my mistake. thx!

Listen to Myers at the presser. “Steve Kerr and I were involved” in the decision to suspend. He makes no strong case for what Green has to change. He does not defend the suspension. He talks only about moving forward, and “these things happen.” Is that someone who has issued a big financial and emotional punishment to…

I’ve never understood why pro athletes need a CBA. Genuinely curious if you know labor economics and can explain? They are not typical laborers who can be replaced/downsized, so I would think they could command larger salaries in a free market like capitalism. The owners make off like bandits (Sterling made what, $2B…

What I like about this is the moment when Igoudala come right into the argument in the huddle and talks with Green and Klay and Durant. The Warriors and all teams have fights and pretty violent disagreements. What, Durant should say “Nice try, Dray. Get ‘em next time!” No fucking way. Duran says “Give the ball…

Locker rooms are tough and aggressive places. If she said made the joke in the wrong way it could backfire but probably introducing yourself by making a joke like this is smart and just signals she’s not intimidated which is going to be here biggest obstacle with players.

“Timmy,” Van Wagenen said Wednesday, per the AP, “is not a guy you want to put restraints on. If he sees a block, he’s going to work that much harder to go overcome whatever somebody places on him. I believe in him.”

Ruined it so bad he only bought one $400 court side seat for his cosplay.

First, that guy in the picture needs to tell James Bond where the nuclear device is. Then we can talk rule changes, buddy. 

I see what you mean about healthcare because big pharma and insurance companies are really killing it on the healthcare front. Sorry, meant really killing us. I’ll take my chances with government thanks.

You were being facetious? Is that a fancy word for an asshole?

She could have stayed in the gray area of I have a Native American ancestor I’m very proud of and recognize I am a white woman. Then she can call trump an a-hole and not be an idiot. But Nick nails wh6 she didn’t.

substitute stats for analytics and uppercut for launch angle and this really isn’t that new. The avalanche of data is new, and a lot of baseball people are in love with it. It’s not a healthy, I’m keeping my old friends love either. Managers need to find a balance, some are bad at that. But you can’t dump the…

Pressly is stupid to lay out the red meat for the Boston fans. I feel the need for a Fenway bullpen feed with audio for this series to see how creative they get. All’s fair and comes with the territory if you ask me.

While we’re here. Something that has to stop: saying that George Bush and Bush Sr. look good compared to Trump and it was not so bad after all. No, no, no. They were just as bad no matter what Trump does, and Trump is awful separate from how bad they were. I have heard this cute quip about how Bush seems tame in…

Unless you say something mean about cops, you will always get your lifetime achievement award from the NFL.

A huge percentage of athletes would fail our sense of what a good person is, many could be prosecuted for crimes. Same with artists. We know this in our gut. We keep rooting. We keep watching and listening, because we are celebrating the performance not the performer. People will keep doing this because character is…

Ford’s attorney did a terrible prep job. She should have a) talked about her stable marriage etc b) listed her teaching credentials, detailed her education, c) read student and peer reviews and praise of her work etc. She was left looking sad, traumatized, and nervous. Personally, I found her compelling and admire her …

Got it. I was spamming my new knowledge of the vagaries of NLI penalties up and down the thread and thought you were referring to his math about losing a year being wrong, my bad.

No, apparently penalty is loss of a year eligibility http://www.nationalletter.org/nliProvisions/penaltyBasic.html

It is right, apparently penalty is loss of a year eligibility http://www.nationalletter.org/nliProvisions/penaltyBasic.html
