He did already. 

The Bryce Harper the Phillies paid a bazillion dollars for in the offseason is supposed to be a dominant slugger, an OPS machine who powers Philadelphia’s offense from the middle of the lineup. If that Bryce Harper is just being who he normally is, the Phillies would not need to shift players around to juice their…

National fans:

I assume Gabe wrote this because he was the only one left after Albert and Chris’ suicide pact went through?

Excellent post. It had never really clicked with me that the people in charge of diagnosing/treating/clearing a player after an injury have a bigger interest in the team’s success than the player’s health. The medical treatment players receive is not about their overall or long-term health. It boils down to their timel…

...Yea, a lot of kids DO still play Pokémon. I personally have seen tons of kids wearing Pokémon shirts and backpacks and in Japan, most of the merchandise (including plushies, amusement parks, special events, etc.) are geared towards kids and the anime is still one of the highest rated in Japan.

It wasn’t sneaky or underhanded at all. They announced it publicly during a live stream at one of the biggest events of the year, 5 months before launch. They could have waited months or put it as fine print on the website or even waited until after launch to mention it. Now that you mention, I’m glad that they didn’t…

basically, what they were offering six months ago

There’s a massive difference in creating fan art and asking to get credit for your interpretation of that fan art and some rich chode reposting art and FLAT OUT REFUSING to credit the artist especially when he literally has to pay a settlement from doing the same thing to another person.

Most artists in the industry of…

More importantly, more reasons for you to feel smug about it and tell everyone.

Schreier c’mon, don’t sensationalize this for clicks. Being given a 60-day buffer and opportunities to find positions elsewhere in Amazon, which there are always tons of, and severance packages just in case, is a pretty reasonable and fair process. They’re not dumped out on the street.

I’m having a hard time putting my finger on the exact difference between Masai Ujiri and Bob Kraft.

I feel like this overestimates their predicament. Curry will be back, Green will be back; both are healthy. If Durant or Thompson returns they'll have another star returning for the playoffs; if not they'll have better flexibility to add depth in the frontcourt. The Curry/Thompson/Green combo was well on it's way to…

“Draymond Green” is always the correct answer to this question.

At a very brief guess, because she reasonably dreads going through the kind of intense personal scrutiny that comes with offering up evidence of malfeasance (I’m iffy on remembering the physical abuse allegations; most of what I recall was psychological or emotional or psychosexual abuse - that he was essentially a…

Chloe was pretty clear she would only present the evidence to protect herself from a defamation lawsuit. She didn’t participate in AMC’s investigation because they didn’t care about whether he was guilty, only if he was still worth employing. Which is fine, that is all that AMC needed to do.

FWIW, the "investigation" was done internally by AMC. It was not a criminal investigation. Nobody knows why she declined to speak with the AMC people. Some people think it's because she had no case. Some think it's because she didn't want to keep rehashing it. Either way, nobody knows anything for certain. As such,…

Rather more disrespectful to consider Thailand an “amateur team” than to celebrate scoring a goal against them.

“I think, as a Canadian, we would just never ever think about doing something like that,” 

Oh cool, I wasn’t aware. Sincerely, thanks for everyone pointing out my mistake.
