It was clearly supposed to harken back to 35 years ago, when everyone left The Forum pregnant.

This story kills everything it touches. Which leaves me with one question: what did Deadspin know and when did it know it?!

Let this be a lesson to similarly ass-backwards retail workers: racially profile customers and everybody loses. They shut down the goddamn store for a day afterwards, how you think your co-workers feel about your ignorant ass today? Let’s start by losing that manager and work down the line from there.

The pricing you allude to on the Sonos deal is bullshit. The price for that unit has been reduced going forward. This is not a $60 off deal, it’s a $9 off deal. And the Play:3 is $249 going forward. No rush on either of these.

I had to proofread a bunch of depositions taken in re: Catholic priests raping kids and then covering it up. It’s soul-wrenching work, I don’t recommend it. However horrible and disgusting you think that behavior was, I assure it was 10x more torturous and inhuman than you think. There were a number of priests that by…

I was lucky to receive my actual real-life reckoning some years ago and was forced to tangle with this in real-time. I was told off by a co-worker in very succinct and accurate terms and you could probably see the whole ten-act play going on inside me right on my face.

Reversing the entire course of american history may take some time. Who knew?

The Bob Prince reference reminds me of my favorite Caray-ism. That pertaining to the odd-ball grand slam. Referred to as “the error, the bloop, the bleeder, and the long one.”

It’s also worth noting that while the officer wasn’t trying to charge the patient with anything (at least as far as we can tell), if he were to find something incriminating in that blood sample, 4th amendment rights, even in the instance that the search was unlawful, no longer protect the patient from anything the…

That policy IS the law. The law they were trying to get her to recognize was implied consent. Implied consent in Utah was phased out 10 years ago. She was right about the law, he was wrong. Hospital policy was written with this in mind. So while the policy may not be law, it was in keeping with the law, while his…

So noted. My mistake, as ever.

Yup. Sure did.

‘Put in [her] fucking place?’ She followed policy, he didn’t. Only one person will get ‘put in their place,’ admittedly not in any real, meaningful way.

I regret to note that there likely be no lasting repercussions beyond forcing the city to bilk taxpayers even more persistently than before. Once he is found to have violated policy a civil hearing will find that his actions exposed the city to liability and whoever their municipal insurer is will once again have to…

Only 3 Lin Elliot references this year. It’s nice to see the old agonies are giving way to new ones.

Mike Schooler. After giving up 7 game-losing home runs, including 4 grand slams, all in one season, I was hooked. When myself or my brothers were upset at our own piss-poor baseball performance we would literally look in the mirror and say “at least you’re not Mike Schooler.” Lou Pinella would’ve been proud of us.

Nothing you could wish on them could be any more torturous than reality.

How do we know that quote isn’t just Hardaway giving this guy the Run-around?

No rush.

No shame in that.
