No, actually it doesn’t help his defense.

“If I talked shit where I played - I would get my ass kicked if not murdered”

This is an important question. Since the post only asks, which owner is the worst, I’m thinking complete body of work. So, I’m going with Snyder - though it’s a lot closer call than I would have imagined. I think this award should probably be treated as a HOF-style honor that gets handed to one person a year, as…

I wouldn’t leave a child with most of the people with whom I play either - but that’s largely because I have plenty of people with whom I’m closer than my basketball buddies.

I watched strangers from all over the world and every ethnicity come to the help of this man for over an hour!

Did you refer to them as “the brothers” before or during the game?

It sounds like you’re uncomfortable around the people with whom you play basketball. If you are, then you can’t be yourself as a player or a person - and, in that case, you should probably look for a new group to play with. Forget about the thinly-veiled race-baiting in your comments (and changing your reference to…

I agree that using his basketball ability to assume he’d pick up and excel at football is pure conjecture. But, I don’t think that’s what people are doing. You don’t see people suggesting that Kevin Durant would be able to transition to the NFL, or that Clayton Kershaw would be a great quarterback because he’s amazing…

I only wish that they would have included the other version on the album as well, as a bonus track or something.

I know I’m late to respond here, but it is ridiculous to extrapolate what happened on that play to draw any conclusions about his potential durability as a football player. He fell on his wrist - that’s not an issue of being tough. And, that kind of impact doesn’t happen with any frequency whatsoever in the NFL - how…

Georgios Papagiannis is not for second round! Have power for lottery pic

1. Michael Jordan was NOT the athlete Lebron is. He’s most likely the greatest basketball player ever, but when you think about everything that goes into the idea of general athleticism, he’s not what Lebron is.

You know it’s beneficial to get fouled, right? And, also beneficial the do your best to dissuade players from playing you more physically? ...Do you think he’s complaining to the refs about fouls because hand checks hurt him? They’re violations of the rules and he wants to the game officiated in his favor as much as…

What leads you to believe that Lebron is “greatly impacted impacted by the minor contact of basketball?” ...Lebron James is one of the most durable superstar basketball players in the history of the sport.

Pretty sure that’s not Jesus Christ. The whitewashing of history continues.

I think racial profiling is extremely pervasive as well. It’s a big problem, and one that’s hard to combat because it’s often a heuristic that is a result of all kind of other racism that exists out there. So, it’s the result of racism as much as it is racism itself.

People use that expression all the time; it’s weird. In office culture, people will often say, “I’m out of pocket,” so imply they are unavailable. This is an expression that comes from the world of pimping to indicate that a “hoe” is “misbehaving.” I don’t really understand how it infiltrated mainstream use in the…

I caught a random one of those broadcasts earlier in the year. One of the teams’ bands featured a glockenspiel and he spoke about glockenspiels for about 25 minutes. It was the best thing I’d seen on ESPN in years!

There was a time when Griffey would have been a major bomb, but I don’t think that any power hitter from that era would be seen as that huge a surprise at this point. Jeter would indeed prompt the craziest shit storm among baseball players. Mariano Rivera is worth a mention too. Greg Maddux perhaps as well.

This is the key! You can be as pretentious for the sake of precision as you’d like if you’re among company who has the same level of interest and knowledge base - or if you’re in a situation where the person with whom you’re speaking has expressed an interest in becoming more familiar with such concepts and their…
