lmaoquote:There’s no replacing the Sun. Without its light, plant life wouldn’t grow, and we wouldn’t have oxygen to breathe or crops to eat. Without its heat, the oceans and land masses would freeze, reducing Earth to “a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock,” just like all the others. Without its gravitational pull to hold the planets in orbit, we’d hurtle without connection or purpose through the incalculable, implacable expanse of space. (Well, more than we already do, anyway.) Nothing can make up for the loss of the spark of radiance that’s supposed to be at the center of it all. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2021/12/14/22834443/zion-williamson-foot-injury-setback-new-orleans-pelicans-trade

That sort of 6th grade book report lede seems to be the Ringer house style and it drives me nuts, it blows my mind that there can be editors that are allowing and even encouraging that poo poo.

i haven't listened to much bill simmons over the past several years, but i put on one of his NFL podcasts with "cousin sal" for background noise while doing some busywork and he was complaining that a kirk cousins implosion that lost him some idiotically complicated bet made him so angry that he went to his cryochamber spa where he has a membership, lmao. Unironically wish this dude was still writing his dumbass columns.

the tragedy about skip bayless is that he could easily have his money and his cushy gig and just be doing schtick like every other professional sports windbag but i think that he genuinely believes in his Take Lifestyle and actually thinks what he does is important which is incredibly pitiful.

morestuff posted:22 Goals is such a missed opportunity, I’d kill for the same research to go into a series of articles instead of having Brian Phillips awkwardly overenunciate a monologue over typical annoying Ringer production The ringer publishes them as articles. I've read all of them, but have no desire to listen to it as a podcast.

apparently bill simmons has been filming himself walking through his fancy neighborhood yelling sports takes into his phone camera and imagining someone seeing him power walking while holding a selfie stick and yelling about the patriots is unbearably funny to me. https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/bill-simmons-super-cheap-patriots.html
