you know, it really isn’t nice to speak ill of the dead...

No way does the NBA get all teams to win a title before the NFL. To win an NBA title, you need to be one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the league. To win a Super Bowl, you just need to make the playoffs and get lucky. Yes, the NFL has dumpster fire franchises like the Lions. But the NBA has teams like the Clippers:…

What?

I think the Turner sentence is a travesty. That said, I do see tension in the demand that high profile bad criminals get stiff sentences and the desire to reduce mass incarceration, which is driven by stiff sentences handed out to low profile bad criminals.

Great thyming on this post, Emma.

It's pretty accurate considering Golden State got smoked last night.

The problems around mass incarceration stem from the tremendous number of people imprisoned for victimless crime (often drug related). I think rape is one of those crimes where we are fine with throwing the book at them.

Also in the fourth quarter Kyrie or Lebron would would set up by getting a pick and forcing Curry to switch to the ball-handler. That was actually a brilliant strategy and another way to expose the weakness of the “switch everything” philosophy. Lue did a great job. Rotations were good, he called time outs to cut GS…

How much of it as that for your regular regular season game the opposing team only has time — given the NBA schedule — to do minimal game planning and practicing and changing of its own sets to adjust to the Warriors unusual lineup. So on any given regular season night you have team X running its usual sets against…

Said this on another thread but it got buried, so I’ll mention it one last time and shut up. The best regular season teams in the 4 major sports (‘96 Red Wings, ‘01 Mariners [Modern era. Sorry dead ball Cubs], ‘07 Patriots, ‘16 Warriors) all choked in the playoffs.

I’m sure lots of people have similar antecdotes, but I distinctly remember my brother coming out about seventeen years ago while we were both still in high school. I remember my mom crying, but only because she was worried about how people would treat him, even in NY. I was fifteen and really worried too.

I really almost think that parental leave (both kinds) should just be required. That way there is no pressure to come back quickly or not take advantage of it, and no one looks "better" or "worse" for taking/not taking it. Just give everyone a "Congratulations, we will see you in X amount of time."

Adam LaRoche would like to have a word with you.

You think a guy who wants a long term contract with the Jets gives a damn about winning.

The Pulse massacre has launched Anderson into full IDGAF mode.

Her attempts to elide the queerness of most of the dead (and thus why they were targeted) by insisting that the dead were merely “Floridians” and “human beings” was maddening. Oh, so LBTQ people are sex deviants when they want to marry, and child molesters when they want to use a bathroom, but it takes dying to be…

Wow. A journalist asking challengingly confrontational questions like a journalist is supposed to do. And asking follow ups to challenge the answers, no less.

this is a dupe post but kinja won't let me delete on mobile I'm so sorry my life is a total dumpster fire
