Russell Westbrook And A Black Man's Respect
I recently saw the Vine of Russell Westbrook shooting eye daggers at Jeremy Lamb for not shaking his hand in what looks to be a timeout or some shit and it made me laugh a thousand laughs. Or maybe like ten. The number is unimportant as numbers are merely vessels to get to the point…

The Real Life Equivalent To How Seattle Lost The Super Bowl
You’re consistently unlucky with love. You’ve never had a girlfriend, and the last date you were on was when you went to the grocery store to buy a bag of dates, and you accidentally sat on the bag while driving back home. You are lonely. Desolate. You’re a tumbleweed on a windless day. A candle…

Rooting For New England Is Like Rooting For Gout, And More Thoughts About The Super Bowl
1. The NFL football season usually ends for me when the Steelers are done playing. Whether it’s the last game of the regular season or the first game of the playoffs, when the Steelers are out, so am I. I’ll still watch a game if it happens to be on, and, depending on the game,…

Why "Meet Me In Temecula" Is The Perfect End To This Shitty-Ass Fucking Year
1. Because “Meet Me In Temecula” is a song created by a man (@MyTweetsRealAF) who, on Christmas day, made a 35 minute drive to Temecula, California to fight someone (@SnottieDrippen) who dissed Kobe Bryant on Twitter. @Snottiedrippen didn’t show up for the fight, so naturally @MyTweetsRealAF recorded and released a diss track. 2.

Although they won’t get as much publicity as Lebron, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the professional athletes and celebrities donning “I Can’t Breathe” shirts, what the Hoyas did before Wednesday night’s game against Kansas was arguably more impressive.
