Re: Random Politics
Anyway... it's gross. He needs to resign. How much hubris does this guy have that he didn't immediately resign and try to disappear off the face of the earth when these allegations and evidence came to light? he called it a "witch hunt" three times in his prebuttal statement before the ho...

Re: The Indictment Thread (Trump Admin Meltdown Thread Part II)
Weird question...but is it odd to only have three clients? Or is that normal when you have high profile guys? Or are these three the ones who were "material" to the current investigation, so no one else in his client base was affected? maybe he is so busy fixing things for Trump it is a f...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2018
He's Dwight Howard. That’s a pretty bad comp. The main issues with Howard are that he’s rubbed a lot of teammates the wrong way and that his effort has been inconsistent in the latter part of his career. I don’t think you anyone could say either of those things about Embiid. By all accounts, his te...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2018
There’s at least one silver lining from last night, and it’s that for the first time in a few years I can say “man, fuck Dwyane Wade with a crowbar. Fuck him and his first name.” Hopefully Wade’s game last night ends up just being a historical footnote by the end of the series like the 2011 Brandon...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2018
Turns out being a 76ers fan is fun. The Belinelli and Ilyasova signings were really great mid-season pickups (made possible by the Hawks' own Process-inspired teardown). Simmons is like LeBron in that his driving and passing is so good that if you surround him with enough shooters the offense can b...

For the record, I gave them shit for The Process too. It was deplorable, and I am repulsed that they did it. I’m not convinced that this was the best route to get to where they are. But if we can be happy for Astros fans, then maybe I’ll soften my stance. It was absolutely the best way to get where...
