you are a piece of work. the way you extrapolate this stuff out is beyond unreasonable. I’m done dealing with you. have a great rest of your day, though I’m sure you won’t because you strike me as someone who looks for reasons to be angry

You’re an idiot. Nobody said that but by all means be a dick. I feel bad for your child.

Yes he does, he just doesn’t have the mindset.

Even that’s wrong though because of the athleticism. I see, at worst, Jason Richardson.

I feel like I’m just opening up a bag of worms here but Perk on the Celtics was VITAL. That guy D’d up every center in the league and was known as the best on-ball defender against Dwight Howard in the league. Now after the knee injury and at this point? Fine, bad skills, but his brand of toughness, rim protection,…

THIS

So this is abuse but hitting your and smashing your nose into the wall wasn’t?

That’s true. To be fair it seems like she was warned many times. At some point if the kids keep doing what you tell them not to you have to follow through on it or they’ll never take you seriously. If she was getting messed up (I took that to mean drunk) at 13 then a punishment was warranted. He’d apparently laid out…

I agree with this so much. You can’t hit your kids anymore (which is good, obviously) but that leads to creative things like this being used as punishment when other things don’t work. She openly admitted she was warned “a lot”

Right. And she openly admits he warned her this was coming “a lot” so I’m not really in the group saying he should be prosecuted. This will haunt him for the rest of his life, I’m sure, but he disciplined his kid in a non-violent way because nothing else was working. Would you have preferred he hit her?

Agreed. I try not to quibble too much with the “Lauren Hill/that soldier should have won it crowd” because as huge as Jenner’s transition and finally giving a face to a people who’ve desperately needed one, battling terminal cancer or losing limbs is braver, but the whole “Why does it deserve this for putting on a…

I’m very much against the people who are being jackasses about this but of the tweets you included in the article, only the first and last ones were truly egregious. You can’t throw someone under the bus for disagreeing with the decision to give Jenner an award for courage. The three in the middle essentially just…

Wow, that’s real substantive. I’m the one without substance though...

This is why I love arguing online. I may be an argumentative prick but the arguments do have substance you just don’t want to acknowledge that you’re wrong.

Thank you for being smart enough to understand that dimensions matter. The mouth-breather you’re replying to couldn’t get that.

You are clearly simple-minded. That huge outfield will cost guys HRs. That gimmicky hill will cost center fielders games. Those things matter. Also, spoiler alert, the “Stros” aren’t winning shit.

All due respect to New Orleans girl, you live in a city with a massive murder rate. Lock your fucking door.

I mean major free agents, none of whom want any parts of Houston’s mad-lib of an outfield.

Who was your last major free agent? That’s my point. Obv people will play for you versus stocking shelves at the super market.

Ya, I mean it’s not always great to see how the sausage is made but it’s interesting sometimes.
