No way, Samer clearly understands this situation better than Smith's agent.

"But the masturbatory victory lap looks like it fucked him in the long run."

"I'm sorry I thought from the awful tone of the "article' that it was tom"

I don't know that the "NFL prides itself on being progressive", but that's besides the point.

Bomani Jones's WADA comparison is totally bunk.

Completely and utter screwed, or played the game to edge and finally lost?

He wouldn't have tested positive THIS TIME. Maybe he's gotten the theoretical "B" sample with lower concentration tested as the primary in the past and "gotten lucky". Your right that it seems somewhat arbitrary which sample is selected (especially when the measured concentrations are close to the line), but that's…

First amendment, something, something...

Sorry, but I think it's a bit naive of you to believe that "you forge relationships with people based on who you are"... You sound like you're a bit younger than me, so trust me, a lot of life is about the connections you have, and those connections are forged just as much by your affiliations as by "who you are". …

Whoops wrong article.

Yeah, we're definitely never going to see eye to eye on that one.

Interesting. So you're suggesting that his behavior was on par with sexual assault from Dodai's perspective and that's why she didn't end the date? I'm not sure if you really believe that or if you're just rationalizing at this point, but ok. I don't know that you'd have a ton of people that agree with you (based on…

It should. But she's the one writing this story, so I'm commenting on her piece.

I think you're forgetting about all those players who never even get a chance to wash out from the NBA. I'm not worried about the kids that get drafted, even in the 2nd round, who at least get a chance to garner consideration from an NBA team. I'm concerned about the kids who doesn't get drafted, who had no chance of…

Again, you're treating this like he made an off-color joke or farted during the meal or something. He sent an unsolicited dick pic 2 hours after meeting someone!!!

1. Do you know how many kids declare for the draft and go undrafted and then have no career at all? I'm not worried about Andrew Wiggins or Julius Randle or even Spencer Dinwiddie or Nick Johnson. I'm thinking about the Lenny Cookes and William Alstons.

Again, I think you're still thinking through the eyes of an Andrew Wiggins or Nerlens Noel (or LeBron or KG or Kobe). And my point is that those are exception, not the norm.
