I mean, this is dumb. It's got literally nothing to do with curries. It's like if a record store did the same thing.
You want a joke over Twitter for the fact that nobody gave the Cavs a chance and now they're up 2-1? An ACTUAL joke? Fine.
"I haven't seen a finals series this cross-eyed since Stu Scott was calling them." There. You're welcome.

Let's start small:Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:I honestly don't understand the tweet or why RICK hasn't killed himself because of how awful the joke was. Is.
You understand there was a "deli" in Cleveland that temporarily changed the spelling of their name to "delly" (in support of their own player) and said they would serve no "Curry" (in reference to a player on the opposing team)?
Let me back up.
Do you know that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are currently playing each other in the NBA Finals?
I don't have to say anything. I'm a doctor, too.

Real simple, real short:
Howard Cosell, in his autobiography, said most sports writers are terrible at covering sports news because they don't treat it as news, they're often not educated or truly knowledgeable in the subject, and they're too often fanboys who are too partisan.
You won't get good coverage of any story, about, say, some issue with the government, if all the reporters are unquestioningly following its press releases. We do get reasonably good reporting of sports scandals, because non-sports reporters to the digging for facts. Most everything else in sports, the journalistic talent is sorely lacking.
