“I’m not prejudiced, a white male in this country has very few rights and they’re getting took more every day,”

The bar is high but also very specific. The main factor is whether there’s a reckless disregard for the truth, and given that an old turkey neck like Joe West (with considerable assistance from his lawyer, natch) was able to easily cross-reference game data and discredit the story, that sort of reckless disregard…

I was at a Halloween party with my kids this weekend, and two women were there with their daughters, drinking their Starbucks and acting like the best of girlfriends. Then the girls starting calling each other “Sissy,” and now I’m pretty sure they’re half-sisters from the same dude.

That is some Rovell-adjacent shit.

Maybe you should, not necessarily about him getting arrested, but about someone else’s willingness to lie in the fact of facts. Kinda sounds like someone else that most of us agree we don’t like very much, doesn’t it?

Yes. As in someone who takes up a cause for attention, and then promptly forgets about it, as portrayed in the cinematic masterpiece PCU, starring a young Jeremy Piven and a young, fat Jon Favreau.

And nothing. He was accused of being all talk, and I’m just here saying that’s not true.

He can still do plenty of wrong. Just pointing out that he did it. Plenty of other people, candidate for president of otherwise, didn’t. I’m mostly just playing Devil’s Advocate here; if he’s the nominee, he’s getting my vote, but I’m not some Berniebro.

“Read more.”

Oh I didn’t say he gets an sort of card for it. Having said that, he still did it, and it was a much bigger risk for him back then I’d imagine. Either way, he’s certainly not the same sort of young, trendy causehead the original comment was referring to. That’s all.

I know we’re supposed to hate the football team from Washington in just about every way (and rightfully so), but I’ll be damned if those uniforms aren’t pretty freaking sweet.

Except that he was literally arrested during a civil rights protest in Chicago when he was 21.

I think he gets a pass for two reasons overlapping reasons: First, he’s always been the one to stick his neck out, which is a bit of a double-edged sword because it creates a certain degree of expectation. But more important, what does he have to gain? He’s dealing with multiple layers of a no-win situation, and he’s…

I mean, if he has a shot to coach anywhere, it has to be Arizona, right?

Apropos of nothing: Roth totally sounds like Kevin Bacon.

I mean, the guy’s old. He might as well have been wearing Skechers out there.

“I show Gio respect. He’s a Norris Trophy winner.”

We all just presumed Bush was just a stupid puppet.

Holy shit he basically said “Hey, we’re pulling out of Syria, but it’s cool because we can always go back and blow them up later!”

I think you finally managed to put into words why I stopped watching football — especially the NFL — for the most part: I know more than I used to, and the myriad ways owners will try to screw players is just staggering. And these idiots who are willing to carry water for the owners out of some imagined slight is…
