    And, as a follow-up...

    ...what do you think Kyrie would do with a lifetime supply of Pepsi Max?

    Drills, baby. Drills.

    Being a Coke guy myself I really could care less what the ad was even pitching but it was brilliant in everyway.

    In the Uncle Drew video, did I hear one of the females watching make reference to his toe?

    SI Video Interview with Kyrie

    Didn't think this deserved a separate thread - a nice interview on a variety of topics.

    Agreed. But I suspect this was a grammar/usage nitpick, not a substance nitpick.

    An imprecise grammar nit.

    The phrase "I could care less", while undoubtedly less logical than "I couldn't care less," has been an easily understood sarcastic statement in the US for 50 years.

    Michael Quinion has an interesting piece about the phrase: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-ico1.htm

    However, I disagree with his conclusion, at least in a modern context:

    And because it is hard to be sarcastic in writing, it loses its force when put on paper and just ends up looking stupid. In such cases, the older form, while still rather colloquial, at least will communicate your meaning — at least to those who really could care less.
    The meaning isn't lost at all on most people, even among those who insist on the "n't", and blog/fora writing tends to be far more conversational. A phrase usually spoken doesn't lose its meaning in this medium. (That said, I would probably still cringe if I saw someone write "whole nother").

    "As long as there are nits, they will be picked."

    I think that is attributed to Steven Wright, or it should be.

    Well, of course. That's a whole nother issue.
