I was too young for Benson but Robert Guilliaume played Isaac Jaffe on my favorite television show, Sports Night. RIP.

Warriors are playing like trash right now. Their defense stinks. They're still in pre-season form. The China trip really messed them up -- only able to hold two practices in ten days. Fully expect Memphis to be blown out by 30 the next time they play each other.

Man. Jeremy Lin is now also out for the season with a torn patellar tendon. Not a very auspicious start in the Eastern Conference.

And Nikola Mirotic had his face broken after it made contact with the misplaced fist of Bobby Portis. Such spirit from a projected last place Bulls team.

That's really good.

I had a similar reaction but with different choices. 1. RPG 2. Strategy 3. Sports 11. Everything else But since I had to number them all separately it's not a representative picture of my particular preferences. Ditto.

Poor PG13 Looks like you called it. Wade's likely taking his talents to South Lake Erie.

My third favorite baseball writer wrote about Star Trek: Discovery. https://www.theringer.com/tv/2017/9/25/16360856/star-trek-discovery-review-cbs-alex-kurtzman-sonequa-martin-green I agree; it's really good. Better than Voyager and Enteprise. More serialized and action-packed than previous Treks --and not so idealistic. Different.

You drafted Johnson too? Captain of my soon to be 0-3 squad as well.

To be clear, they're not protesting the national anthem, or the flag, or the military. They are protesting the current state of racial inequality in America, and to a large extent the President and his rhetoric.

At this point, I think the anthem protests have morphed into a symbolic catch-all for racial inequality in the Trump-era; and now a protest against Trump and those he is empowering with his actions/non-actions.

Bruce Maxwell becomes first in MLB to take a knee. Mark Canha in support with hand on shoulder. *edit. Below is the club's statement of support.

That's a bad take. For one thing, most Americans care far more about sports than healthcare. If anything, we react more from out of apathy when they take away our entertainment. So it's a bad take because everyone PREFERS looking at the wrong thing? It was a joke. But then again, everything is a distraction for this President. He makes abhorrent statements every day that yes -- maybe it's hard for the ONE BIG THING to stick. But then what is the big thing? Everything is big. He's the President. His statements carry weight. Wanna talk about healthcare? Cool, McCain defected from party line -- presumably joined by Murkowski, Collins, and perhaps Rand Paul. Right now, social/racial inequality and its convergence in sports is the current big thing. If anything, this may have a bigger impact on national discussion and political discourse than any topic that most Americans will talk about in breakrooms, barbecues, and church.

Stick to sports.

That's a bad take. For one thing, most Americans care far more about sports than healthcare. If anything, we react more from out of apathy when they take away our entertainment.

So does that mean Jordan Peele is also writing for Deadfire?

I sense the answer's right here... Or perhaps a simple business reason like they made the best offer. Yeah, but can they pay off gaming sites to make onsite visits and write nostalgic fluff pieces on their old catalogue?

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20793120/new-york-knicks-agree-trade-carmelo-anthony-oklahoma-city-thunder Carmelo to OKC for Enes Kanter, Dougie McBuckets, and a 2018 2nd Rounder. It's only been four days since Kanter said OKC was family. Of course, OKC will still be the fourth seed in the West with their three ISO heavy stars. Even money they'll be last in the league in passes per game. Cranky LeBron can't will 54 regular season lame duck wins with IT out till January.

Media started yesterday and Training Camp begins today. Annual predictions with Vegas over/unders. Western Conference 1. Golden State 67.5 Over 2. Houston 55.5 Under 3. San Antonio 54.5 Under 4. OKC 51.5 Over 5. Minnesota 48.5 Under 6. Denver 45.5 Over 7. Utah 40.5 Over 8. LAC 43.5 Over 9. Portland 42.5 Over 10. New Orleans 39.5 Over 11. Memphis 37.5 Under 12. Dallas 35.5 Under 13. LAL 33.5 Over 14. Sacramento 28.5 Over 15. Phoenix 28.5 Under It'll be a tight dogfight for the 6 through 8 seeds between Denver, Utah, LAC, Portland, and New Orleans. Meanwhile, Golden State goes 74-8 on their way to their 4th straight Western Conference trophy EC 1. Boston 56.5 Over 2. Cleveland 53.5 Under 3. Milwaukee 47.5 Over 4. Washington 47.5 Under 5. Miami 43.5 Over 6. Philadelphia 42.5 Over 7. Toronto 48.5 Under 8. Charlotte 42.5 Under 9. Detroit 38.5 Over 10. New York 30.5 Over 11. Orlando 33.5 Under 12. Brooklyn 28.5 Over 13. Indiana 31.5 Under 14. Atlanta 25.5 Under 15. Chicago 21.5 Over The Process finally starts to show good dividendsin Phila. LeBron's Finals streak ends before he takes his talent to Hollywood (not literally). Boston beats Milwaukee to take the East only to be swept by Golden State as the Warriors go 16-0 in the playoffs.

Still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that Serafen is a witch.
