Does "Find A New Slant" mean something in Italian? Was she going for "Angle," but missed the translation?

Slant is pretty commonly used as a substitute for "biased opinion," innit?

I am with you but today was the first day I started feeling real doubt. At first I thought they were trying to stretch this out to see if it would blow over or they could stretch it out but then when they realized they couldn't they'd fire him. Now I'm just hoping Silver didn't want them to release big news on the day of a finals game or that they are trying to give him a way to resign and blame it all on his wife or something I don't know

Yeah I was 100% sure this morning but I'm now like 95% sure, which is still baffling

How could they even have a meeting between him and Embiid. Or even a phone call. Are they just supposed to pretend that nothing happened?

Technically weirder relationships have worked, look at what Gilbert did and Lebron "forgave" him but it took years

Fultz and Embiid probably would like to punch him in the face right now

Paul Zuvella posted:

Firing people is hard and they are likely trying to get out of his contract. There are a lot of legal things that have to be done for that to happen so it makes sense to me.

I agree somewhat but FA is nearly here and it's also probably the most important FA that Philly has had in a long time, maybe ever. It would behoove them to get this done quicker. I didn't think he'd be fired the day after the report or anything but if extending this situation by trying to recoup his contract money leads to people like LeBron taking the team less seriously it's not worth it

Paul Zuvella posted:

My big theory is that the NBA is actively pressuring them to not announce it until after the finals are over (which is dumb as hell) because they dont want the news overshadowing/interfering with the finals. This is obviously :tinfoil: but it would explain why there was a leaked press conference yesterday that never happened.

That's not all that outlandish considering Silver's previous meddling with the Sixers combined with the report that came out saying he was annoyed with the Colangelo saga overshadowing game 2. They'll only have to postpone it one more game so

yeah I agree he'll move on after the contract ends. I just like the idea of him being involved w/ the burners but being "off-limits" for the investigators while nonchalantly leaving the Vic Jr. account public and issuing threats and attempting power plays to protect his son. drat what a badass.

My brother is a big process truster and Hinkie loyalist and he really wanted the Sixers to lock up Noel instead of giving him away for nothing. In retrospect that seems unbelievable but I think there was a pretty big contingent of Sixers fans feeling that way at the time. Colangelo locked up Embiid and Covington and saved them from that Noel mistake, did a nice job adding JJ, would've gotten rid of Jah (Hinkie's mistake!!) sooner if he hadn't failed a secret physical. drat what if Colangelo was actually good, is my new contrarian take

He did some good stuff and some bad stuff (Okafor situation was ... inexpertly handled) but he was good enough to presumably have held onto a pretty prestigious current GM job had this freak show of a story not came out. However nobody seemed to have liked him anyways

How many times in the history of the NBA is a player eating a hot dog the most notable part of their season?

The answer is not enough times in my humble opinion

Hopefully the Knicks get involved in a hot dog scandal so I can start calling their future star "Franks" Ntilikina
