Maybe I haven't learned anything from watching tennis since I could sit up straight, or from either of my parents (one of which played in the US Open in the 60s), or from the legion of coaches I've played for... However, I did learn a bit from my 2nd Grade reading comprehension class. I wasn't attempting to diminish…

Couldn't agree more with this. While the results are pretty consistent for matches between the top 10 players and the rest of the field, the differences between them are minute relative to other sports.

'Wrong.' Speaking of, this isn't the right word to use...

Well played.

LSAT. I went to the University of Vermont, by the way. Barely graduated.

Sorry to also be pedantic, but it's stare decisis and jurisprudence. And prima facie. Shame your 'lawyer' friend didn't give you a book to read.

Jeter is still a perennial .300 hitter, and while his range at shortstop has diminished he is VERY reliable at the position. Add the fact that he is the most important player in the clubhouse and you end up with a player who is a little better than 'average'. Good troll.

Just one more thing - even if Kareem 'never drew double-teams', how would that support your argument? I never said that he did (even though he did), but if he didn't it wouldn't make him more impressive; it would make him less so.

'Gotcha'? From 'How Stuff Works':

I think only a complete idiot would take Moses Malone, or Tim Duncan for that matter, over MJ. MJ played top-tier defense and scored more points than anyone else on the floor on any given night EVEN WHILE DRAWING CONSTANT DOUBLE-TEAMS. I understand the arguments for Wilt and even Kareem, but I'd still have to…

The point of the ACLU is the protection of the civil liberties of individuals/groups, such as free speech, freedom of assembly, the free practice of religion, etc. Workers' rights are protected by other groups, like unions (the MLB Players' Union is a good example). No US citizen is protected constitutionally from…

I've never heard of any team in Europe being 'regulated'. 'Relegation' definitely happens though.

But nobody is in Jordan's class. He is clearly the greatest of all time, and the fact that Phil Jackson is putting them in the same sentence says everything about how good Kobe is in his own right.

No, being shallow and having no idea what the fuck you're talking about makes you shallow and have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

You are embarrassing yourself. Seriously, unbelievably out of your depth. Save your opinion for cars, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Definitely looks like the technology they're using sucks. But Mann's claim of HD video may not be dishonest. If you're saying the 19" 'isn't capable of full HD resolution' I assume you mean 1080p. I would find it difficult to believe that the Aquos monitor isn't at least capable of 720p, still technically HD. …

Ummm, that shouldn't matter. At all.

Have you ever been to Atlanta? You do realize that it is 54% African American (US Census, 2010)? I wonder how they'd feel knowing, thanks to you, that they are living 'high on the hog of millions of dead slaves'?

No one has said that slavery is ok 'once everyone who experienced it dies'. Even if they did, even if Costas did, would it take away from the truth of what he is saying about the Masters?

Seems to me that he either misheard the question, or for jingoistic purposes selectively only used English automakers to make his claim. There are many European companies who are players in the world market and suffer the same limitations this forces upon Detroit. As for his comment about American car companies…
