    Dogs can't wear pants! They have no way to pull them down when they have to go. God, now we're bringing animal cruelty into this. What's next?!

    21 pages and probably less than 1 of those pages talking about how Billups may improve our basketball team. Gotta love it.

    NBA players are not typically faithful spouses. It is known.

    I argued with a woman who was claiming covid-19 was less deadly than the flu. Only to find out later that her father died of covid-19 a couple weeks prior. But she was adamant.

    I don't know how to deal with that... I just felt bad for arguing with her.

    I don't know how I feel about the hire. Xs and Os wise, hasn't coached before, how can I judge good or bad. Leader and personality wise, there have been some VERY successful players who went on to be not so good coaches. His resume as a player should demand instant respect. On the flip side, there have been journeymen and some who barely made the league who ended up crushing it. All a crap shoot if you ask me. I've always said, Coaches get too much blame and too much credit.
    My Denver TV guys said he is great to work with. I met him at a dinner in Vegas 2 summers ago during summer league. Got introduced by our former head of security. Really cool dude if that means anything.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. The same people that are outraged are probably the same people that believe the judicial/legal system is broken and want a more progressive/rehabilitative system where actual criminals are given the ability to reform and have a 2nd chance to reintegrate to society. Yet they have come with their pitchforks and want to cancel a man that was never even charged with a crime.

    Thats not the point. People are rooted on both sides when there's a sweet spot in the middle.

    Depends on what you use it for. I share my photography with family on Instagram. We are able to stay in touch with family all over the world with facebook. And shit, my daughter might just get a college soccer scholarship because of twitter.

    The sweet spot is that we don't know what happened and we will never know what happened. End of story. It's funny. One of my favorite shows ended on a cliff hanger. The writers said that they liked to leave it up to the fans to decide how it ended. REALLY pissed me off. I'm one of those people that wants to KNOW how it ends. I imagine a lot of fans can't live with not knowing how it ended. Some people are completely fine with not knowing. There are people who loved the ending of the show. I personally hated it. So for some people, even the chance that Billups is guilty is enough for them to never want to support the guy and it will never be okay for them, short of evidence coming out that he didn't do it.

    Forget the rape thing for a moment...

    But doesn't this feel a lot like the hiring of Mo Cheeks?

    Great leader...

    Won a ring...

    Point guard...

    Defense...

    Yadda yadda yadda.
