Detroit Sports Alcoholic

My grandma reading my writing for the first time in the @HoustonChron will forever be one of the top moments in my life. Thank you to @goni_lessan for making it happen and being patient with me.

In Texas once a man becomes a full-time coach in any sport, at any level ‘Coach’ is his title for life. Above Doctor. More like ‘Sir’ across the pond. And not just his athletes. All people.

If McCain played for any other team he'd be a lovable scrappy dog. But now he's just Hitlers corgi

Aidan Hutchinson….. in coverage!! #OnePride

@WestsideAv_ @Zach23066 @WhozMEECH Kobe had an All NBA power forward, 6th man of the year, and a young All NBA center. Best LeBron had was Mo Williams and an old Shaq who could barely get through half a season.

@Zach23066 @WhozMEECH why is it any different ?

That 2008 Celtics beat down had these boys locked in. Nothing mattered but winning the chip. And they went back to back with the same core Superstar Kobe and 2nd option Pau Gasol. No calling Wade or Melo and seeing if they wanna link up in LA. NONE OF THAT. Just a will to win, That’s all you need when you have a competent team you don’t need to stack the deck

Here’s My hot take: I want them to suck for eternity

Now winning in the conference finals matters when it’s Kobe. 😭😭😭

False

@BeLikeBRRG I understand why they didnt do it, but having Chris Paul on our bench would have done wonders

PG : FLOOR GENERAL SG : CADE SF : AUSAR PF : STRETCH BIG C : DUREN That’s literally all we need to get to the ship. I guarantee we don’t have to break the bank to do it either.

@EverythingxKing If we could guarantee health it would be absolutely perfect. But hinging the whole thing on the health of a 35 year old who is notoriously unhealthy and breaks down later in the playoffs is the kind of thing that sets franchises back.

As someone who’s generally supported the hire because of what Petzing does for the running game, I’m not trying to hear this. Dont try to convince us he’s the man for the job. Just go out and ball out. The people that dont believe wont ever be convinced. Especially with words

@peptig1 @WFAN660 Find me a single person who supported Kareem Hunt kicking somebody

@WFAN660 Amazing people calling Boomer “white elitist - which he is” are the same people defending Kareem Hunt for kicking the hell out a girl, on video- just admit it - your racism is showing!

Boomer just TORCHED Abdul Carter: “Only one man was on that call, and it was Jaxson Dart.”😳

If we using that same standard, then we only really talking bout Bron losing to Steph and KD, who had to team up to do it. When you apply the same standard for everybody alot of these arguments dont hold weight.

This is funny to me. Cause Magic, Bird, and Isiah ate on Jordan’s watch. But people dont count those. They’ll say they were already stars by the time Jordan was in the league.

One of the tragic things about Revenge of the Sith is that they cut out half of the entire reason Anakin turned to the dark side. He turns on the jedi because he wants to save Padme, but in that moment he is still doing what he believes is necessary to save his wife from certain death. What actually seals his fate and *causes him to turn away from everyone, even those he loves* is seeing Obi-wan arrive on the ship with Padme, because to him, it confirms that they are having an affair. But why? Is that really all it took to get him to doubt his wife loves him? Showing up on a ship together? No, the reason he calls her a liar and shouts "YOU'RE WITH HIM!" before nearly killing her is that there's an entire subplot of the film that was cut. In this subplot, Padme is secretly setting up the beginnings of the rebel alliance. She has figured out that Palpatine is an evil dictator and wants to remove him from office. She doesn't tell Anakin about this, aside from vaguely hinting at it when she says "have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side". Palpatine figures out what Padme is up to, but instead of directly cracking down on the rebels, he uses the fact that Padme is keeping a secret from Anakin to drive a wedge between them. Anakin knows *something* is up with her, but not exactly what. Palpatine exploits this by implying on multiple occasions that Padme is having an affair with Obi-wan. He tells Anakin that this is why he was kept off of the council. From Anakin's POV, Obi-wan is keeping him down, stealing his girl, preventing his ascent to Master (and from accessing secret info that only masters are allowed to read), and even stealing his valor by taking on General Grievous alone despite being the less powerful jedi. And the Jedi Order is enabling him to do so. So, when Obi-wan shows up on Mustafar with Padme, Anakin "realizes" that he has betrayed and killed children to protect someone who didn't even love him. He's lost everything and been played a fool. Palpatine seemed to be the only person in the universe who wasn't lying to him and trying to keep him down. Or so he thought.

@TheVizelvius @TierZoo @shinwahalfelf Yes. The novel even has a scene where Padme and Bail are talking about who to trust with the knowledge that they’re beginning the Rebel Alliance and Padme said that she knows exactly one Jedi they could trust and it broke her heart that she realized she was talking about Obi-Wan.

@TierZoo @shinwahalfelf Out of curiosity, do you know if the RotS novelisation goes into this at all? I haven't read it yet but I've heard it details Palpatine's manipulations in farrr greater detail than we ever see on-screen.

This was an excellent joke he needed like 4 laughs here

@Yuno_Mal there was a lifetime without consequences that led to this and the idea that he could shove someone's face to the mat and walk away like it was nothing

Famously John Lynch

Brett Favre committed welfare fraud

What does a fictional African country gotta do with black issues 😭😭😭
