    Ask is not a noun, no matter that somebody on TV decided that it is

    Not a person, but I'm tired of the Madness song "Our House" being used in television spots. A regional grocery chain and an insurance company are both currently using it.

    670-The Score in Chicago also uses the tune during a normal spring training when it sends its hosts to Arizona and they all shack up together. It's called "Score House." That doesn't bother me.

    Sure hope Madness is getting its royalties.

    I’m sure they are one step beyond.

    Fans, journalists and “journalists” who are weirdly obsessed with shitting on LeBron James.

    Just because he’s an all time great doesn’t mean I have to withhold all criticism.

    Criticism =/= shitting on. You know the type I’m talking about, usually way wrapped up in Jordan nostalgia like it is fundamentalist dogma.

    With all due respect, your criticisms of him are mostly just shitting on him.

    I don't get the reactions to LeBron. He's absolutely in the running for greatest player of all time and his longevity is unprecedented. People should just be enjoying this. It doesn't come around very often.

    Instead people look desperately for things to bitch about. It's just weird. And a lot of it is some crazy need to elevate Jordan to some mythical status, like dudes fear their childhoods are under siege if they have to acknowledge the greatness of another player.

    Careful. Say that loud enough, and he'll run for president. For real this time.

    That’s simply not accurate with respect to me. You’re speculating in my unstated intentions.

    So he doesn’t fake getting hit?

    He didn’t walk off court before end of series? ( I did see he gave Booker a signed jersey but kids watching him walk off get wrong message)

    No, he doesn't fake getting hit. People were making that argument when he got slammed in the eye and couldn't even fully open it after the game.

    No, he didn't walk off the court before the end of the series. You complained that he didn't hang out on the court very long after the game was over. That's a ridiculous thing to complain about. And he's not "sending a wrong message to the children", man. C'mon.

    Enjoy what you're watching. We've never seen a player like this.

    Or the Trumpists who like to rip on him because he dared make comments on current events/said something on Twitter.
