A collection of lawsuits is nothing better than a collection of anecdotes vetted by lawyers until they’ve been tried, and there is scant detail presented here about that end of the process.

He’s providing an alternative, anecdotal viewpoint. My own (apparently equally-worthless, anecdotal) experience substantiates some…

I hope you enjoy getting the rhetorical shit kicked out of you here, because this is going to be an unfriendly audience, but I’m absolutely with you here.

I’ve worked security at a pro sports venue as a second job for a number of years now, and I can state the following things:

1.) I am not a “guy who failed at being a…

This was my thought as well. Glad I wasn’t just pulling it out of my ass.

They’d actually get sued by the City of Buffalo. The company was originally headquartered at the corner of Delaware Avenue and North Street in the city. They’re about to move into a big (expensive) fucking building they just had constructed a little further south.

Shamelessly re-posting my response to the Gawker article, but it’s all I can come up with right now. In the man’s own words:

Being less of a dick: if he’s going to challenge the clarity of the article, he undermines his argument by misusing quotes when supporting his own inferences.

This is bad Kinja, and I should stop. Have a good one.

Yes, I’ll give you that, but there are spurious logical leaps on both sides here. 260 games in 100-ish years is a tradition, and he’s arguing that a gap in annual contests during the thing we all understand happened and interrupted the normal operation of collegiate and professional sports not being explicitly…

Pretty smug for a guy who is unfamiliar with what happened to a lot of able-bodied college age men in World War II...

Nitpicking: Buffalo police didn’t directly investigate the Patrick Kane thing. It happened in the suburban town of Hamburg. Same DA’s office, though, and they’ll be in the driver’s seat, so the sentiment holds.

Ugh, that bridge. My parents saw a young guy jump off of it to his death last weekend, driving back to New York from Florida. Poor kid, and it’s now giving my mother nightmares.

Exceptional talent and a career end-to-end class act. Mark Davis doesn’t fucking deserve him, and it’s a telling thing that he chose to spend the final home moment of his first ballot HoF career yelling out the name of his adopted home so the fans can call back one more time.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?

I look forward to hearing tales of your compassionate response the next time a huge, bloody, extremely intoxicated guy shows up and demands to be let into your business at 2 AM.

Preach, brother, preach.

Don’t be that guy.

How many public figures from the world of sports do you know who can prompt this kind of discussion? If Curt fucking Schilling can attract attention and debate with his inane Twitter bullshit, why not Kareem?

Goddamn, why don’t people talk about Kareem Abdul Jabbar the scholar more? The man is astonishingly well-read and conversant in a ridiculous number of things, and has a number of academic publications. Why haven’t we drafted this guy as one of our leaders in public discourse, I do not know.

Er. “There is another...”

And, yes, we’re absolutely on the same page for how and why Tony lands where he does. Couldn’t agree more.

I stand corrected. I guess I inferred that the city was in Wakanda because it was a large, technically advanced metropolis in Africa where Vibranium could be found. But it appears the film never states as much explicitly, so you’re right. I concede the point.
