    If getting a needle every 6 months (or whatever) improves my chances of not getting Covid and/or improves my chance of survival if I do - I'll take the needle and not whine about it.

    There are many things I despise about the mango Mussolini, but his handling of Covid is near the top of the list.

    One game for Jok seems to be fair.
    Morris, along with 50k, lost some reputation.
    Jimmy was fun. He seems to be pretty gangsta, but from the logo:))

    Not defending Morris at all, but I wonder if these guys realize that there are security at the games with guns.

    You think security is going to start shooting people?

    I don't think the brothers are concerned with security at all.

    There are police at games, not just security. Police can arrest you, and have guns.

    I mean, the Jokers brothers are white so it's unlikely, but there's a difference between fighting someone in a ring (at least one of the brothers does that) and trying to pull shit with someone who has a gun on them and is trained to use said gun.

    In a more just world, Jokic would be suspended, as well as...
    Denver's choice on the Phoenix team - so probably Booker.

    The whole mediocre dude cheap shotting the best player on his opposing team should have been dealt with years ago. I'm guessing Suns fans would agree considering Steve Nash getting taken out in the playoffs destroyed their title hopes that year.

    1) As far as I know, Rodgers didn't come from a wealthy family with massive political influence, so that's a pretty lame comparison.

    2) Nice try. Now you're joining Kareem in the athlete-stereotyping, showing a total lack of understanding of the community college path for many.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Rodgers

    "Despite his impressive high school record, Rodgers attracted little interest from Division I programs. In a 2011 interview with E:60, he attributed the relative lack of attention in the recruiting process to his unimposing physical stature as a high school player at 5'10" (1.78 m) and 165 lb (75 kg). Rodgers had wanted to attend Florida State and play under head coach Bobby Bowden, but was rejected.[29] He was only offered an opportunity to compete for a scholarship as a walk-on from University of Illinois.[30] He declined the invitation, and considered quitting football to play baseball instead or giving up entirely on the idea of playing in professional sports and attending law school after completing his undergraduate degree.[31]

    He was then recruited to play football at Butte Community College in Oroville, a junior college about 15 miles (25 km) southeast of Chico."

    Dude, he thought Joe Rogan was a good source of information for anything.

    Going to Law School doesn't make you smart. Nothing you quoted from wikipedia really proves your point.

    It explains why he went to community college instead of straight to Cal, which disproves your point, which in turn supports my point. Keep trying to dig yourself out of that hole, though.

    Looking for a WAS, HOU, MIA, POR, DAL win
    And KD to score under 28.5

    Us beating the suns feels the most iffy even though KD has 5 half way through the first. I feel like BKNs other players will handle the load and KD will play under 30 mins.

    KD 18 at the half probably going for 30+ unless harden and griffin go big in the second half.
