I think there are plenty of years between toddlerhood and adulthood to comprehend that adults handle it differently.

With two exceptions, if you break up with someone over the phone or by text message, you are a shitty person and you deserve to be lonely and sad for the rest of your life. If you’re leaving an abusive relationship, then you don’t owe them shit and your own safety is what’s important - even a text message is fine. And…

Regarding the money, Terrelle Pryor got suspended for breaking NCAA rules so it’s not unprecedented. As for the weed, I believe Goodell will do something but I don’t know if he’ll be suspended. Isn’t the punishment for a first failed drug test as an NFL player essentially being monitored most closely but no…

Congratulations, you are living proof that a college education does not make people smart. You literally said that he should have passed up a career that has a likelihood of earning generational wealth in order to take a low-paying job to help his mom keep the lights on.

Also Chicago. They had a chance to draft a guy who was the probable #1 pick before Tennessee traded down, at #11, and instead traded up for a guy who's questionable.

That’s true, and I can see why the video affected Tunsil’s draft stock. However, we don’t know when it was taken and we do know that he has not been arrested for drugs or failed a drug test.

This is the first time I actually believe someone when they say their Twitter was hacked.

I hesitate to make a comparison between hockey and basketball (I swear I am not claiming one sport to be better or tougher or anything than the other), but looking at the difference between the playoffs is insane. After maybe the first round it seems like any NHL playoff team could conceivably win the cup. Meanwhile…

There’s absolutely no one right answer in all situations, and even if you calculate which is better economically in a specific situation it’s hard to put a number on one’s personal preference. I know people who really, really love homeownership and would consider it a good deal for them even if it cost a lot more than…

Of course it depends on the terms of your leas, but in general, maintenance beyond cleaning is usually included in apartments. Where I’ve lived and where I’ve looked for apartments, all landscaping and snow removal were included in the rent. As for damages, of course you’re responsible for them but they’re not an…

Do you have inside information to back this up? Seems just as likely to me he decided not to have kids, which is an option plenty of people in all kinds of relationships choose.

No, by my count at least six years of his young adulthood was spent not being with an elderly person. And whatever he’s given up was his choice, freely made. Unless you think a 25-year-old is an adolescent incapable of making mature decisions, in which case I’d ask when exactly does adulthood begin in your world?

And even if you think it’s creepy, it doesn’t make the old guy a predator. A mentally competent 25-year-old is plenty old enough to decide who he wants to date.

Yeah...looking at the cap situation and some of the bad contracts the Blackhawks have, I don’t see how they reload this time.

I think it's less bad than the intentional walk because hitting .300 isn't that rare and it's a season long achievement. Now make it .400 and it would seem worse, but I still think it's not as bad as intentionally walking a guy to preserve a no-hitter.

I think we as a society have to focus on changing the culture. Unfortunately it’s not going to stop every idiot, and there’s never going to be a way to eliminate the stupidity entirely. (Yes, law enforcement should do a better job when actual threats or a pattern of harassment is involved, but not everything that’s…

I agree 100% when you’re talking about threats, but there are a lot of vile things you can say to someone that aren’t legally actionable (nor should they be). Twitter and other sites can and should ban users who harass others, but if someone wants to be a troll and just keep creating accounts there’s no way to stop…

I don't think Bradford has any chance to be a part of the Eagles long-term. They traded away a bunch of picks to move up to take a QB second overall. Even if you believe they want to redshirt him a year to develop him, he's going to get ample chance to start no matter how bad he is. Bradford will be gone by the time…

For the longest time I misheard his name as “Iron Eagle.” I was so disappointed when I found out that's not what it is.

I question how much of the data drawn from asking people to sleep in a lab and be monitored applies to people sleeping in a reasonably comfortable hotel room on a business trip or vacation. I know people who’ve had to have sleep studies done and they said it was nearly impossible to fall asleep in such a clinical…
