Crazy to think in 2015 Lebron will still only be 29. I think the Durant/Lebron battle for best player in the NBA the next four to five years is going to be one of the NBA's defining generational rivalries like Magic-Bird in the 80's or Celtics-Lakers in the 60's.

I went to UC-San Diego. From another Social Dead school (haha UCSD get it...), I feel your pain. Everyone is either an Engineer, Pre-Med, or in the hard sciences. Majors in Math and Biology.

Of course, if you make the effort you can have a lot of fun but we definitely miss out on the group experience you get with athletics or a well developed Greek System.

I totally agree. I hate hearing about him for the same reasons; third string, not much usable NFL level talent, cult of Tebow, etc. But I must say this year he's been a great professional about his position on the Jets.

No matter how terrible Sanchez is or the 1st/2nd/3rd string QB mess the Jets are in, Tebow has been very classy in how he addresses the constant questions he fields from the media on the subject.

I do hope he goes to a place and system where he will be able to have an honest chance to perform and grow. He deserves it after the media-led and media-generated cults of personality and cults of criticism that ESPN and the sports media have created.

Came from reddit through the TheoryofReddit post. Went through a few Reddit accounts (because too much of my personal information slowly got out). Hopefully I can be a little better about that here.

I love the set-up of Hubski. Very minimalist. Great content here, as many posters have said. Funny to think that in only a few years Digg would make a resurgence in terms of content quality, and that Reddit is approximating the cesspool of Digg's last few months.
