They asked Brad’s sister Helen to confirm but she neither heard the insult nor saw the offending pitch 

MLB - “We’re totally against anything racist, suspensions all around!”

Also MLB - “This week on Sunday Night Baseball: Braves at Indians!”

I’ll stick with mine but sure, the fifth gen is okay. The problem is, these are not cheap—you can’t touch one for under $30k, and they’re definitely not worth the $70k that some dealers are asking for black wheels and blue paint.

Yes. Because this is back to basics ruggedness.

Mr Ballaban, I am one of the 139,694 people that purchased a 4Runner last year. I bought it for the Mrs. She loves it (I got her the TRD OffRoad in black with toyota running boards). When I get to drive it i do feel like I’m in a tank though. I love when it dives from heavy braking and nose lifting when you mash that…

No one died or was injured in the Louisiana churches that burned down, I would still consider those fires a tragedy.

I appreciate pointing out the hypocrisy at play here, but this is a flavor of hot take I’m really fucking tired of. Can a tragedy just be a tragedy? Do we always have to justify our emotional responses to stuff like this by comparing it to other tragedies or excuse it by giving some explicit personal or familial…

I knew a guy once. He lost his Lord of the Family status in a best-of-three NBA Jam TE series.

Now his son writes him in as a dependent on his taxes. Boomshakalaka.

I believe that was Wilt Chamberlain’s pick up line

Wow. I read the headline last night, and thought, “Oh, so he launched a ball up into the stands. Dumb I guess, but give him a card and move on.” But holy shit he may as well have just kicked that guy straight in the face!

You mean when Dallas couldn’t defend him?

No, that’s not correct. I respect that you see it that way, but that’s objectively and literally not what she is doing. She knows what she is doing and she is doing it on purpose. She is using Trumpian agitation tactics to score rhetorical goals on those she views as enemies.

If you watched the 2006 Finals, you would have seen that Wade was by far the star player on that team. It was the most dominating individual performance post-Jordan.

“Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.”

Well, to be fair, you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a Wizard. Just ask Michael Jordan

I mean, you’re the guy writing for a sports news website and I’m just an internet commenter avoiding doing actual work on a Wednesday morning, but I get the sense that Magic had literally nothing to do with LeBron getting to the Lakers - LeBron went to the Lakers because it was the best fit for him, his business, his…

The lesson in all of this is, of course: NBA Organizations, stop hiring NBA celebrities to do jobs that aren’t celebrity jobs and require real work and dedication. I’m looking at you, Knicks and Lakers.

and it’s also why the nba is so popular right now. Nobody wants to see your breed of basketball. Whether it is fair or not, we don’t want to see it.

None your stats discredit the idea that’s it’s slow sludgy basketball. Just that out of the very few possessions, they actually scored at good percentage, this one time. They defend really well, which isn’t the problem. Its that they run the clock down on the offensive end, often doing nothing exciting until the last…
