    It is interesting. I think a lot of people will stop at the obvious, low-hanging fruit, but there is a less obvious message that speaks to 2020 about how corporate America, social media, and corporate media can generate outrage based on misinformation and propaganda and mislead and distract the masses by selling them lies that feed their emotional outrage.

    Pretty sure that's the on the nose stuff he was talking about. Hence the angry white loser listening to "Fox News" every day, stoking his resentment of immigrants taking all the jobs sending big, scary super villains to our shores, until he finally snaps.

  2. Haven't they done some variation of the "disaster at the name changing office" skit a few times recently? I mean, it's funny in a "Hehe, they said clit on network TV" kind of way, but it still feels a little lazy.

    Also, being 43 in the NFL has to matter at some point. He had shit weapons and a shit offensive line last season, but he still had happy feet at times, and wanted to get rid of the ball well before contact.

    And of course now he's summoning up all the remaining GOAT powers that he can muster.

  5. Our ranking is seriously the epitome of laziness. You know the majority of the "coaches" and media just said "Oh, 3 year returning starter at QB in the SEC...sure, Top 15 sounds about right." Nevermind that the reason he's returning is that NFL scouts would convulse in laughter if he declared for the draft, and he's the leader of the more outdated, lifeless offense in the country.

    Must be nice to be a Subway exec and know that you can do whatever the fuck you want--including knowingly poisoning people--and it will only be, at worst, the 2nd worst thing to happen to their brand. Too big to fail or some shit.

    I don't know a single person that's eaten at a Subway or Burger King more than once or twice in the past decade, but they just keep on kicking.

  7. It's definitely the refs fault that the Lakers are the best basketball team this season by a considerable margin.

    I wish that they weren't going to win this year because I wanted them to get a little dose of humility for one season after fucking over the Pelicans and manipulating the dudes paying AD $27M to play basketball at every turn (just like I did after "Not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7"), but them being the best team isn't some giant conspiracy. They're just better.

    I don't get this, do you think they were forced to have those kids, and not choose to have kids?

    Wut?

    For what point or purpose is there to have that many kids on a planet where overpopulation is a thing? blacklab's grandparents in law get a pass because that's just how things were back then, but anyone still having 6+ kids today can go fuck themselves. Especially if the reason is "because religion."

    Wife's parents both have 12 siblings. She has 263 aunts, uncles, cousins and cousin's kids. Yes, they are catholic.

     

    I won't go as far as to say that that's a war crime, but seriously fuck those people. (Hopefully your wife wants no part of that bullshit.)

    This is exactly what is going to happen.  Even though it is a relatively high risk, deadly disease....it's still a 90%+ odds of survival, even at his age and comorbidities.

    Odds are he survives it, downplays it ("it's no big deal'), and a huge swath of the country takes that as a complete and total green light.  November-December could end up being really, really bad.

     

    I mean, this really is inevitable, hopefully excluding the really, really bad winter. This is pretty ideal timing for him when it comes down to it.

    Sure. He’s a better Magic. A much more apt comparison sans titles. 

    So he's a better Magic--already a Top 5 All-Time player--with all of the passing ability and basketball IQ that that implies. And as you say, and I'm paraphrasing, he's probably the most physically and athletically gifted basketball player ever, making him extremely difficult to officiate, let alone guard. Yep, I can see how you came to your conclusion that the LeBron/MJ debate "isn't even close."

    Among the weirdest story lines of this playoffs is Rondo becoming a deadly three point shooter. If that dude had been able to shoot it like that his entire career he would have been a first ballot hall of famer. It's just mind boggling to me that you used to not have to cover him outside of about 12 feet and now he's all of a sudden shooting >40% behind the arc. All the while still only hitting 65% of his free throws. How does that happen? 

    He's been sneaky good (okay, sneaky competent) ever since he left Boston. He's made over 35% of his threes while not wearing a green uniform, and over 41% in each of his last two postseasons. Fucking Playoff Rondo.

    As you say, Boston probably wins more than one ring had he figured this out earlier. I remember the Heat teams literally putting his defender below the free throw line up play free safety.

    Arguably more impressive than Jason Kidd's shooting transformation, though on much fewer attempts.

  13. And to get a jumpstart on the inevitable debate du jour in about a week, if I wanted to make a LeBron > MJ argument, my first, second, and third points would be about availability.

    Just going to give you 29, 9 and 7 and never miss a big game, seemingly forever.

    Uh, yeah, that was kind of my point. 

    It's not the Lakers' fault. Some titles are easier than others. I'm just saying as a fan it's been kind of dull to watch - they haven't faced much adversity and avoided (or didn't have to face due to injury) 5 of the best 8 players in the league. 2 of the other 3 are on their team. 

    You can't say that they "avoided" other superstars when those superstars' teams weren't good enough to advance, or they were the supposed leader of a team full of playoff chokers. You think the Lakers would be sweating Dallas or Giannis and Middleton? No chance.

    And let's face it, the Nets or Warriors weren't winning it this year, even with full health. A team KD is on being short-handed due to his--or a key teammate's--injury (unfortunately) seems to be the case more years than not.

    I agree that's it's an easier Western Conference than most years, but it was just their year.
