    So? When did the lone fact of supporting Israel become controversial? Did he say he approves of the death of civilians? No. Did he say he hates Muslims? No. He simply said he supports Israel. This is no different than what would be expressed by a majority of Jews in the US. I honestly do not see what the issue here…

    So let's calculate this out:
    1 Wife Beating = 1 Dogfighting Conviction (Michael Vick, 2009)= 1 Stomping on an Opposing Player (Ndamukong Suh, 2011)= 1 Body Slamming a QB (Charles Martin, 1986)

Based off, no. In fact, when you compare the flood story in the bible with that in Babylonian myth, its point is more to downplay the…

    .....But why male models?

    The title is a textbook example of damning with the faintest of praises.

    Orthodox Jew here. I do those things. I hate this argument.

    Your interpretation of Ruth is wrong. Ruth is part of the Old Testament, and was likely written before Jesus even existed. To say it has to do with Jesus's line means you completely failed to actually read the damn thing. It has to do with the Davidic line, which was later attached to Jesus. Us Jews don't appreciate…

    I say have a troll ballot. Armando Benitez, Paul Lo Duca, JT Snow, Jacque Jones, Mike Timlin, Todd Jones, and Eric Gagne. That way, the BBWAA has to not vote for any of those guys to have any chance at catching Deadspin.

    ""And the priests and the people who stood in the court, when they heard the glorious, tremendous, and ineffable name, proceed from the mouth of the high priest, with sanctity and purity, they kneeled and prostrated themselves, falling on their faces, and saying, blessed be the name of his glorious majesty, for ever…
