I think it’s unfair to the readers to mention the Deadspin Slack without actually posting screenshots of the conversations

Show of hands: who now wants to see a picture of this agent?

The true baseball heroes like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio only have a WAR of 1, because the only WAR true baseball fans care about is World War II. Let me know when Mike Trout kills a Nazi.

On the Mahinmi point, all I could think about was Scott Brooks trotting out a totally done Kendrick Perkins when he was with OKC.

Caps would’ve won if not for all the Penguin’s ILLEGAL GOALS. So many bad goals allowed by terrible (or sick) reffs! VERY UNFAIR !

Why should he need insurance? He hasn’t been a threat to anyone driving in 5 years.

Complete oversimplification, but it seems like Wall raises a team beyond its expectations, whereas Paul’s teams fall short every time. And with all due respect to the circumstances (untimely injuries, Doc Rivers) causing the latter to weigh against Paul, I go with Wall any day of the week.

Something tells me you won’t need to worry about anyone talking to you...

Why doesn’t the NBA mind the player-for-a-day thing when it comes to Derrick Rose?

FWIW, as a Chiefs fan, I’d take Romo as my starting QB every day of the week.

At least he kept with his average and only scored 2 in that video

I wouldn’t really call any of the responses from Puerto Rican players burns, they basically come off as “hey you may have beaten our asses in the final, but unlike you at least we gave a fuck about the tournament!” That’s more of a self-burn than anything else

‘Look at this, right now you’re in spring training working out, and we’re with our people, with our silver medals.’  

“None of our main guys say no to the baseball classic.”
