Gotcha journalism, yes. And it seems that the staff would freely admit it. Entrapment refers to using something like this to catch someone in the act of a crime. Entrapment is a defense. For example, if cops create a Hamsterdam without authorization, and it’s then discovered, there is no entrapment if no one is…

I can’t remember a time when watching the Yankees has been more enjoyable

“Mark Teixeira is going to announce his retirement this afternoon, effective at the end of this season.”

Did they illegally tap a hydrant? I can see the city’s issue with that. But if they just ran a hose into it, then fuck Philly

The USOC is going to lose this one. Their argument is akin to Nike asking athletes to take down photos of themselves that show the swoosh.

When that was written, Vince Carter was still on a max contract that he signed after literally quitting while with the Raptors, which forced them to dump him for nothing. He’s rehabbed himself a lot, mainly by admitting it and learning, but at the time, hating him was completely normal and defensible.

No, it’s pretty clear that he is speaking relatively. No one needs to be reminded that professional basketball players make a lot more money than nearly everyone else in the world.

Lacob fired Jackson after a solid season, and Lacob hired Kerr, along with the staff that’s both kept Steph healthy and developed his, Dray, and Klay’s game, so taking some credit is reasonable, but yea, someone needs to tell him to stop talking.

6 of those 8 teams have been to a World Series. Who did you get wrong?

How does everyone forget that Carlos Guillen had undiagnosed TUBERCULOSIS in 2001 and wasn’t shut down and quarantined until late in the season?

DISCLAIMER: I’m a lifelong Mariner fan.

I think they could franchise him again, but it would work out the same as if they paid him the franchise amount this offseason, and in general, the jumps for consecutive franchise tagging are cost-prohibitive

There’s a bit of nuance here - in the NBA, a player can refuse to play for the qualifying offer, as can MLB players, if they don’t like what their team offers for the reason you are referencing. However, as holdouts are not allowed in those CBAs, if they sit out the year, the team retains their rights, and they are…

Yes, it was. However, holdouts are also allowed in the case of contract disputes, which was also negotiated in the CBA.

Most people do them in their gym. You don’t pay by the machine or thing you use when you have a gym membership.

> TRX is a massive scam

I use them, but in a pretty limited way. For planks, all they really do is force more of your core muscles to engage without stressing others. They’re great for stretching sometimes too. I’ll also use them for rows/pullups (I see them called pull-ups in workout posts, but they look more like inverted rows, and that’s…

No, by slim fit I mean shirts whose fit is described as “slim,” and whose fit is actually slim, and I have never purchased a patterned Express shirt.

I bet I am taller than you are.

They do. They have no way to replace him, and he’ll be movable simply because of his age.
