s trash bin, aka the worst people in the entire northeast - an area that, again, includes New Yorkers and Bostonians.

I always quit, build it up on the DVR, hear something intriguing, and then get caught up with it mostly as background noise. I heard they finally killed Carl and was sooo pumped and even then, it wasn’t satisfying at all. That whiney punk has had a bullet coming for him for so long and, in the end, it’s not Negan but…

I agreed with everything you said until that. As a fat guy, aisle seats are my enemy. I fly with my wife, raise the arm rest, and “comfort her because she’s scared of flying” (translation: put my arm around her and take roughly 20% of her seat too)

Dez is back at the combine?

This kinda stuff bugs me. Play to the buzzer. Ya, Colorado could have just taken a shot clock violation but if you’re not in a “can hold the ball to run out the clock” situation, just play some damn defense. They literally stopped trying. I wish they stole the ball and dunked again.

“Lisa, I’d like to buy your rock”

I use the Amex for groceries and gas (2% either way but Amex is used far less frequently so it helps build that base of points) and Chase for food out (also 2% either way) to keep building points there because I have found that booking through UR even if I don’t have points is typically the best price so I keep Chase…

True. Honestly, I only use my Blue (Everyday I guess. whatever, no fee, 3% groceries/2% gas one) for gas and groceries assuming neither the Chase Freedom or Discover IT are offering it at 5% that quarter and whichever things happen to be discounted via Amex but I’m super happy with it. For a specialized, minimal use…

It really is funny how far we’ve fallen. While Wilder was very impressive and that fight was damn entertaining for at least 4 of the rounds, is there any doubt Evander Holyfield or Lennox Lewis would put either of those 2 in a body bag in short order?

I don’t think you can pay college athletes without Title 9 becoming MUCH bigger than you think it will. If you pay a ton for men’s basketball and football - the only programs not losing money at most schools, and even then, only the top end ones - and refuse to pay women’s track & field or something, suddenly there’s…

I know people crap all over the franchise - and with reason - but she was really solid in Fast 7 or whichever one she was in.

You stop with your common sense. I hate LeBron but I would love every bit of that.

I agree with your larger point but Bosh was not better than Wade in Miami until the very end when Wade was clearly fading fast. Wade was the best player on that team BY FAR for the first half of the first season. People forget there was a lot of LeBron joining Wade’s team (and Wade actually playing better!) at first.…

Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks for clarifying!

I actually really like the Amex Blue for groceries (3%) and gas (2%) - it’s the same as what I saw or BoA but they also have very aggressive retail advertisers. I got $20 off my wife’s Valentine’s Day flower just for using 1800Flowers.com like I was going to do anyway, 10% (maybe 15?) off all Starbucks purchases, and…
