Hopefully this third triumvirate ends with fewer murders than the other two.

Yes—though grammatical perfection on relatively arbitrary choices wasn’t exactly the goal of the joke. More importantly, who is pedantic about shined/shone but apparently unbothered by the split infinitive?

Barry Sanders was wonderful. He’s the reason I went on to play running back, eventually getting recruited to Alabama in 2009 where I went on to win two BCS National Championships. Although I did win the Doak Walker award, I was disappointed to only be a Heisman finalist. Barry inspired me so much that I ended up being…

Must be fun to start the week with some hot dogs!

If Bauer’s drone could fly a bit higher, he’d see that Kepler’s in a different orbit.

I’m curious what new skillset this demands of catchers?

First I asked myself who would want a collector’s jersey commemorating LeBron’s saddest season yet. Then I remembered how many people hate LeBron. 

I’ve turned this commentary into an mp3, and I’ll fall asleep listening to it every night for the rest of my life. 

Someone needs to extend the tampering rules so that Magic can be fined for tweets like that. 

Shouldn’t we be insulting each other already? I don’t know how civilly to exchange different views online.

I mean, yes the Lakers aren’t well run. But do you mean to say that signing Boogie for 3.5 million is a bad decision? That’s a great get for any team, I think.

Not quite as bad as leaping over the net and nutting on your opponent. But close.

I normally like Nadal quite a bit, but his comment in the presser about Kyrgios trying to hit him was hilariously lame. “Sometimes he’s dangerous. When he hit the ball like this, [it] is dangerous,” Nadal said. “[It] is not dangerous for me, [it] is dangerous for a line referee, dangerous for a crowd. When you hit the…

Two fascinating press conferences today. Venus’ comment that Gauff played really well, “even her shanks went in” was extremely petty. But to be fair, Venus was also asked the world’s worst question about how she and Gauff don’t just play similar tennis, they have a similar body. Wish I knew what dumbass asked that.

“Which headless corpses, specifically?”

It’s amazing how in trying to refute every one of the original poster’s points you couldn’t have done a better job of demonstrating how absolutely correct the desire was. 

What Pelinka is doing to what Magic built is like what Rome did to Carthage. 

Mes que un club. Just like the car wash down the street from me is more than a car wash.

I think most games I wish there were no VAR. But as long as it’s here to stay there are, I think, three things it can and should do, and it wouldn’t be so bad if they would limit the technology to those three. In order from objectively better for the game to less objectively better:

I think that’s right. And I also don’t think his comments were only about the emotional reactions. There were also the two challenges that reasonably could have been straight reds and the spitting—who knows if on purpose, but if it was that’s pretty gross.
