Punctuation inside quotation marks is stupid. It is a very poor linguistic convention that makes little sense.

I am sorry you are such a weak person. Grow up.

“But the reason those in and around sports have tiptoed around putting a label on Manziel’s issues is because most of society still considers alcoholism a failing of both morals and willpower, even if, intellectually, we know it’s an addiction and formally a mental health disorder.”

Garnett’s peak was actually higher than Duncan’s (ever so slightly) and lasted 11 years. What has made Duncan really exceptional is the longevity.

“Greatest third banana ever” So you are an idiot, or maybe 18 years old?

Exactly.

Umm he did lie about it?

My friends dad put his motorcycle off a cliff and lucky caught a tree when he was 17. This was in like 1965. Super responsible guy when I knew him in the 80s/90s.

It all depends on where, for my 5 days business trips all over the country the rate enterprise charges me goes from under $200 in Alabama to like $800 in NY/Boston.

Why is it less funny if he died? The two things are separate? It can be both funny and very sad at the same time.

The honest answer is that for the last 50 years the world did not treat this injury as seriously as you think it is, so most of the old people making decisions grew up during that period. Also,the NFL likely still doesn’t think this is as serious as you do, and is mostly just concerned about avoiding lawsuits.

RG is done, no one wants a backup like that stylistically or headache wise. Japan has one or two years and one run of terrible starts left.

Yeah that comment was really telling about his own ignorance.

Exactly this. God Dana Stevens over at Slate doesn’t understand half the films she reviews.
