Ah man, congrats to your son. What a cool experience for his first game. Read more

Eh, the tip-slam was a fine and important play, but playing along with the idea that this goes any distance toward balancing out the earlier humiliation is Extreme Cornball Homer Shit. For one thing, Giannis was already beneath the hoop when that ball came off it and all Simmons did was jump up behind him, rather than… Read more

Rather by definition, standing still and not playing basketball, instead of playing basketball, actually is not part of the game of playing basketball. Read more

Yeah, this is what makes his bit about demagogues so insidious, to me. It’s broadly true that “Demagogues rise by talking about issues that matter to people,” but it absolutely does not follow that those issues therefore are serious or even real. Demagogues have quite a long and blood-drenched history of demonizing… Read more

He could be washed. The trendlines in his career have mostly been downward since the 73-win season, and he never seemed all that likely to age gracefully, given his sketchy shooting and tweener size. Read more

C’mon, man. No memes, no reaction GIFs. We don’t do that here. Read more

The general point we’re making is that “Wow, there sure are some wild rumors out there (which I will not share with you)” does not serve readers. Whereas “Wow, there sure are some wild rumors out there; here’s what I’m hearing” actually does serve readers. Therefore the latter is better than the former. That’s the… Read more

My friend, we had the exact same take on AD as on this, and I encourage you to go back and re-read the post(s) that you’re either misunderstanding or willfully misrepresenting. Read more

If they don’t want to discuss the rumors, publicly back-patting themselves for having heard those rumors in the first place maybe isn’t the move! Read more

Jeopardy should be a cabinet department, IMO Read more

This blog was not a prediction about what would happen, you buncha shitheads! It was an expression of hope for what could happen! Read more

Fuck off. Read more

Nobody ever thought the Lakers were contenders! Read more

Please do not use meme gifs on our website. They look terrible and by definition they’re unoriginal. You’re mostly a good commenter but I will have to boot you into hell if you do more of this. Read more

It’s important to note that Kobe was not convicted of anything in connection with the 2003 Eagle, Colorado case, because his lawyers successfully bullied the victim into refusing to participate in the trial by repeatedly revealing her identity to the public and threatening to use her sexual history against her in… Read more

Yeah, that’s it. Not hurr ya gotta honor your commitments, pal. Read more

Yeah, more or less, though you’ll want to use fresh green chili peppers, like New Mexico or hatch peppers, and it’s a good idea to blast the shit out of them with heat first so their skins blister and blacken and can be peeled off. You’ll get a smoother sauce with a better taste that way. Read more

Okay yes, the chin-balancing guy also is good. Read more

Those are great! But I feel like those are usually quarter-break entertainment, or during timeouts, rather than halftime. Read more

Yes it is. It’s horrifying and monstrous. But believe it or not, it still falls to the actual justice system—and not a professional football league—to prove that that’s what Robert Kraft did. That still hasn’t happened. After that’s done, if it’s done, the NFL can decide what it wants to do with an owner who’s been… Read more
