Is endearing klutz code for Throbbing Boner Inspiration?

Saw Devin Townsend last night. Everyone should see him at some point. What a character.

You get PJ tix?

Not yet

First Campana and now Johnny Knox. Sad, sad week for the meatbreathers.

Feel sad for Johnny Knox and the way his career ended. Terrible, terrible injury.

It may have ended his career, but given what we now know about CTE and brain injuries, it may have extended his life.

What about spine damage

Meatball General is about to be overrun with aneurism patients: Tony Campana has been DFA'd.

Unless he clears waivers of course.

Anyone watching this? It's kind of disturbing for a network show.

Garpax are conservative and overvalue their own players

How do you know this?

What have they done to suggest otherwise?

Things? You're the one who made the declaration.

I guess making no moves every year other than signing players dumped by other teams or out of the league makes him conservative. And not willing to give up any of his "core" players to trade for players who would make an impact.
Clearly everyone else thinks the Bulls front office is great and this team is in a great place to win a championship.
We'll have to see how this plays out.

I was wondering about the "overvalue their own players" line. I don't really think we can assume that unless we know for sure what past deals they've turned down. From the way it sounds, there was never a great fit for bringing superstars here. I don't think it was as much about them declaring guys untouchable and refusing to trade them.

As for them being so great, I feel like I've disagreed with plenty of their decisions in the past. It doesn't mean I think they're terrible, or great.

/proving a negative (Apex made me laugh)

I want to know when this Deng/Noah for Kevin Love and Lebron James with Jimbutler going to the Heat or whatever insane fantasy trade you guys have come up with was turned down by GarPax.

"No," GarPax said in unison. "We will not trade Deng or Noah. They are good and your players are not as good. We are perfectly content to win 50 games and try really hard and then eventually lose and sustain a lot of injuries."

Essentially what BH is saying is a) he's Fro Dog and b) WHY DONT THEY JUST MAGICALLY ACQUIRE A SUPERSTAR AND GET WAY BETTER?

This looks like Signs?

Finished this recently. It was fun but the love stories were kind of whatever. I think based on the prologue he got a ton of advice on how to make this book coherent and that's probably something he can learn for next time.

I've read that and a couple other of his books. He's pretty funny and also very dark. Great stuff.

this read like a crossword clue

while they are occasionally humorous, I think the constant use of gifs has become a blight on the internet.

This is a very strong, controversial opinion.

... because he'll rage and rage while Trestman just pats his combover...

I don't think "comb-over" does that 'do justice. It's more of a comb-back or something. With plugs.

Has a Stan Sitwell comparison been made yet on this werbsite?

Nothing has been made on this website since the Clinton administration.

I want the Cubs and Sammy to embrace and make him come out on a fucking golf cart before every game waving to people. Fungoing shit into the crowd.

Let's go.
