The Goat Pen

Pulitzer!

I scoffed at that on Twitter today. I can see Brooklyn dude with his bushy beard, birth control specs and Brylcreemed 'do insisting that sauce and slaw only cloud the palate and he, not the cretins in the hinterlands, is able to appreciated the nuanced pairing of a dark beer with his dry roast beef...

I'm not saying it would be easy, but Rodman would have the speed and length to bother him a bit...and the ability to hand check would allow Rodman to play up on him and not get blown by on the drive. You factor that in and the fact that teams wouldn't be able to play zone outside the paint, then I d...

I don't know if he needs to take a pay cut, honestly. The problem is more about the contracts that Shump and JR have. It hurts to pay dudes that get real minutes, but not much (consistent) production.

Yeah, this year's Warriors.

Now, if the game was called like it was 20 years ago, GSW would still not beat the Bulls. Rodman would have KD in a box.

Russ not going to Ohio. LeBron could win again but they play too much ISO ball and it stalls their offense when LeBron is on the bench. GSW plays beautiful basketball.

Heh. You're the guy who asked what would it take for Black people to vote GOP in larger numbers, and when AA answered with real numbers from real elections and real actions by a real GOP politician, you replied that you didn't believe that would work. So, yeah, I definitely don't think you'd listen ...

Shrug. I would never expect you guys to acknowledge or believe there was a struggle being Black at an Ivy. I also wonder why this is news on here. Predominantly White Institutions have always had some form of segregation by its Black students. BSUs, fraternities and sororities and men's basketball t...

So. Much. Awesomeness.

I love the selective whiny Dem blame-a-thons. Snowflake seems like a relative term. It's all the fault of Carter, Clinton and Obama...if my math is right on names named.

I see Macron winning because having a run-off allows the establishment to coalesce against Le Pen and the view of Donald Trump's Presidency, to this point, by the French has hurt the cause of the National Front. Le Pen does have going for her the fact that Macron appears to be a little too happy in ...

I had heard about the Fyre Festival controversy/trolling, but I didn't know that JaRule actually collected anything from it.

Jenner did put the conversation about gender identity to the forefront. Just like if Michael Sam had made the League, he probably would have gotten an ESPY, too. ESPN is focused on the intersection of sports and culture in their programming. Jenner absolutely went out on a limb with her speaking out...

Looks as if Ball's dad cost him millions already..... http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/19264024/nike-armour-adidas-not-interested-deal-lonzo-ball?sf74427492=1 I am no Lavar Ball fan. I need that said up front. I think he unnecessarily puts pressure on his kids in a field where...

Haven't heard from him since the election. He must be in rehab or residential therapy.

John is good. He's still moving and shaking in Los Angeles. His daughter is not a journo.

Then I hear Mexico has agreed to renegotiate NAFTA as Trump was about to exit it via an EO. Probably got some leverage for building the wall out of it as well. I have a feeling Mexico is going to end up doing alot of shit they swore they'd never do in October. Maybe Mexico is dumb enough to believe...

If any Republican votes for one set of health care rules for congress, and another for the rest of the country, they will be digging their own political grave. They should be primary'd and their opponent could win on that issue alone. It's precisely that kind of hypocritical insider crookedness tha...

Convenient to throw in a political excuse for the ESPN fall whIle stating IN THE SAME POST (I won't elevate it to the status of article) that the real reason for the layoffs is the antiquated business model. ESPN has a controversial 6pm show, a few segments on sexuality in sports and BLM talk and &q...

Lots of stuff posted here in the last few days that's right in my wheelhouse. I don't feel like going back through it all...but, if my memory serves me correctly, the NJ pension issue was particularly fucked up because state workers paid into the pension from their paychecks, but the state governmen...
