  1. One of the reasons I gave it up after five episodes or so. It was becoming way too ridiculous

    Ehhh. The Breaking Bad premise might be one of the more ridiculous ones ever thought of but it's still one of my favorites. Much more ridiculous than Sneaky Pete. I think a con artist is much more believable than a school teacher who infiltrates the cartel and becomes one of the biggest meth players in the Southwest.
  2. Why do the dumbest, slowest, laziest, most oblivious and easily distracted sloths gravitate to the self-checkout machines?
    Stores need to restrict those to some equivalent of TSA Precheck.  Most of those selfish morons would be too cheap to pay the fee, and the rest could be weeded out after the first time by some sort of metrics (must average less than X seconds per item scanned.)
    The worst are people with a full cart of groceries. It takes them much longer than the employees who do it for a living and that includes the line they'd have to wait in.

    Meh. They have years of data showing that no one watches Toronto even when they're good, and Kawhi isn't exactly marketable. 

    Denver missed the playoffs last year, and Milwaukee underachieved and were a horrible watch. Obviously, anyone with any basketball sense could guess that the former would improve with experience and health, and the latter just needed something resembling an actual coach. But the networks aren't in the prediction business; they're in the ratings business, so they want the sure thing

    Finish the year with 60 wins, have an impressive showing in the Finals or conference finals, and keep all of your best players, and they'll find more time for you in 2020.

    Ummm then put then matched up with these bandwagon teams people love to watch i.e. the Warriors and Lakers. Problem solved. People are going to tune in to see those teams. Why do we need to see them play each other constantly?

    And what does Denver missing the playoffs last year have anything to do with this season? That kind of logic would mean Cavs should be on national tv a lot this year because they went to 4 straight Finals. This year, Denver is a top team in the West right now. But we get to watch the same recycled matchups over and over. It's the same as the MLB in the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Cardinals on their primetime games on ESPN. It gets old.

  4. I'm hearing from Jeff 'Skin' Wade that he believes from reading the Woj/McMahon piece, he thinks this comes down to DSJ and Rick Carsisle having a personality conflict. That it has nothing to do with trying to fit this team as DSJ is all in. Which isn't surprising. Rick is not exactly a warm personality. He can wear people down. And if that is the case, that is fucking terrible. That we would get rid of a good talent because of that clash. Because trading him makes absolutely zero sense in terms of talent or fitting your scheme.

    Rick is a great coach but I have always advocated getting a new voice in here as a coach once the new era begins (i.e. when Dirk retires) and that is now.
