What am asinine posting when we have an egotistical madman in Washington sending the military against protesters. Newsom is certainly a saint in comparison, and he's the one who deserves the support of sane people.

I did know that Rick wasn't very well liked on the team, but I hadn't heard this. Was this before or after he went to the ABA?

You are correct. X is under his control. Trump also had propaganda assistance from Faux and Sinclair...

Sorry, but Kershaw is one of the biggest homophobes in MLB.
Can't support him under any circumstances...

Doval clearly was struggling with control. Why wasn't he yanked earlier?

It's starting to feel like Bob Melvin is losing these games on purpose. He is clearly leaving in pitchers longer than they should be on the field...

It's a different type of anti-gay hate in Utah. In Texas, you'll get harassed. In Utah, you will be voted against and treated worse more subtly.
That's not necessarily good...

The Dems didn't lose because Harris is a woman. They lost because they didn't have momentum from primaries. And the billionaires' propaganda machine was in full force (Fox, Sinclair, X, NewsNation, etc...).

Kerr gets the same grief. Despite doing the best he can with a 6'6" center, fans seem to go thru cycles of "play Moody more", "play JK more", etc... The Warriors made the top 8 teams despite huge roster flaws. (Thibs did manage to make the top 4 teams, as well as beating the champion Celtics.)

This is also true of the SF/Oakland Bay Bridge. It's posted at 55 (or 50?) but nearly every car is going 70 or faster...

Las Vegas is losing millions of dollars each week due to a huge decline in international tourists, especially from Asia. Jobs and shifts are being lost. Nevada tax revenue is down.
Great job, TACO Don....

It's pathetic that a country that allows unlimited assault weapons thinks that it is not a "third world" country as a result.
Pro-Life! Feh!

Disappointed on the negative comments about this intelligent, articulate woman on BS. She is a true rising star, and she should be the next Senator from NY. Maybe she'll be a great President someday, too. We love you, AOC!!!

Harris ran a great national campaign. The enthusiasm was high, and it wasn't her who promised to end Russia's attack on Ukraine on "day one". She would make a great governor....

MDJ must sign a center... The question is which backup center in the NBA would be a good fit on the Warriors?

I hope your recovery has started smoothly.
I also wish you'll find some support for your insurance/financial situation. Hopefully you'll find a decent path towards resolving those costs...

Those Mormons in Utah don't seem very smart politically. Or else their bigotry against others is just so strong...

So if somewhere less than 1 person per state in this country gets to compete in a sports category, is simple bigotry a reason to deny them that choice? What threat is there to women's sports (besides funding cuts by the Republicans?)

How dare this person pitch at an athletic event! Maybe we can ship her to Ecuador! Maybe we can send her immediate family there, too! And maybe her teammates! They deserve your hatred!!!

And I'm still annoyed at the Democrats who blame Harris for her failure when 3 directions of right-wing media ran the propaganda campaign against her (X, Sinclair, Fox, others). The billionaires bought the election (and not "fair & square").

Nice to see Peter Thiel lose out on something.
Not that any self-respecting gay guy would ever have sex with him....

Ouch. My husband has a good-sized scar from the same operation. But that was many years ago, and he's fine now.
Don't fret! You'll be normal again soon!

Enjoyed "The Future..." today. Got a little lost a few times, but found it a very good sci-fi series introduction. I was surprised at how much action (and plot) you did fit into an intro story (or, these early chapters). I will definitively stick with it if you can maintain this pace...

This Trump era pushes racism, transphobia, and gay hatred as a reasonable posture. However, it's as immoral as ever, but little Adolf just really wants all of your money...

I don't like the trade speculation columns because the rate of the trade actually occurring is so low. And most of the time, the analyst is misinformed about the financial aspects, too.
So, these "proposed" trades are a distraction and are unhelpful...

There's so many players doing this. Besides worrying about our knees and ankles, now do players have to worry about neck injuries??? (James Harden comes to mind first...)

I miss the coliseum. It needed an upgrade but the owners were chasing gambling money in Vegas, where they'll have a very tiny fanbase. At least we won't have to hear about Fisher anymore (good riddance)...

Term limits can have the awful side effect of electing people with money, as no one without $$$ can get the attention to be elected.
The age barriers make more sense.
If Nancy Pelosi were 55, she'd be an awesome candidate---but she's not.

Good for you. I shifted $300-400 a month from Walmart and Target to Costco at the beginning of February...

Quinten Post is also too light, as he needs to add 25 pounds to be strong enough to defend in the NBA. His shooting touch is great, but it is also worrisome that he can't jump.... I hope he'll be a good power forward someday...

And neither are repping a purple state (California). I hope they can explain their support of corruption... Their vote should be condemned by decent people...

Obviously Biden made a huge mistake in judgment in deciding to run for reelection.
However, there seems to be a lack of recognition of the success of propaganda by certain billionaires using media control. X, Fox (fake) News, and Sinclair put us into the mess we have today.

KD going to the Warriors was a move of genius. It brought him his only titles of his career.
Don't go dumping on KD...

Green is far more effective if he's next to a legitimate center. His defense shines when he doesn't have to cover the entire lane.
Kerr is right, and Dray is still the best!

Some franchises just don't have good luck or they make bad decisions. Teams from Ohio and Michigan often struggle, but they still deserve fans. Sticking with a bad team doesn't make a fan look foolish. ...maybe even look stronger?

You may be missing the point. Let's take fencing. Is there any gender advantage? In basketball height matters, but there's tall women, too. Transpeople deserve to be treated respectfully...period. Let them participate!

You don't remember Trump threatening to physically fight Biden? The joke is real.

Fair play no longer exists. When disasters do happen in blue states, they won't get help.
Republicans are rotten to the core. Worse than they've ever been...
At this time, AOC and Bernie are our only hope?

Those radio commercials are so offensive. Yeah, someone in that situation is supposed to trust this government... Ridiculous. The reality is Trump doesn't care whether anyone gets deported. It's all about the publicity, trying to make the grifter-in-chief look good since he crapped the economy...

IMHO Podz will keep improving, Moody is not an nba-level starter, Post could add 25 pounds and be decent. Let Kuminga go (get a sign & trade?). TJD has peaked...

Get a backup rim protector in a sign&trade for JK. That would be worth a fortune for the Dubs...

Isn't it 2 more seasons of Steph, Dray, Jimmie, Buddy, and Looney? Add a true center and the team's still in good shape...
