    - That's not how X-Men work. -- nm - Max Jul 3, 13:20 1

COLENG: Approximately 86 yellow cards have been issued during this game -- (edited) - prayformojo Jul 3, 12:32 2

- I think that’s more than copies of Yellowcard’s albums that have sold. -- nm - Qale Jul 3, 12:33
World Cup spoilers. England-Columbia. - Volnelk Jul 3, 12:31

The NBA's nature also creates the problems. Mike Trout couldn't upgrade the Orioles the way LeBron upgrades the Lakers. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:39 13
- A single person can have much more impact on a basketball game than a hitter in baseball. One guy can't carry an MLB team. - Krusty Jul 3, 12:10 1
  - In a way, it's kind of like the difference between turn-based games and RTS ... Civilization vs Starcraft. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 12:12
- The only thing that could have an NBA impact in MLB is Bryce Harper to the Braves. - crash davis Jul 3, 11:42 10
  - Crash, I will rip your eyes out and shove them into your ear drums. -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:44 9
    - Heh, but Harper to the Braves would not bring me as many laughs as spoiler - crash davis Jul 3, 11:57 2
      - Nobody's going to know what to root for when the teams play this season. - David Jul 3, 12:02 1
        
        It's Deion Sanders redux. - IrishStephen Jul 3, 13:33
    - So he'll still be able to see the solid contact of Bryce Harper home runs in Atlanta? - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 11:50 2
      - I'd make your life a living hell for that, but it sounds like your HR department beat me to it. -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:56 1
        
        I love it. My competence at all facets of my job continues to look better in comparison! -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 12:31
    - That escalated quickly. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 3, 11:49
    - L3. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 3, 11:47

- the third one -- nm - prayformojo Jul 3, 11:49
- option #1 seemed the least likely to me -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:41 2
  - I could buy any of the three. I think #2 is right no matter what. -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:54 1
    - He definitely did not like what was going on in the moment as well. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:55

    - [deleted] 2
      - So awful. Never could I imagine that they were actually this awful. -- nm - Jovian Jul 3, 12:47
      - They should be running a voodoo business in a swamp somewhere. Trading favours for pieces of souls .... oh shit. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 11:34

I feel like Enes Kanter says it best. -- (link) - David Jul 3, 11:00 36
- Lakers/Celtics Finals!!! amirite!?!? - Shaun Jul 3, 11:08 7
  - Amusingly, Cousins also considered Boston. The season ended less than three weeks ago, and a Dream Team player... - David Jul 3, 11:09 6
    - Don't count out the Raptors. -- nm - Shaun Jul 3, 11:10 5
      - In the regular season, I won't! - David Jul 3, 11:13 4
        
        I think they figure, "fuck it, Lebron is gone we can make the East Finals with what we got and maybe the Celts all get hurt again as does Embiid" -- nm - Beaker Jul 3, 11:14 3
        
        Yeah, I have a hard time taking Philly seriously. But Boston is head and shoulders above. Toronto needs to do something. -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:17 2
        
        Yeah -- Boston should own the East for at least 2-3 years - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 11:30
        
        Tavares! -- nm - Shaun Jul 3, 11:19
- Someone on Twitter this morning recommended - Strongbad Jul 3, 11:04
- The Warriors Are Making A Mockery Of The NBA Salary Cap (from 538) -- (link) - crash davis Jul 3, 11:02 20
  - people were similarly flipping out when David convinced me to joined BOP -- nm - prayformojo Jul 3, 11:25 2
    - seemed more like RGIII joining the Browns to me, but I was just a casual observer -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:28
    - Most of them BOPers! -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:26
  - I can't make sense of this article. It sounds like cops complaining that people are driving within the speed limit. - Max Jul 3, 11:14 16
    - The NBA salary cap for next year is ~$102 million. Golden State was at $135 million just for their starters before signing Cousins. - David Jul 3, 11:23 4
      - aha, okay, now that's crap. And so is the article because it doesn't explain this. -- nm - Max Jul 3, 11:24 3
        
        "The Warriors were able to sign Cousins as a free agent despite being tens of millions of dollars over the cap thanks to one of the NBA’s many..." -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:27 2
        
        Still, the article makes me think Cousins is at fault. If they could have signed anybody while in overcap, his value isn't the issue. - Max Jul 3, 11:32 1
        
        to me, its like The Emperor's New Clothes...the Warriors are the kid who pointed the truth out and ruined it all - that is a crude analogy, but still -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:33
    - Strongbad's Opinion - Strongbad Jul 3, 11:21 5
      - Meh -- I don't think you should ever punish a team for drafting well. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 11:31 3
        
        Either follow the NFL/MLB model, or don't have one at all. - Strongbad Jul 3, 11:34 2
        
        NFL cap is completely broken. MLB is completely broken. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 11:43
        
        NFL is competitive for half of the league anyway. -- nm - Shaun Jul 3, 11:39
      - crash's opinion: Give Seattle an expansion team, and I don't care all that much about what happens after that. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:23
    - There is a thing that is called a mid-level player exception. The problem is no one really thinks Cousins is a mid level player. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:19 4
      - and? Will that give him more cash? Or is this about forcing all the banks to take a loan to cover the bad ones? - Max Jul 3, 11:23 3
        
        They are saying that he should have signed with one of 29 other teams because he isn't a mid-level player. The Warriors are already way over the cap -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:25 2
        
        But many teams didn't want to pay him (for various reasons) so he took a 1yr shot to win a ring while he got healthy - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 3, 11:33 1
        
        I don't blame Cousins one bit. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:34
- Don’t Hate the Warriors, Hate the System That Allowed Them to Happen -- (link) - Beaker Jul 3, 11:02 1
  - Thank you for stating the obvious, Ringer writer! -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:06
- For someone who doesn't follow NBA news, is this about contract values or something else? -- nm - Max Jul 3, 11:01 3
  - Golden State, who has won three of the last four years, just lost a player who averaged 4.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks last year. - David Jul 3, 11:05
  - It's about all the best superstar players joining up on 2 or 3 teams to beat the crap out of everyone else. -- nm - Diva Jul 3, 11:03 1
    - and a couple other guys mid-tier guys willing to play for the minimum to win a title. -- nm - Tim Jul 3, 11:05
the 30 minutes of Thanos story that was cut will not be on the Avengers DVD... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 3, 10:47 3

- that's a great idea. after I win Megamillions tonight I'm gonna find a cute 30 year old woman to marry -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 13:02
- at this rate, he'll be 90 and she'll be 45. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 3, 11:24 1
  - That's how great life is for old white guys! Their trophy wives stop having birthdays! -- nm - David Jul 3, 11:25
- There is no age limit on McPheever. -- nm - Tim Jul 3, 11:02
- she has a history of digging on older men. -- nm - Diva Jul 3, 10:45 1
  - maybe he'll produce an album for her -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 10:53

  - What are you looking for in your mansion? -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 10:44 1
    - I'll give you $500,000 for a 75% stake. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 10:45

- Feelings mutual pal -- nm - Arugula Jul 3, 10:27 1
  - *in salads*. You don't win friends with salad. - Beryllium Jul 3, 10:40
- I don't mind it. There are far worse greens out there that make their way into salads -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 10:25 1
  - DIE KALE DIE!!! - Cuzzin Todd Jul 3, 12:33
- It's akin to cilantro for me in ruining stuff. -- nm - Reagen Jul 3, 10:24 7
  - Are you one of those people that have that thing where cilantro has a soap taste? -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 10:26 6
    - I'm in that group as well. Not delicious. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 3, 10:40

      - I'm sorry. My wife has that genetic problem as well. I got the genes where cilantro is awesome. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 10:28 3
        
        I'm halfway in between. I got the genes where I like making fun of cilantro, but I don't totally hate the taste. - Beryllium Jul 3, 10:39 2
        
        There's always Thrills gum - Reagen Jul 3, 10:51 1
