I always thought it was purple justice, not grape.

This is clearly a stadium cat. Please make the appropriate edit.

They can def all exist, its just a matter of budgeting. Sure, maybe some schools might stop certain teams or clubs, but what is most likely is that non-revenue generating athletic department and coaching staff would take pay cuts as their salaries are supremely bloated anyways. Nick Saban and Calipari are only worth…

Does any one know who leaked the letter to the Post?

Lawyers are not supposed to be heroes, or necessarily objectively “good” people. They are agents for their clients in legal proceedings. Civil cases are rough type of justice where, most of the time, money damages are used as an imperfect method to redress harm. I am not telling you to change your opinion, but her job…

I agree, its really not that crazy. The train from philly to NYC is 1 hour 15 mins. The MTA from my apt in BK to my office is 45 min plus whatever additional amount of time due to the constant breakdowns and delays. Also, while I do not have an opinion on the matter, I have heard some people call Philly a festering…

If he was terminated and received severance, there may have also been a non-disparagement agreement that they were trying to get around by not naming him.

Its the later and its completely right, unfortunately. For different people, different issues hold differing levels of significance. Environment might be the most important voter issue to you, whereas education to someone else. For these conspiracy theorists, their conspiracy mythology is the most imporant thing for…

Oh snap. Looking like less of one now !

You are correct. However, you can use “I was being blackmailed” to engender sympathy in the eyes of others. For example, look at post that I was originally responding to. That person appears to be sympathetic to this guy based on their own assumption that he was being blackmailed.

Yea, Yea, I know. I am just bustin’ ya. Threatening to sick private security on her does not mean that she made a demand for $$$ in exchange for the video. Its not like this guy makes great decisions. However, given strippers’ sterling history of never blackmailing people ever, it wasn’t the craziest assumption to…

I mean, you are making an assumption that he was being blackmailed. Just like I am making the assumption that if there was ANY evidence that she was trying to blackmail him, he would have used it to try and save his behind.

Full disclosure is that I have a family member who subscribes to many of these beliefs and that cartoon pretty accurately depicts any political conversation with them. I think, in answering your question its important to remember that conspiratorial thinkers, like the dude depicted in the cartoon, only represent a …

That’s a lot to take in. Thanks for the summary.

Isn’t he Samoan?

Seriously. At best, this hurts his career. Of course, if that actually happens his constituents will just vote for someone else who tells them what they want to hear, regardless of whether they personally hold that conviction.

I agree that as long as there is a lottery, teams will tank. I think, however, the incentive for tanking has been greatly reduced. At some point you have to hope that your organization has some sense of pride or dignity that makes them want to win.

I think, increasingly, these print op-ed writers are just stuck in some past world that no longer exists. After reading your article, I’m left thinking both “who is Chait’s audience?” and “what type of person actually believes what he believes.” They are both very small circles. Its the same with the Potomac Watch…

As a lazy internet person, what evidence is there that the macing was staged? I mean, I definitely thought, “this d-bag probably maced himself for internet likes” when I heard about it, but is there anything more probative than, “look at this Jabroni, he would totally do something like that...” Just wondering.

Its kinda a distinction without any real meaning if you think about it.
