The thing I hate most about the Super Bowl is how obviously the crowd isn’t made up of actual fans but rather rich people wearing football jerseys.

the NFL: Hey Joe we need you to be an honorary captain in the Super Bowl pregame festivities.
Joe Montana: okay, but there’s no way I’m wearing a suit. Not a chance in hell you bastards.

Does Morey hate the Rockets so much that he just had to help the Thunder out? That's my only explanation for the Jared McCain trade.

The year is 2176. The AI cybernetic James Harden has requested a trade from the Mars Clippers to the Jupiter Hurricanes. It will be his 12th team in the last 7 seasons. He has still won zero MWBA* championships since his consciousness was uploaded during The Purge.

Had a dream last night that the Mets hired Albert Pujols to be their manager, which is, um, something!

Ron Artest? Suspended? Well I never
January 27, 2003: Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers has a pair of run-ins with Heat coach Pat Riley, is called for a flagrant foul after pushing Caron Butler, and makes an obscene gesture to the Miami crowd.
Artest was suspended for four games without pay.

The Rangers are weird. I can't tell if they're going to win 77 games or 93 games. Could be either! Could be both? Well, no. I guess, not both.

My favorite NBA stat right now is that Jay Huff leads the league in total blocks (93) and block pct. (9.2). He has 17 more blocks than any other player in the league and is only playing 20 minutes per game! Not bad for someone who's played for 5 teams in his first 5 NBA seasons.
