The combination of poorly paid athletes and sports betting has never led to bad results

It's easy to know that betting on sports is intrinsically bad, because it's what Darren rovell has now devoted his life to. Sports betting is like the capitalism of hobbies.

Looks like Vice Sports finally got killed off in the most recent round of layoffs. They were already pretty diminished from their peak but I'll miss Michael Pina in particular, he's one of the best regular NBA columnists not working for one of the major outlets

You don't do it through the normal avatar purchase process. Back In My Day there was like a thread where you could ask for the image to be uploaded and then once it was you did it through the mod panel on one of your posts in the forum you mod and it gets added to the queue like a probation. You can change or fix avatars for other people the same way. It's been a long time though and I might be explaining it wrong. I'm sure you can ask in the Secret Mod Forum. There used to be a FAQ I think? Or maybe they don't do that anymore it's been like five years! This probably should have been a PM but I already typed it so too bad everyone here for Sports Journalism Takes

He does not outright say this but it's also pretty heavily implied that he was poo poo faced when it happened. Anyway I'm guessing this will not stop half this thread/the internet at large from assuming that he secretly drunk drove his car into a school bus full of children or whatever
