The Boozer/West comparison is beyond laughable. I get that it sounds snide, but watch Aldridge play. His skill set is on a whole other level and doesn’t rely on Aldridge being an insane athlete.

Okay, “your” not “you’re” is what you meant. And believe it or not I’m not even a Spurs fan. I was rooting for the Clippers in their last playoff series because I’m tired of them. I honestly don’t see what I’m saying is so controversial. A successful organization plans on doing the same things that made it successful.…

Thank you! I love quoting myself:

And you’re assuming that when Pop does retire, the way the Spurs operate will drastically change or that the next Spurs coach won’t closely follow the blueprint laid out by Pop. The results may change, but the mode of operation will probably remain consistent unless there is some kind of falling out and Pop and the…

Clearly my disagreeing with you has struck a nerve. Want to talk about it? I’ll bust out the Feeling Stick and we can get real.

Like I’m not sure what is supposed to change? The Spurs have a formula and I don’t see any reason for it to change. Aldridge has no serious red flag injuries at the moment that could shorten his career, and the depth and strength of the Spurs rotation especially in the frontcourt is as strong as ever. Nothing’s…

Stating obvious facts to anyone who has watched a basketball game in the past year is taking it personally? Sure, let’s go with that. Also “done and not competitive?” Way to not only move the goalposts, but move them to a magical hot-take land not connected to this plane of existence at all. Maybe you should take a…

Okay, so I’ve imagined his soon to be 39 year old teammate? I’ve imagined his new coach maximizing the production of a group of players well into their late 30s? I’ve imagined the team depth that will reduce the strain on Aldridge and allow him to save his best basketball for the playoffs? I’ve imagined all of that?

What? Have you seen Aldridge play? He’s not a “nice addition” and he is certainly not a stopgap. On the Spurs he won’t have near the workload he did with the Blazers, plus given Pop’s skill at managing players as they age and the Spurs depth, it would not be surprising if the Spurs plan on him being around for the…

That’s exactly how nationalism works. So technically the Domican-born citizens of Haitian descent are doing this to themselves. They just need to stop.

How dare you insult nationalism even though the article is one of the many, many examples of how easily nationalism can be weaponized and used crush minority populations and get people killed, all without most citizens having to raise a finger.

I love the classics! You got your ass handed to you by a bunch of people and now you are using tone policing to try to not look like the fool you are. I wish this comment section had a nationalist immigration policy so these nice people wouldn’t feel the need to waste good words responding to you.

Amazing article. The US govt relationship to Haiti has always been shameful at best, and the US media whiffing on this is appalling. I’m hoping this is a bigger deal for the rest of the world.

Hey, bro! Read stuff! Bendis has already said that the first year of “Spider-Man” will be a sequel to the Amazing/Ultimate crossover Spider-Men, so that means Peter Parker will probably still be around.

With the exception of the Al Roker reveal, I’m pretty sure you just laid out the script for the next Seth Rogen movie.

It’s like the end of a cheap imitation Stephen Colbert sketch.

Is this like the summer of Deadspin? If that rancid low rent Cenobite Sepp Blatter does indeed go away, we can add that to Jason Whitlock going down and now the Cardinals at the very least publicly embarrassed. It’s like the universe has decided that everyone on Deadspin’s shit list is going to get it.

MISANDRY!!!

You can’t even get most unions to stick in individual democratic coutries, and as I understand it, many of these people are from North Korea. Any global union attempts would be either corrupt or viciously attacked all over the world. The only hope here is some combination of the major European football nations, major…

Careful, Obummer and his ISIS Decepticon Socialist Army might read your brave comments and send feminazi mind control waves at you.
