*Knicks guard Elfrid Payton cemented the bottom spot for the NBA last night:
_
Wednesday night’s game heated up in the fourth quarter. With 48 seconds remaining in regulation and an 18-point advantage, Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder hoisted a three-point shot, which missed. Though the shot sailed off, this sort of act goes against one of the unwritten rules that NBA players share, as the game was already well in-hand.

The player who took the most exception to the three-point attempt was Knicks guard Elfrid Payton, who ran over to Crowder and shoved him into the stands.

“That shot was disrespectful,” Payton said of the altercation following the game, via ESPN. “I’m standing on that. I’d a did it again. "

Golf is not a sport. You play against yourself. Just like bowling is not a sport.
Golf is skilled recreation.
Baseball players without a doubt are just plain dumb as rocks 75% of the time.

They are both sports. But not athletes.

It appears you've taken over the "coinstartled eclectic post" position.

It's a tough job. I'm glad someone jumped in to do it. In fact we can refer to CoolStanley as CS 2.

CS2 has been nominated to fill the unfillable shoes of g.licker.

Rise to the occasion lad. BTW, cutting the grass is now a sport. Changing tires soon to follow.

I would say NFL. Playbooks are ridiculous.

In all seriousness, you find smart (and not so smart) in every position. All highly skilled jobs require intelligence. Not everyone is book smart, and it's easy to be judged as dumb.
