Neither of us bears any burden. You’re proving a lot about yourself every time you take to your keyboard. For example, your latest blathering proves that you think you’re sophisticated when you clearly aren’t. And that you don’t have anywhere near average reading comprehension. And that you find insults more…

Oh, I get the nature of your argument. I don’t even wholly disagree with what you’re saying. But you’re arguing against instinct in a situation where the guy who dropped the ball, in a GAME SITUATION, was trying to recover the ball, in a GAME SITUATION, by saying “guys in a practice environment don’t try to recover…

You have been suspended 5 gamesbecause, in your words: “I farted while my girlfriend was in the room. Then I jokingly blamed it on her even though there was no one else in the room.”

And YOU... will be hearing (farts) from my lawyer!!!

He wasn’t in a practice environment. He was in a game environment.

Would you like to try again?

You went to college?

There’s no burden on me to explain why you should do anything. I don’t care what you do/don’t take seriously. I truly don’t care. I’m profoundly indifferent to what you think. It’s just unfortunate that you’re doing such a dreadful job as a self-appointed ambassador of jazz. You’re completely…

Back to not understanding what I’m trying to say, eh? You’re not breathing. You’re gasping.

Jazz is indeed an art form. That’s a meaningless distinction. The highest order is in the eye of the beholder. Can you quantify that? How? Is jazz enduring? And how do you know, given that it isn’t remotely popular or…

What does Manziel’s ability to play in the pros have to do with Manziel’s performance in college? And how was A&M “pumping up his draft status?”

I can’t tell, mostly because you’re being inconsistent... Do you like jazz or do you think think it’s:

“the musical equivalent of VH1 Reality TV?”
“dick-dumb music”
“tedious temporarily exciting crap that we burn through decade by decade”
“infantile horseshit” and
“background noise for drug consumption”

I didn’t think Renee Zellwegger could ever look unattractive under any circumstances pre-immovable face “controversy” (firestorm?) and I thought she was more attractive as she gained weight, so it’s possible that these other guys really prefer their Renee Zellwegger faces with more curves...

Nahhh... That’s okay. You’ve conflated your inability to comprehend what was written into simple English with a lack of coherence on my part. Given that I was responding to someone (You, just to be clear...) who was making a nonsensical strawman argument to denigrate the subjective musical taste of others whose tastes…

I’d love to see the last ten photos you were in...

Have you ever made a playlist that 10,000 people would want to stand in a field and listen to?

Do you know how many musicians there are who would love to have songs so thoroughly forgettable that they were remembered for a couple decades?

So you don’t like music, then? And you can’t relate to it? Because the vast majority of commercially released music is either

1) collaboratively created,
2) recorded using edits, punch-ins, and multiple takes to get the final product,
3) reliant, to some degree, on auto-tune and other vocal corrections and enhancements,
…

I’m 39 come September and I’m baffled by Drake’s success. It doesn’t have anything to do with the rest of what you typed. I fully recognize that most of commercial music during my lifetime is a regurgitation of other commercial music made during my lifetime. What baffles me about Drake’s success is Drake:

I think his…

This.

Yes, because Louis Armstrong is the only jazz musician, so... this comparison makes sense! Louis Armstrong is studied (by some jazz musicians), remembered (by a relatively tiny number of people) and still enjoyed (broadly speaking, for his iconic image and one specific song). Jazz is celebrated around the world and…

I don’t think that’s what this all comes down to, otherwise this wouldn’t have lasted so long. This whole case keeps getting painted with a broad brush: Goodell’s authority is enshrined in the CBA. The union agreed to it. Goodell is judge, jury, and executioner. But my layman’s understanding of this case is that the…

I’m glad you kicked this off the way you did because my earliest recollection of this movie was thinking it was the most hilarious thing I’d ever seen that he punched a camel. And at that point in my life, it might’ve been the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen.

Whether you consider my point is up to you. My point still stands:

You followed “Not to be that guy,” with 33 words and 167 characters worth of being that guy. Just like “I don’t mean to be rude,” “This might sound racist,” and “With all due respect,” the words before the comma usually tell us more than enough about…
