Game Day: Suns (16-36) @ Grizzlies (32-22), Wed 2/8/17

Booker was just upset that his team was getting hammered and he fouled Daniels on a 3 pt shot and Daniels talked smack about it like Booker would have done.

The only thing I read into it is that Booker doesn't like losing.

And maybe just as good, he doesn't like it when a player he perceives as below him starts chirping. You have to play with a chip on your shoulder. Just have to back it up with actions, not words.

So if Booker only scores during garbage time and Booker was scoring at the of the game with Daniels in the game, is Daniels basically admitting that he himself is garbage?

[Superbone]

If that's the case, I don't blame Booker one bit for his response to the media.

Is ringer.com some kind of fan blog website? Are one or some of you the writers on it?

Never heard of it before but I've seen a links for it posted on this forum a few times now.

Is anybody worse at naming and branding their sites than Bill Simmons? First "Grantland," named after an obscure old sportswriter. Now "The Ringer," which doesn't really sound like anything. I like Simmons, but I don't think he's doing very well at running these media empires. He's basically great at podcasts and can write a fun column if he ever gets around to it. I don't trust him for much more than that.

He's launched the careers of a ton of journalists. He's fantastic at finding interesting voices and developing them. You're right that The Ringer is a stupid name. The site design also sucks. The content is great though.

" First "Grantland," named after an obscure old sportswriter ..."

hardly obscure, if you have an understanding of sports history.

[Cap]

Or lived it. I imagine a young LL getting up in the morning, sitting down with the sports pages, and reading the latest column from Grantland Rice.

[Mori Chu]

^ My bad. I just meant that most younguns don't know what that name means, and it's odd to name an entire site after a single long-gone sportswriter who doesn't work there or have any affiliation with the site.

True, it would be like a bunch of us being interested in some goofy game invented by some a long-dead Canadian ...
