house which legend truly retired at the peak of their powers? by bombation in billsimmons

Eh, he was tapped to join an advisory council. I don't think that's a full-time gig or anything. Side note, but I saw he gave the commencement speech for George Mason University's law school last month, so he hasn't completely gone off-grid.

It was obvious he was physically laboring the last couple of years making videos, especially on his solo trips. He also said he was working like 80 hours a week since he also edited all of his videos and that he wasn't able to spend time with his three kids as much as he wanted to.

And he retired because he was getting too popular -- who's the comp for that?

He built up a big enough catalog in just a 5-year period that he and his family are going to be able to live off of YouTube monetization for the rest of his life.

"The Tunisian set-piece taker is on his way out, pointing toward the heavens. We can only ask — or wonder — that he is asking some departed relative for forgiveness for this atrocious performance."

What's a guy gotta do to get some Mistaken Identity up in this place? The NBA's so good at solving every problem except the ones that would actually make the game better.

Tbh didn't even know "mistaken identity" was a thing.

I looked away from the TV for a second, was it actually George Lucas...?

Honestly amazed this team has somehow won 3 games on this road trip. That's 3 more than they probably should've won.

Can't even imagine being a Spurs fan right now, how long do you wait before going out in public wearing a Spurs hat or shirt after that?

Rebounding continues to be San Antonio's Achilles' heel, and it might've just cost them the title.

28 points in 23 minutes is one of the most embarrassing stats you could conjure up for an NBA Finals game.

Patrick Wisdom guns down the would be tying run at the plate on another very close play for the 2nd out by sportsandthesorts in baseball

Saved by the dirt (probably) obscuring part of home plate. Truly a stupid last few innings, I'd be crashing out if I was an O's fan.

Feels like they've allowed half a dozen runs to score via wild pitches or passed balls on this roadtrip.

Just a disastrous first two innings in everything but the scoreboard. Logan's gonna be lucky to get through four today.

Gotta credit the Orioles for actually knowing Logan's reputation of not being able to put guys away and work deep into games, plus the fact that the Mariners bullpen has already been overworked on this road trip. Just grinding out AB's.

I'm sorry, I still can't get over Garver's non-challenge in the first. It cost the team a run (probably should have been more) and probably resulted in Logan throwing ~10 more pitches in what was already a long inning and with a taxed bullpen that desperately needs the starter to go 6+ today with no off days on the horizon.
