I was similarly curious, and like you, couldn’t find anything that seemed to apply in the Rule Book, nor in the companion Case Book that gives more specific examples of rule application. If you do a Google search for “NBA rules stickum,” one of the top results is something claiming to be NBA rules on penalties that…

Fine, I’m going to be that person: he had 76 points and 22 assists in 24 hours. There are plenty of valid things to criticize Harden for, but this one is just yelling into the sports media echo chamber, and it’s dumb.

When I was out of the country and had to watch NBA games via shady streaming websites, it was a treat to come across a stream that, rather than go to commercial break or the League Pass screen, would just stay with a camera on the empty court and audio of the announcers’ mics, and I could hear them practicing reading…

Fouls are literally not part of the game, they are what happens when you break the rules of the game. The awarding of free throws is meant to punish the offending team for doing something that is not part of the game of basketball, and to discourage rule-breaking by putting the offending team at a disadvantage. The…

Ugh, Ken Paxton is a turd bucket who is currently under indictment for numerous felonies and should be fired directly into the sun, but I think he’s finally managed to correctly interpret Texas law. What’s that saying about 1,000 monkeys on 1,000 typewriters?

No dude, it is literally the exact same script Mark Cuban and the Mavs read from when DeAndre Jordan broke their hearts, and no one on the planet (outside of Dallas) believes they were effusively praising DJ or being charitable, they were just epically butt-hurt. And so are the Cardinals.

On the one hand, I agree with you that AA/NA is bullshit. On the other hand, the success rate of recovering addicts who continue to use “just a little bit” is even lower than AA’s. The idea that an alcoholic can still have a few drinks makes as much sense as saying that a crack addict can do a few lines every once in…

Today he tweeted something along the lines of “I don’t believe in jinxes, but just in case, Congratulations to Hilary Clinton on your election!” Seriously, he really tweeted that. He’s the worst.

I’m not Diana, but I can tell you that fines and restitution have no relationship with ability to pay. Fines are set by statute, and restitution is based on the victim’s financial loss. In this case, probably just the cost of her medical treatment. In order to penalize him financially, she’ll have to sue him, but then…

Don’t add water, but it’s fine and good to add half a gallon of warm milk like some kind of little baby who can’t get to sleep? You want some nutmeg sprinkled on top of that you fucking coffee hypocrite?

“Amateurs.”

I clicked on your link thinking you had somehow managed to find the one and only case in recorded human history of someone using a trans-friendly policy to commit a sexual assault, but nope, it was just another dumbass whining because her gym let someone into the locker room who doesn’t look feminine enough for her…

Nobody gives a fuck that they got drunk. But Americans sure as hell didn’t run out the nearest English pub to literally waive their dicks at shell-shocked Brits a few hours after the 7/7 attacks. If you can’t understand the difference, you’re as mentally crippled as these third-rate soccer players.

They aren’t the only ones. I don’t remember which game, but there was a serious injury during one of yesterday’s primetime games and the commentators just kept nattering away about how the team couldn’t afford to lose that player. Like, I’m pretty sure that kid can’t afford to lose all feeling below his shoulders, so…

The string of robberies was what sparked the investigation into the assault.

This guy is human garbage. His Twitter feed is nothing but blatantly racist diatribes against “the blacks” and Trump-humping.

To be fair, that’s the MO of every retained consultant. I don’t know about university physics departments (do they charge or do it pro bono for science?), but nobody hires an expert to just dump all the data on them and have them figure out “the truth.” I’ve never used Exponent myself, but nothing I’ve read about…

It is a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to access a computer without authorization.* The law doesn’t care whether you found the password on a Post-It Note stuck to the computer or had a room full of nerds with Cheeto-stained fingers decrypting parsed nanosectors or whatever. If you don’t have…

This... this seems like it might actually be the right situation for the League to step in and rescue the Kings with “basketball reasons.” I feel like I just watched a conman take money from a mentally disabled child.

Sorry, but are you suggesting that someone else, completely independently of the Cardinals, just so happened to hack the Astros’ database at the exact same time as the Cards’ employees, and these mystery parallel hackers are responsible for the leak? Ooooookaaaaay.
