When you watch the crap going on in #Texas, don’t forget that the reason Texas joined the US in 1845 was that they were worried Mexico might take over and end slavery. Texas literally became a state to ensure its citizens’ right to own other people. Fuck those guys.

My argument is more about the assertion that the P*ckers “have been winning since the 70s”. After Lombardi left in 1968, they wandered the wilderness for decades before they became relevant again.

Maybe the most impressive thing about Shaq’s career was that he only won the one MVP. If he had been as driven as.. to pick a player at random, Kobe… he could have won three or four, easily. But his aversion to off-season maintenance showed itself during his decline from 2003 on.
