Fuck this Winning Time was great.

All Things Considered, I don't have a problem with his response. Sure, it wasn't exactly On Point, but he can only deal with the Here & Now, and the Olympics aren't until next year. Why does he want to give a quote that could become the Talk of the Nation? I'll tell you what though, I bet afterwards the Caps PR guy…

Now try getting a gun into the UK.

I did PR for brands involved in sports for many years worked with average players and absolute legends. This was a failure all the way around:

I think most PSU and Paterno critics have established the fact that legally Paterno followed the rules. The problem is that he did the absolute minimum to cover his ass and never bothered to think why Sandusky was still allowed on campus with boys after McQuery came to him and the incident prior where Sandusky more…

He can't even think of those epic Notre Dame / South Florida match-ups without being immediately bombarded with childhood memories of his dad hurling empty Bud Lime cans at the family Roku in frustration.

Agreed! Definitely qualifies as an historical, almost on par with that SMU Oregon grudge match throughout the 90s.

Come on now - nothing he said was wrong.

I worked at the University of Oregon for a while in the development, aka fundraising, department. People defend this and will claim up and down that they are doing what a donor wished, but this is just putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "la la la." They are so completely, willfully oblivious to the…

I will always like July 27th. It will always be the day of the Battle of El Alamein. True stopping-the-Nazis fans know what I mean.

P.S.: I will never like August 23. It will always be the day William Wallace died. I just hate this day. True Scotsmen know what I mean.

I will never like July 27th. It will always be the day my ability to even attempt to defend what Bill Simmons has become died. I hate this day. True Boston Sports Guy fans know what I mean.

This post would have been fine except for the "No one knows pain like a Boston sports fan" trope. As a sports fan, I feel bad when a young athlete in his prime dies young. As a human being, I feel bad when a young man like Trayvon Martin gets murdered and his killer walks away, too. News flash: Death is sad. You don't…

There goes Bill again- a better and smarter fan than everyone else. I guess only "true Celtics" fans can understand the sadness and lost promise of an athlete dying in his physical prime. Why don't you and House and Jacko explain it to us. And while you are at it Boston Sports Guy, why don't you show us a picture of…

The standard would be malpractice. It's not a question of whose general responsibility it is to know what or inform who. It would be fact specific, and the question would be whether the agent's performance was well-below an acceptable professional standard. Not calling the player the day before the practice to remind…

no idiot its the parole evidence rule which states that the defendant can't have evidence used against him until he's on parole (probation)

I think the most important part of this contract, and the reason it exists in the first place, is the fact that no one will ever want to litigate it. Lopez might sue, but do you think Redick really wants to be in court litigating a contract about an abortion? Doesn't matter what it says when it comes down to it…

I was more concerned about the A/P privilege, but I see that (1) the financial adviser was copied on a lot of them, and (2) the headers suggest JJ may have forwarded them on to a "chanellopez@hotmail.com," both of which can waive the privilege. Still, I agree that these are not documents that you would normally find…

The emails with the attorney are clearly work product, and would never be contained in anything filed with or kept in a courthouse. Somebody stole/hacked this from Redick or the attorney. As a lawyer, that disturbs me greatly.

What I hate most about "the Internet brings out the worst in people" is the assumption that what we're seeing in mean online comments are someone's worst. You don't know that person. They could be some terra-troll-esque* asshole in real life.
