I'm not getting any of these In Bruges jokes because I watched it like 7 years ago and I couldn't think of anything to say about it except "it passed the time" and I haven't seen it since. It was just like, a movie. Nothin' great. It starred Monk McGinn from Gangs of New York and The English Patient from The English Patient. I bet you nerds watched it because it had Mad Eye Moody and Voldemort from the Harvey Potter flicks.

Did you guys think Sexy Beast was a great movie too or something

Anthony Bennett is one of the worst NBA players I have ever seen. I watched him live in a Pan-Am game against Mexico and he looked like he was controlled by a 6 year old who picked up a PS4 controller and wasn't sure if it was a hammer or something edible .

I like that he gets a new team each year (but only one). There can't be many who've started a career like this:

code:

Season	Age	Tm
2013-14	20	CLE
2014-15	21	MIN
2015-16	22	TOR
2016-17	23	BRK

He might be the first player to accomplish that. Also, 15 million USD for .5 WS is a good haul.

In Bruges is a great, criminally underrated movie, and I like Sexy Beast as well.

:clint:

Edit: somebody else mentioned Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and that's great, too. There's a lot of good movies that exist.

drat I knew BK Knights was having a rough year but I didn't know just how bad

e; Celts can tie the raptors in the standings tonight if they beat them. They won't because Avery Bradley is out and DeRozan and Lowry are going to go nuts but I'm glad they've recovered from their lovely start

I think the posters of the thread could do better but we're not doing it except for each other. And does the pay ever justify the effort for writing that stuff out long form and not just loving around? Probably not, the stats stuff can get you a job but the fun stuff at best gets you a round the clock barely living wage job for a higher class site

FanSided recently ran a column about crazy trade ideas where they suggested the Warriors trade Steph Curry for Rajon Rondo. They had to delete it and apologize because they got poo poo on so hard for it.

Some local twitter drama about this, actually. Mason Ginsberg had the account for a full year when yesterday it had randomly become suspended and then given to the Pels PR team or whomever. He had received no contact from the team or anyone about this before hand and is mildly upset about it.

The thread of him noticing and complaining:
