Yes, it is true that a hivemind is the only possible way that a group of people could ever form a general consensus of opinion.

Putting the 50/50 in context. Yes it seems unfair that it is lower than before but player income from sponsorships has ballooned .

You are right that scrubs don't benefit and the minimum salaries should be raised .

The 50/50 is still bullshit.

The Owners are all generally having their stadiums subsidised by tax payers.

They get so many tax breaks and poo poo.

While especially in the NBA the players are what people care about.

Andy Furillo is a huge poo poo bag to Cousins almost constantly and brought up Cousins' brother getting arrested in a column that had nothing to do with Jaleel Cousins. The profanity laced tirade boiled down to "say what you want about me but not my family"

Raptors shot 54.7% tonight in a loss to the Hawks. Easy to do when you don't play defense and give up 69 points in a half and then get outrebounded by 16.

Speaking of 69 points, wtf happened to the Bulls

Having three allogeneic stem cell transplants is pretty rare. He wasn't getting the conventional chemo treatment. At times he was on a very low constant dose.
