After what happened last year I can understand why the Mavericks were nervous, but at midnight EST the papers were signed with Harrison handcuffed to the president of operations. Got to love those guys for their sense of humorView attachment 134652

I can make it now, and you can make it "sticky" later.

The Warriors were punished for trading away David Lee, when they could have kept him last year. They then had to play Ezeli, and lost game 7 of the Finals because of it.

Hopefully they'll be similarly punished for trading away Andrew Bogut.

They've traded away the two likable guys on their roster, even though their organization is annoying, their style of play (even when they were losing) is annoying, and their fans are annoying (they booed Joe Lacob and ruined Mullin's retirement ceremony).

Maybe David Lee can resign with the Mavs, and Bogut + Lee can knock the Warriors out of the 1st round of the playoffs.

The Warriors will no longer be punished for their size, since they now have Zaza Pachulia.

Big Papi's daughter Alex designs his final retirement shirt.


This is cool, because his daughter designed it.



Money from the shirt sales goes to charity. That's another reason why it's cool, and not gratuitous.



He'll also have special shoes for each of his final series, also honoring that opponent's city.

Sources: Rangers prospects questioned for allegedly sexually hazing underage teammate

I think it doesn't matter if the victim was laughing. Since he was underage, while his perpetrators were of legal age, it's statutory r*pe and sexual assault.

I don't think this is a boys' thing either. Somewhere, girls have done this to each other too for hazing. In those cases though, I'm less certain that the victim was laughing.


I think when girls do this to each other, they make it even more personal. Like have the victim's close friend or sister pin her down, and point out the state of her genitalia.

In the end though, how people haze each other the the depths they will go to, isn't tied to a specific gender, but rather a character trait.
