Klay says he will sacrifice like Ginobili:


"I look at a guy like Manu Ginobili who came off the bench almost his entire career," Thompson explained to ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss. "Never averaged more than 20 points a game, but he's a four-time champion, you know? He could have easily been on another team and averaged 25 a game but he sacrificed to win and that's what I expect to do next year.
"I don't care about averaging 25 or even 20. I just want to finish it out and get back to the Finals and enjoy that ride."
Thompson averaged 12.5 points as a rookie, 16.6 as a sophomore and 18.4 in Year 3.
He signed a 4-year, $69 million extension in October 2014 and responded by averaging a career-best 21.7 points, en route to his first All-Star nod. He was also named Third-Team All-NBA.
Last year, the 26-year old racked up 22.1 points per night, and was an All-Star and Third-Team All-NBA selection again.

-Gleason story: Most LS patients give up, 95% don't get this trechionomy surgery which allows a brething device ......How many would live that way?

Melania Trump speech writer takes the blame:

"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
My name is Meredith McIver and I’m an in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization. I am also a longtime friend and admirer of the Trump family.
In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant.
Yesterday, I offered my resignation to Mr. Trump and the Trump family, but they rejected it. Mr. Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes and that we learn and frow from these experiences.
I asked to put out this statement because I did not like seeing the way this was distracting from Mr. Trump’s historic campaign for president and Melania’s beautiful message and presentation.
I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused. Today, more than ever, I am honored to work for such a great family. I personally admire the way Mr. Trump has handled this situation


TWINS WANT A "LOVEABLE" GM: WTF?  (I would rather have an asshole- Harbaugh, Belichick)

Anyone interviewing for the Minnesota Twins now vacant general manager job take note. When meeting with owner Jim Pohlad, don’t be afraid to give him a big bear hug.
Minnesota’s owner wants a few things. Though, in the end, the team’s new GM must be lovable. Yes, you read that right. He wants a lovable general manager to run the front office.
“When we had the all-staff meeting, you can see how loved Terry is by our organization,” Pohlad said, via Pat Borzi, MinnPost. “If I had to pick one requirement for somebody going forward, it’s someone that’s lovable. The only way you can be loved is if you’re lovable. We want someone that can ultimately be loved. Technically they have to have the skills and strength and so forth, and have to have the willingness to look an organization and make hard decisions, or come up with ways for improvement.”
If this seems familiar to sports fans, it is very similar to what San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York said after the decision was made to “mutually part ways” with Jim Harbaugh.
In that case, York said that “winning with class is what matters.” That hasn’t exactly worked out well.
Twins fans had better hope that Pohlad is not serious.
