I thought the most impressive series of “Well this is my game now” moments was when he just took Lance to the post like three straight possessions, then they switched a larger defender on him (Bogdanovic I think) and he hit a long two right in his face. Read more
It would be lunacy not to assume he’s going to come back down to earth sooner rather than later, but holy shit this is unreal. As a child, there were three things I always dreamed of seeing before I died:

Oh no, now the Browns will be bad. Read more
Let’s talk about the moment where we decided to stop watching.
Mine was jussst after the season 5 premiere premiere. I was two episodes in, fell behind and just didn’t care enough to catch up beyond reading blog posts about it. Yeah, I’m that guy. Read more
Oh, it’s just Carl. Whew. That guy sucks. I thought for a second that Coral died because you posted a picture of him. Read more
Alright so I can add something here. I don’t wanna sell it as the juiciest thing, but: Read more
I went to college at USC and went to more Trojan baseball games than I care to admit (graduated in 1996).

That is not what data nerds say about sustained crunch time stats in basketball. Read more
Good to see the young fella get the thwack back. Serve it up, he’ll down it. Put the cards down, he’ll filet them. Hell, mop the floor and he could walk on it. I think you follow. Read more
There’s also the convenient fact that Chris didn’t have parents to come looking for him when he went missing. If you’re picking out people who are easy to abduct, not having any close family (to put pressure on the police and organize a search) would be an important qualifier. Read more
One of the most interesting pieces of conversation come from the desires of the blind man who “purchased” Chris at auction. He starts off their conversation by sharing how much he admired his work, how he failed at being a great artist bc he lacked “the eye” and how it took him to his current path - which, if you… Read more
