All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.

This is great because #1 was Kyrie Irving, #2 was Kawhi, and #3 was Jan Vesely. It's impressive that Jan was put behind those two.

The rest of the list is ok though.

He could foresee that a team like the Wizards would take Vesely but could not foresee that the Spurs would take Kawhi.

Feds aren't going to do street shakedowns, they are going to target dispensaries and other major legal distributors. DEA agents aren't going to be arresting for individual possession.

I know a guy who was head of Bleacher Report early on, and we talked about this a lot. I was sceptical about how it could work. He told me that the point was maximum amount of content produced at a minimum cost. They weren't trying to compete with the professional writers, at least not at first. They were just trying to give people more stuff to read (and click on).

Obviously he understood the new media business and I didn't. He's rich as gently caress now, and I'm not.

Hrmmm... I wish I had a large group of people that would love going to a Pelican game as much as I do. My ticket rep sent an email and I can get a suite, 24 tickets, and 3 parking passes for $900 to one of a set of 13 games this season. I've never been in a suite before. Maybe if I try to do it as part of a birthday party for myself I can get enough people to split the burden in lieu of traditional gifts...

Ea completely eats 2k's lunch when it comes to presentation and UI. Pretty much everything but gameplay and visuals.
