At this rate, he will eventually get to a point where his series of answers will just be "go fuck yourself."

I just can't stop thinking about how stupid this is. He seems like a reasonable Dude and has explained why he doesn't like talking to the media. And yet here they are, thinking he owes them a damn thing. The truth is that the NFL has outgrown it's need for media. It's such a massive behemoth that games could be played…

That reminds me of my favorite Lincoln quote: "Never trust what you read on the internet."

Agreed. You know what's really different about Lynch's answers than the others? I guarantee you more people have listened to them. Nobody cares about the generic crap the others say. So why does it matter?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. This is exactly correct.

Wow. I was not expecting that. I mean, good that he will play because they need him, but that would be a stupid sacrifice if the just delays the inevitable. Still, it would be awesome to have him until at least RoLo comes back.

I'll tell you why Johnny Depp still gets roles: It's because the promise of Johnny Depp is more appealing than what you actually get. When somebody says that they wanted Depp in the lead role for The Grand Budapest, I think that would have been great! Not as great as it turned out to be with Fiennes, but still great!…

I agree. Also, I think people forget how much we all loved Jack Sparrow before he was overdone to death. Still a great character when taken in the context of just the first movie (and the fourth, I guess). But yeah... He's Johnny Depp. He just does Johnny Depp roles.

People often forget that Oregon was the waaaay out there out West. It's population was incredibly small for a loooong time. And the people who came out were of course white people. Many of these same stories are forgotten in California toward the natives (and to a lesser extent, the Chinese). To me, it's less about…

That's perfectly reasonable! As long as it's made clear to the consumer. If you can't do it (or it's not reasonable), don't offer it. But don't make customers feel like assholes for doing something they are allowed to do.

But isn't that kind of a cop-out? Does the restaurant offer it? Then they should have taken in to account for these situations or otherwise not offer it. What this amounts to is "How dare you ask for things that I can do and our establishment offers!?" It's really none of the customers business how the machine works…

Well that's demonstrably false. An eccentric billionaire with an ego problem? Absolutely. Better than any of the other shithead owners in the NFL or NBA? Also absolutely. I think it's because he has more than enough money to just not give a fuck. He can afford to not be shady/illegal/racist/scum of the earth. Also, I…

That's the reason that everybody loves the NBA on TNT, right? Because they kinda say whatever the hell they want? It's refreshing. Also, it highlights my favorite sports show moment ever:

Yeah, but Ohio State fans are just a million times worse. Smuggest fans in the country.

I hope they keep it up. I would love to see them vs. The Blazers or the Warriors in the Championship. The East is definitely rebounding this year.

Sweet God do I love Lillard. I hope the Blazers put a franchise tag on him and never let him go. He just never gives up. Boy has some fight in him.

Yeah, but by putting the entire blame on him, it gives the rule a pass by exclusion. Stupid player, stupid rule. All I'm seeing is scoreboard: player smoked weed in the last 20-30 days (maybe at home on Christmas break! Who knows!), which has no influence on his on-field production at all, and is still suspended from…

"Rules are Rules" is a weak defense." Sorry ma'am, says here you can't vote. Rules are Rules! What are ya gonna do?" Just because it's a rule doesn't make it right.

Buuuuut we aren't players, right? So it is perfectly OK for us to debate the validity of the rule without bringing in any specific cases. Was what he did dumb? Certainly. Is it our position to just throw out the baby with the bathwater and use his idiocy to shut down any discussion of the problem at hand? No. It's a…

Seriously, Otis is amazing. When Ninkasi started, I was living in Eugene. The first time I found Otis on tap, I was so happy. Phenomenal oatmeal stout.
