For all of this analysis, you still haven't debunked the central fact uncovered in Warren Sharp's original post: Since 2010, the Patriots have fumbled the ball at a strikingly lower rate than the rest of the league. The first chart above — showing how aberrant their 187-plays-for-fumble rate is vs. the norm for the…

Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

As a white person, I was wondering why the author didn't answer those questions, but then I realized that it's not their job to tell me how to be a decent human being. After all, it's not "positive behaviors" us good white people want to be congratulated for; we expect to be patted on the back for treating black…

Well clearly they weren't offended if they stopped to take a picture with her and accepted the money. It's not anyone business but theirs.

what don't you understand? it HER store! she can talk to whoever she wants whenever she wants.

So we should never speak to strangers?
What a boring life you must lead.

Interrogating. Hahahaha. Holy shit.
How do you... I mean... Wow.
It's just awkward, "hip" mom, rappin at the kids. Also...where in there did it say they were texting? You just.. wow.

She wasn't using them as a prop. The friend was talking about these specific two men. She also aided them. Remind me to never tell a friend to stop being a racist or aid those people my friend was so wrong about because I will then be using them as a prop.

I grew up with a mother who would probably have done the same, both share the community matriarch complex. Unless up in random people business. But, I think this story is more of testament that we need to start see two kids as kids rather then criminals. Isn't it possible that little anecdotes as these can snowball…

Perhaps they felt safe in explaining to her what they were doing? Perhaps they weren't forced? Perhaps there really is a positive spin to this story instead of the negative one you and others here are taking great pains to make? Just a suggestion.

It's so sad that this is the state of our current society. A stranger goes over to two strangers to chat and learn a little about what is going on in their lives and she is actually "interrogating" them. Then that stranger realizes the other two people have a problem and helps them with that problem and she's…

Jesus Christ, she was being fucking nice. Her asshole friend assumed they were doing something wrong, when really they were just trying to go do something fun and couldn't afford it. She assumed that there was more to the story than them being "up to no good," went and asked - a novel concept, I know - and was right.…

Let's say the prosecutor hadn't thrown the case and bear in mind that the grand jury heard 25 days of evidence, totaling over 70 hours and 60 witnesses and, based on that, couldn't even meet one of the lowest standards in the criminal justice system ("probable cause"). But, let's just say that he hadn't screwed…

Holy shit that banner illustration. I can't imagine that work-order.... Hey Jim... here's what I need.....

Please STFU. Every once in a while, a spanking is necessary. I've been lucky; my daughter is three and some change and I've never had to hit her until once, a few weeks ago. Sometimes, corporal punishment is needed and can be effective as long as you follow three rules:

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, we all owe Stephen A. Smith a big, fat apology!

So he's remaining aloof-a?

Strange name, that "Gofuh Kyorself".
