I think you need to read it again... There's a moment in the text that becomes almost audible. It's the point as it goes whoooooshing over your head...

East Coast ain't your only bias, apparently...

"All I got to do was play defense, inbound the ball, and then watch him throw up 3's while double-teamed when I was wide-open under the basket."

The guy made something like 9 NBA all-defensive 1st teams before his body started breaking down. But you're right, his game…

You misunderstood my point. I wasn't suggesting that your opinion wasn't valid or that you weren't entitled to it; I'm suggesting that it's a little funny to act like your enjoyment of two of the best championship teams ever assembled was some noble choice on behalf of the purity of basketball that made you an…

I would imagine that if one were looking at a pair of scales, the side with "forever linked to these cases" is probably not quite as heavy as the side with "abused by a partner" and/or "abused by a partner who is also the parent of your child(ren)," but I think you make a valid point. It just doesn't seem like you're…

You should really think about what you wrote here because it's... more than a little inconsistent. Here's how it reads:

Miami and Nebraska (more than a decade apart, btw)? Okay, sure he was being a jerk... Oregon? Well now hell, we can't really judge a guy for being unwilling to take a class where you sign in, sit…

What was the validity of his point? Flesh it out for us...

But you don't get a discount for using the race card... Not even at the "urban" stores. Like Macy's.

I don't want to or claim to speak for Diana but I don't understand your question here. This piece seems to be a collection of facts. The victim posted something to social media which warranted an investigation. The investigation was exhausted when the victim made an affirmative decision not to participate in that…

"The main reason I started hating Kobe is that he took—and missed—so many bad shots. He is this all-time king of jacking up ridiculous, long, contested, stupid shots."

This is true, in part, because Kobe thinks almost every shot he takes is a good shot. It is also true, in part, because "scorers" routinely get the…

I took a friend from Scotland to Philly (from Maryland, near DC) just for a cheesesteak at Jim's on South Street. We did other stuff up there too, but... Yeah. Jim's.

Should we care what a rapist thinks about rape culture?

Let's try your logic in a few different contexts: Why should anyone care what a warmonger thinks about anything? Why should anyone care what someone who is directly engaged in raping and pillaging the natural environment thinks about anything? Why should anyone…

I'm so with you. I personally like Torpedo better, but I also recognize that most people would get hella drunk consuming Torpedo the way they consume Pale Ale. The issue I've run into is that I now drink Torpedo almost exclusively at home (mixing in a smattering of other micros); when I drink Sierra Pale in a bar it…

Doesn't he have a teammate who could help with that? Platonically?

I bought a bottle of this for my GF; now I'm going to have to figure out how to weasel more than 50% of it... Perhaps she gets the "pub pint" treatment?

Rest assured: My issues with the way you presented... basically everything here aren't a problem for me. The fact that you don't see any of them as problems for you speaks volumes. But congratulations on feeling as though you've "outdone" someone on the Internet. That makes me smile. Thank you!

I see a few folks on your list that I might quibble with if we were having a reasonable discussion, but overall, those are some damned fine songwriters, most of whom are Americans. As such, the only remaining issues I have with your list are A) that you couldn't type it without clicking publish after every name like…

"Carlos Boozer is the water buffalo."

One can only hope...

That's a BINGO!

Do you really think Mike Ditka eats at his own restaurant free from the expectation that anyone is going to interrupt him? Come the fuck on!

The dude is 75, famous, and has had opportunities for experiences that most people could only dream of... He's been deified by a significant portion of a major metropolitan region for the better part of 40 years. He should be able to have human interactions with other human beings, yet Action Bronson is far from the…
