You and the author are presupposing something that I don’t really think is fair or accurate: that people who don’t want the government redistributing wealth are also at the same time not donating to charities. The discussion here is more about how the wealth should be redistributed and by who. Not the fact that it…

If you’re okay with not having any friends who are also pro hockey players then any subject matter is open for trash talk. Ya it makes him look like an asshole but to be really who cares as long as it works and gets the other guy out of his game?

Young people exclude themselves so I don’t even know why you’re arguing about this.

I still don’t understand how he won that fight against Silva. It was so odd. To me he got knocked out and pointed yet somehow still won the fight. Regardless of that, dude has the strap and I think Romero will have to knock him out to take it.

Matt Hughes lost. He was out before the other guy. To me you should rule him as submitted by choke prior to the KO. But if the official result was a draw I think I can see an argument for that as well.

I don’t think the problem is with progressives not acting like hippies. I think the problem is when progressives stoop to the level that many (probably unfairly) associate with the right: being overly combative, fear mongering, lacking any sense of compromise and generally being self-righteous. I don’t subscribe to a…

This tweet doesn’t totally make sense to me. Is there a large latino population in Hollywood or is he implying that actors and actresses should move out of the US because they disagree with the current administration? I’ll be honest if it’s the latter I find it somewhat amusing if a bit of a non sequitur.

Mixon didn’t have a weapon so your scenario seems irrelevant.

They were a quality team last year and they are better this year. Why are you so down on them?

I bet they have competition to do it multiple ways. You can play 5 v 5 online though it’s really difficult to when you’re playing with someone you’ve never met before and you have no idea what they’re trying to do. It gets rather frustrating because most people’s default mode is to play iso and never pass the ball.

The math works out that most teams should go for it on 4th down in between the 40s in a real football game. You might not like it but proven probability/expected value functions bear that out. Once they start doing it in the NFL (regularly; it already happens on occasion) will you still turn off games because you…

Well they will almost certainly have the esport league during the NBA’s offseason. If they don’t then your question is entirely valid and I don’t have an answer for you.

It’s bad but not as bad as load or reload. And nothing touches st anger. God that album is a travesty.

Ride the lightning is good but Fight fire with fire would fit perfectly. They could still get their FAIYAH theme but with the added bonus of demonic/apocalyptic themes layered in. On top of that it’s possibly Metallica’s best song. The bass line is so fucking nuts.

And at a certain point after making peace with that fact they will die out as a sports league because everyone who likes the game is old and doesn’t spend money to go to the park. The fact is the MLB’s fanbase is getting older and older on average and they have to do something to stay relevant to younger fans.…

I agree that pace of play is the primary problem. However as a baseball fan (who has spent many enjoyably late nights watching marathon games) I have to say I think extra innings games affect subsequent games greatly. When a team goes deep into the night, especially in the last game of a series, they tend to come out…

I agree you can’t get physical with people just because they piss you off but it looked to me like they were unnecessarily grabbing him and crowding his space. At some point just about everyone would go to fight-or-flight when put in a situation like that.

By my count he coached 5 NBA greats (I include Rodman and Pippen) in his career. There is no doubt in my mind that he was always overrated. Yes his system amazing production out of Jordan and Kobe but as you said he has never been a good manager of personalities. And who’s to say Jordan and Kobe wouldn’t have been…

His poor defensive ability has much to do with it as well. I think there would be at least 4 or 5 teams out there who could use him if they felt confident starting him at 1st base for 80+ games a year. Since he’s basically just a DH he’s only being considered by half the league and there are plenty of guys out there…

So you’re calling him a liar?
