+1 Drew. Pointing out the lunacy of ESPN while remaining sympathetic to the kids and their families.

I've always thought that bell should be rung if the word is correct, and it seems counter-intuitive to do it the other way.

I work for a company where if you are a stockholder you bank and if you do the labor you make a shit living and constantly get pushed to somehow increase sales when the investors won't do their due diligence and hire pest control or replace any of the 20 year old fixtures that are falling apart. If you work really…

The posturing for a more lucrative contract angle doesn't really work, because everybody already knows that he is a max player. Any team that doesn't offer him a max deal is going to immediately fall out of the running, so Paul doesn't need to try and coax any money out of anyone.

Atlanta is an intriguing option, but I…

Combine that with daily brainwashing from the far right, telling poor individuals who work harder than hell and make almost nothing and are continually mistreated and exploited that unions are bad.

This is the new narrative that has been drilled into our heads since the 1980s: you should be happy to have your job. If you find you are being taken advantage of, just either leave the job or shut up. And it's been wildly successful! Wages for almost all workers have remained flat in relation to inflation since 1980.

Ohhhhhhhhh shit, prescription strength ibuprofen. Now it's a party. Sounds like some back pain is about to get triangle choked.

This isn't really a clever prank, it's like telling someone their house burned down and then laughing as they freak out about it. Like if someone tells you your house burned down you're supposed to be all "Oh you, just pranking me again I see!"

Have a hard time understanding how someone could torture a person they care about in this way. One of the features of loving or caring about a person is having an innate desire to prevent them from experiencing any kind of suffering isn't it? I mean, it's not a big deal in the end but it's just my first thought.

Now THIS is what Kobe should be doing on twitter.

I wouldn't really call that an "experiment." More like an unfunny very cruel prank. I got one, text your girlfriend's mom "I didn't mean to kill her" and then don't respond for an hour...fucking hilarious

Fortunately, you can cover up the prank by finishing the thought.

I haven't been fully honest with you

That's straight evil. The good news is: anyone who thinks this is funny and worth doing is not really someone any sane person would want to date.

Family Law attorney in California, I was commenting to the extent I know community property laws. Didn't know about no-fault option in Texas.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have deleted them. In fact in another thread I said he probably should have deleted them, but yourself in his mindset. At no point did he think "man someone could construe this as child pornography." He took a video of his kids doing harmless, if slightly bizarre, kid stuff which fit…

There absolutely is plenty of blame to be placed on the university. Certainly the prosecutor and police deserve more, but the university is not blameless.

Wrong. Texas is a no-fault, community property state. Infidelity does not matter.

The university did not ruin his career. They followed all the right steps (until they fired him without paying out his contract).
