I like how the entire discussion is based on the cream of the crop.

I know, right? I hate these media outlets that celebrate this guy like that... Ahem...

Those freakin' Cougars, man, they're everywhere...

Is the defender pulling the JalenRose-DahntayJones-BruceBowen move that Kobe has decried? I understand that's not the point, but still seems a little dirty.

How long did you know this woman before you married her? #cautionarytale

Jezebel commentator jokes are NEVER funny.

I'm wondering what "pro-Spokane" rhetoric sounds like...

While I'll grant that there are lines that probably shouldn't be crossed in terms of fans cheering/chanting. It's difficult for me to believe that Deadspin should be arbiter of that line.

Well, under the prevailing logic most popularly noted here in the comments, as long as you don't hurt others, it's alright. I'd argue someone that there is a responsible level of drug use where that can be achieved (for non-prescription pain killers, cocaine, etc).

I'm not sure if you're too young for the 80s or if you're too blind to see it, but if you replace all references to "shooting" with "cocaine/crack" in your second paragraph you get the EXACT situation of the 80s and Len Bias. A environment where there was a growing sense that we needed to do something about the…

This is by far the most intelligent thing anyone has noted here. (and the one that should be the most thought-provoking no matter which side of the issue you may be on) Thank you.

I don't want to trivialize the gun related fatalities (I realize I sounded more callous toward Newtown that I'd intended to), but I really do fail to see the prevailing logic you're offering, we're only allowed to impulsively make policy when others are killed?

Thanks for judging my entire ideology based on 3 sentences. I don't own a gun. I'm much more liberal than you probably assume that I am. And like 70% of the country, I support tougher gun registrations laws.

Fully prepared for all the hate will come my way here from the liberal commentariat, but it's unclear to me how folks can see the over-reaction on Len Bias and drugs (or 9-11 and terrorism on US soil/airport security), but not see it when it comes to incidents like Newtown and guns.

Terrible logic. FG come with someone playing defense against you.
