Dude does like 27 surgeries per day (Hyperbole, but you get the point). If 5 of those surgeries don't work, does that make him a bad surgeon? No, because there are other factors involved. Post-op rehab for example. Each athlete's own unique healing capability and mental fortitude. The severity and difficulty of…

Let this be a lesson for you. Read the entire fucking article before commenting. Its not that hard.

Also apparently Dom

Hmm...makes some sense as an inside joke. I'll let it slide, fellow Widener Law alum. Provided you went to the Wilmington campus and not Harrisburg. I don't take kindly to them Harrisburg folks.

Aww....I went to Widener Law. And shitty doesn't even come close to describing it. Sucking cesspool of decrepitude is more accurate. But hey at least our bar passage rate is up (though still terrible).

Well shiver me timbers, I don't know that I knew that. I kind of saw AJ as maybe a Temple guy or even a Widener guy. Actually I didn't see him as a college guy at all, but I do suppose he's a fine investigative journalist and writer when he wants to be. (with a penchant for screwing over sources on occasion)

And no I didn't go there. My school lives only in Division III land and nobody outside of South Jersey has heard of us.

I assume its the Philadelphia La Salle, the former whipping boys of the Big 5. Also, former National Championship winner (in the 50's) and a short-lived powerhouse (relatively speaking) in the late 80's under Speedy Morris, led by Doug Overton and Lionel Simmons.

Well that's corporate responsibility( or greed if you want to be pragmatic). It wouldn't be censorship unless you would allow the definition of censorship to allow media entities. Its semantics at this point. I just don't like set legal definitions tossed around all willy-nilly without the tossee knowing the…

Would you like me to explain why this isn't even close to censorship( unless Gawker somehow got elected to a government position)? Or should we move on?

Which may have been the interpretation they used when Marty St. Louis did it a few years back. Which makes sense with how the rule is worded.

Also how is he supposed to elevate the puck over the pad? The goalie just has cover to along the ice, no?

NHL issued a rule interpretation on spin-o-rama goals a few years back and they're kosher for some reason. Rule of cool, I guess.

Ivy Leaguer (well, it was UPenn) and published author. So there's no chance he knows how analogies work.

I know I know. What ever happened to the days when our mayor thought nothing of dropping a suitcase bomb on a city block? Memories....

Oh they did and it did bother him. But they warmed up to him by the 80's with the winning and all. We're an angry self-loathing people as a general rule so to take our vitriol out on a star is just the way we work. I'd say we've mellowed a bit in the past years.

Hmm...the Mike Schmidt that still works for the Phillies as an spring training instructor? Though I think he's permanently relocated to Florida, but thats not unique. He doesn't seem to have much of a grudge against Philly or at least the organization. He still comes back to the area every now and again for random…

Wow...took me a second. Out of tragedy comes self-deprecating comedy. Tis the best.

By physical processes, are you saying there is at least some brain chemistry involved that makes certain people more likely to succumb/adhere to an addictive pattern? If so, could that pattern be genetically based and/or inheritable? Just curious. I could do the research, but meh, I'm feeling lazy.

Now I'm no big city statistician, but its seems to me that Jerry Rice fellow might be a bit on the talented side (he did have 83 catches for 1139 yds and 9tds the previous season). On the other hand, the Bill Callahan feller seems to be a might bit over his medulla oblongata as the major-domo of a professional…
