All this hockey on Deadspin today and Patrick Kane is nowhere to be found.

Kyrie was drafted #1. Love is Wiggins (#1)replacement. LeBron is both. Tristan was drafted at #4. That is a team built through the draft.

Yeah that seems kind of misleading without going into why Andrew Wiggins is playing in Minnesota.

We’re still years from finding out if the process was actually worth it or not, I don’t see why people want to speculate on it right now.

I just don’t get it. Especially not after we just saw a championship won by the team that won the lottery three times in four years and led by....the guy they drafted #1 overall.

This is a dumb thing that Deadspin has tried to make into a running gag, and it’s just not working because they’ve taken the exactly incorrect stance. It would be like trying to do a pro-Cardinals or pro-Cincinnati chili gag.

Nobody ever thought Burneko was smart

I don’t know. A lot of this reads like what got written in places like LA and Toronto about Moneyball after DePodesta and Ricciardi got fired. The strategy is a bad one because it failed and so on.

The Sixers had a 26.9% chance to win the draft, not 25!

Except it’s likely to be a neighbor who looks just like you but is tired of you and your fucked up friends partying loudly while smoking out.

Maddon did something that a guy whose team is lousy with great hitters can do

As opposed to the basic tactic of knowing that eventually, the Reds will toss J.J. Hoover out on the mound.

I’m not stupid, bro.

Yeah but those vacation days are distributed throughout the year, 10 % of a nation’s population - that’s probably 15 % or more of its workforce - going on a weeks long vacation at the same time, that’s pretty amazing. It could definitely lead to some labor shortages in certain industries.

There already WAS a good version of 500 Days of Kristin. It was called “500 Days of Kristin.”

Yes, I would rake your lawn if you paid for my meals and my college education. And I wouldn’t have to major in lawn maintennance. Sigh.

Does your lawn cutting and weed pulling school have a 100+ year track record of providing a degree that has actual value, and will there be 20,000-30,000 other students at your university willing to pay $50,000 per year in order to learn those skills from you? Because if so, then your analogy is entirely apt!
