Funny that he saw the replay, acknowledged that it wasn’t Will’s fault publicly and privately, apologized to Will, and there are still countless Kerr haters crying about it. People need to get a fucking life.

Klay was doing this at Ja’s age in the league en route to a championship? He led the entire league in playoff scoring in 15-16’. Just talking to talk. teapawt.net/simplyballup/status/19…

In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

I know that Thursday was a day we will never forget. Today is not much easier. A’s fans, you have raised me from a boy to a man to a husband & now a proud father. You have been my heartbeat in the most trying of times. I hope I’ve represented you with as much love & respect as you’ve shown my family & I. The history before me made me proud to WEAR the Green & Gold. You, the fans, have made me proud to bleed it…

“It’s shameful because the people that are running it are shameless! They are experiencing no embarrassment in any facet…seemingly intentional, insidious in fact!” -Dodgers Broadcast
Boy they might as well just said “FUCK YOU JOHN FISHER!”
Dodgers Broadcast absolutely dragged these bozos and this ridiculous move!

These words from Stephen Curry are as ironic as they are poignant. For someone who grew up in Oakland watching the A’s, they sting a bit more with each listen.
In October 2012, I chatted with a 24-yr-old Steph Curry while he stood in a hot dog line before an Oakland #Athletics playoff game. He expressed hope that one day the atmosphere in the arena where he played could match the excitement of an A's playoff game at the Coliseum.

All the PAC12 mascots are in the corner cheering on ever play… and it’s just really sinking in, this is over. The PAC12 is over after this.
I’m glad they’re all here.

I can’t believe that I have to explain this…

Kerr takes out Moody??? He's on fire. He's 4-for-4 and 2-for-2 on baskets that didn't count

Chris Paul's decision making down the stretch wasn't ideal. Got caught in the air on one drive. Passed up a layup on another. Then passed on the open midrange jumper late.
GSW needed an experienced closer. CP was the only real option considering the circumstance

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
