I know that players are dying to get back on the field, and that coaches are pushing them to do it, but doctors aren't supposed to sign off until the players are ready. And those doctors are employed by the teams, ostensibly to provide medical care to the players, not just to dope them up and get them back out there.…

I'd sure love some of Adam Sandler's bad luck. You may not like his movies. I don't see many of them because they are all pretty much the same. But, he's worth an estimated $300 million and his last 10 movies average over $100 million each. That's not really a rough streak.

No big deal, that foul ball will be in Raleigh this time next year.

Third thought should be "fuck yeah, I don't live in W. Virginia, even if those potato skins look good"

Funny, that's what McNair's mistress said too.

The NFL is an unincorporated association of what? The teams. You sue the whole league to sue all of the teams at once. Then you join each and every team, and the doctors individually, but the league is appropriately included.

Because proving negligence is a lot easier than proving malpractice. The doctors were employed by the teams and the teams and league are therefore liable for what they did. Yes, it's deeper pockets, but it's also an easier case to make.

You forgot to explain away how players were never told of their own injuries. I don't have the link handy, but you should read Nate Jackson's deadspin article about finally getting his medical history after he retired and learning what doctors actually thought of his injuries.

If you're going to reference the "old Deadspin" then you should know that this is a joke and have some idea what the joke is.

I would prefer not having laughed at this. Do we still give +1s around here?

I've fallen for more than a few of these too. Thanks for being a good sport about it. At this point I've all but saved a stock response about how [_____] isn't a govt actor and doesn't owe you freedom of speech, so I generally appreciate what you're trying to do. I think the problem is that good trolls are smart and…

It's just his form booty-call text with a few words changed to make it sound like it's about football.

Can we bring back the Sonics and let them have the Clippers roster?

Is there a freedom of obvious sarcasm?

While we're imploring one another to think, did not the "quartering of soldiers" tip off the fact that the comment you're responding to is a fucking joke?

It's not our place to judge who he wants to fuck. You don't have to celebrate it, but you also don't have to comment about it at all. To call it disgusting is, in fact, intolerant. To your question at the end, there are some conversations that we don't need to have, for example:

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

To be fair, google results are somewhat personalized and when I type in Jan Vesley (who I had never heard of because I don't watch basketball very much) "trade" comes up first, then "stats", then "bust", then "girlfriend". So, maybe you google that a lot.

Going in a little different direction, but starting with the crux of your point: MLB isn't a government actor.

And V. stated that he asked her to record his thoughts because he's starting to lose his mind... that sounds like consent to me. At the very least it's a question of fact that would prevent you from being so sure if you gave a fuck about getting it right.
