Found the kid! Keep trolling now before mom and dad come home and make you do your chores.

It can be - and likely was - both.

Na, they definitely tried. They made some really short-sighted and stupid moves to get Larry Hughes (3rd option and wildly overpaid after striking out on Ray Allen and Michael Redd) and Antawn Jamison. It just didn’t work out but he was ruining teams’ longterm outlooks for short term gain even then. He’s the GOAT…

Sure but the second he had a primetime special, I assumed he was coming back (neutral observer in Boston) because “why would you break up with your hometown in an hour long primetime TV special instead of just signing???”

It’s just such an odd reference though. Had Brady caught that, even with how open the field was, does anyone expect that old man to sprint to the end zone? Also, he could’ve been MVP on a losing team. He set records in the game so the whole inclusion in “the end isn’t pretty” list seems odd.

a perennial all star who likely won’t be anywhere near all star status til at least late spring assuming rehab goes well.  He could be damaged goods at this point and fade back to Antonio McDeuss on the Pistons level.

Pierce is my favorite player ever and the namesake for this burner but he asked out in ‘05 and was going to Portland (we were drafting CP3 at #3 with the pick) but Pierce didn’t want to go to Portland. There were also rumors that he was going to/had asked out if they had gotten a top 3 pick in the ‘07 draft and been…

By April he should round back into form. I fully expect him to be DOMINANT in the playoffs and for this statement to look foolish in 11 months. When you have to actually pay attention to their big instead of “just don’t allow easy dunks” then the looks the Splash Brothers and their tryhard step brother (that’s you KD)…

I don’t because of that anymore.  At this point, everyone knows the score.  If you still decide to play, it’s an informed decision which is A LOT more than we could say 10-20 years ago.  I’d risk those downsides for the chance at $10-50M for sure.  

I don’t watch eSports and don’t particularly see the appeal in it but have tried to “get it” and educate myself and enjoyed your work even as someone who didn’t actively seek out the subject matter itself. Best of luck and thanks for helping me try to not be as much of an old

This melodramatic crap is why I hate LeBron. He’s a primadonna dbag (who also happens to be a top 3 basketball player ever)

Ya, because there’ve been so many match fixing issues in the NFL. At a certain point, the cost to fix the match becomes far greater than any possible benefit.

I’ve always loved that one. Athletes make millions because they are the product of a billion dollar industry. I think eSports are boring and I don’t get why anyone would want to watch it but I know damn well that if they start to make big money, it’s not “derp because they are playing a game” but because they are the…

Agreed. PG with 1 knee was a superstar. Ever since he got himself a second knee with Team USA way back, he hasn’t been quite the same. 

Simple - LeBron is a 4 in today’s NBA being a super rich man’s Draymond.  Rolling out Ball (who I can’t imagine Pop wants any part of in any trade,) PG, Kawhi, LeBron, and fill in the blank 5 is a monster lineup.

Obama apologized to Japan for dropping NUKES seventy years ago and got called a p*ssy.  There’s no way that’s happening.

Ya, well we already lost the Supreme Court for a generation and the tax code’s already done so their fuckery will take decades to undo either way.  We’re such p*$$ies til it’s far, far too late :(

Drew listed the GOATs earlier but missed this.  This is the GOAT baseball tantrum followed shortly by the minor league guy who commando crawled out to the mound and chucked the bag like a grenade.

OF COURSE this is a minor league team stunt.

No because for all of his many faults Trump is a GREAT speaker at rallies for his audience. This would be like if Trump delivered one of his rally speeches and everyone in (insert random red state here) just yawned and asked for W back.
