Remember The '90s? I'm Sorry.

Dear Jon Stewart: Thanks For The Ride, Motherfucker
Good day to you, Jon Stewart. I never thought my first Dear Jon letter would explode with expletives, but ever since you, puckish fake newsman, hit what used to be called the small screen with your volcanic potty mouth and flagrant disregard for FCC regulations, you managed to disable just about eve...
Only the Lonely
Over at The New York Review of Books, check out this essay by the late Mark Strand on Edward Hopper:...
Clarence Thomas Cites Warrick Dunn's Life Story In Death-Penalty Case
On Jan. 7, 1993, Kevan Brumfield was one of two men who gunned down Baton Rouge police Cpl. Betty Smothers. The mother of six, including then 18-year-old Warrick Dunn, was working an off-duty security job, escorting a grocery store manager to make a bank deposit. Brumfield was sentenced to death two...
Marshawn Lynch Embraces Draymond Green's Mom For Talking "Real Shit"
Oakland native and Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is on the premises for today’s Warriors NBA title celebration, and somehow ended up live on CSN with Dramond Green’s mother. Lynch was so moved by Ms. Babers-Green that he risked his own mother’s disapproval and hugged the Warriors forw...
Draymond Green Burns Cavaliers, Is Enjoying Himself At Warriors Rally
“Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.” Draymond Green is in an especially, uh, blithe mood at today’s Golden State Warriors victory rally. Then he did this:...
Riley Curry Is Maybe An Emoji
So, here’s a picture of the absurdly photogenic Curry clan posing with the Larry O’Brien Trophy yesterday. Riley, possibly the best sports baby working, is still in title-winning form....

The Golden State Warriors Declare Their Love For The CoCo One Last Time
Earlier this season, the Golden State Warriors started one of the best post-victory rituals in the NBA, one that consisted of the team singing and dancing along to O.T. Genasis’s “CoCo” on the team plane. Unfortunately, because “CoCo” is about drugs, they got in a bit of trouble and had to resort to...
Leandro Barbosa Is A Happy, Drunk Champion
From Bay Area Sports Guy comes this fun clip of Warriors backup guard Leandro Barbosa holding court in the postgame locker room. Is he drunk and happy? Hell yeah he’s drunk and happy....
Draymond Green Found His Cockiness And Saved The Warriors
Draymond Green certainly didn’t deserve to win the Finals MVP award (neither did Andre Iguodala, for that matter), but it’s hard to imagine the Warriors putting this series away without his resurgence, which began in Game 4 and ended with last night’s championship-clinching triple-double....
The Golden State Warriors Are Your 2015 NBA Champions
This is the most sportswritery thing I’ll ever write, but all season long the Golden State Warriors won as a team. Sure, Stephen Curry was the MVP of the league, but he was far from a one man band. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Bogut all won league-wide awards. After two stagnant season,...
Steph Curry Stinkface Shows He Always Chooses Luigi In <i>Mario Kart</i>
Stephen Curry brought some of the swagger back during last night’s Game 5 win against the Cavaliers, at one point delivering the stinkface following a fourth-quarter contested three-pointer—a shot that responded to LeBron’s long-range bomb seconds before, and one that gave the Warriors the lead for ...
For The Undermanned Cavaliers, Fatigue Has Set In
What the hell else are the Cavaliers supposed to do? In Game 5 they conceded that the Warriors’s small ball unit was too good, and barely played Timofey Mozgov. LeBron James went off for a monster 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists (and only two turnovers). J.R. Smith finally (at least for awhil...
Who Was Andre Iguodala Trolling Last Night?
Andre Iguodala played a hell of a game last night, scoring 22 points as a key component of the Warriors’ deadly small-ball unit. He also sprinkled some not-so-subtle trolling into his performance late in the third quarter....
What Last Year's Spurs Taught The Warriors About Beating LeBron
The Warriors “unstoppable” small lineup is rightly getting credit for luring Cleveland into the faster-paced shootout Golden State always wanted to play. But who gets credit for starting Andre Iguodala for Andrew Bogut? Steve Kerr is willing to give it all to a 28-year-old he calls his “chief of sta...
Are The Warriors Just Too Deep For The Cavs? (Probably)
Even before Kyrie Irving was injured, the Cavaliers bench more closely resembled a basketball old folks home than something that could actually help a team in 2015. Kendrick Perkins? Brendan Haywood? Shawn Marion? Mike Miller? I’m not even sure who Joe Harris is....
