I agree with this, but it's no excuse for his comments. The Miss Whatever pageants are kind of predicated on that kind of open objectification; to allow Musburger's comments would be a tacit normalization of a very different scenario. The message seems to be that you can't just verbally fawn over a woman because her…

Talking at length about how hot a young woman is on national television? This isn't "Miss Universe," here; there's no impetus to focus on how great-looking she is, yet he did anyway. That Musberger obsessed over it is an indication of his reduction of the woman to a set of physical features. Just because you don't see…

Yeah, man! I hate feminism too! Always insisting that women not be reduced to a set of physical/sexual qualities! It's like, why should we care about, like, her major... or her talents... or her personal characteristics! She's a fuckin' babe!

And he's among the best of all-time in scoring on the opportunities he gets. Better yet, any pick-and-roll guard can do it with Chandler. In essence, he needs an NBA-level guard to run the play with him. And the other ways he scores are largely self-made: tip-outs, tip-ins, etc. You do realize that he set a record for…

Her make-up artist?

Her photoshop technician?

That's absurd. Chandler would set a record in scoring efficiency this year, leads centers in WS/48 and WP/48, and is the reigning DPOY. Do you really think that he could be replaced and have a minimal impact?

This, right here. Tyson Chandler is the best Knick on the floor, hands down.

J.R. Smith is the second-most athletic player on the Knicks (if you count James White), but second-best? Absolutely ridiculous. It's almost like Petchesky put that in there to get more page hits.

Cumin is also a great idea for pot roast.

See, he is a big man. His job is to punch people in the face and get punched in return. He may be a royal douchebag, but he is most certainly a big man.

Woo! We have a winner!

It has nothing to do with whether the illegality of marijuana is ethical or practical or whether the legality of alcohol is ethical or practical, it has to do with you coming on Deadspin.com and preaching about the issue with unfunny, thoughtless comments that do nothing to change the situation. You want to preach?…

Git on up a that there soapbox, son. Tell 'em how you sees it!

Stop.

...although I probably should have employed "nor" as my own c.c. of choice.

Looking out for them? Do you think knowing an AAU coach is some kind of Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card? If anything, those "high promise" kids are held to a higher level of accountability because there's much more to be lost. Also, you don't know how to use semicolons or coordinating conjunctions.
