you are taking this the complete wrong way. do you honestly think that being completely truthful at all times with everyone in the media is good for him and the dolphins? should he answer media questions honestly when they ask him how they construct game plans are, how team injuries are healing, or whether or not he…

the evidence *might* say that, but i want to know how much the evidence controls for recommendations or personal connections. an insane amount of hires don’t go to (or even search for) the “best” candidate, but instead go to the candidate who already knew his future boss or was recommended by a colleague, and the rest…

well kinda, but i want to know how much the study controlled for recommendations or personal connections. an insane amount of jobs are acquired purely because the one who got the job already knew his future boss or was recommended by a colleague, and the rest of the process was kind of a formality.

to say nothing at all of your actual point, i find your use of the word best upsetting, being as the word “best” inherently means singular. there literally cannot be numerous “best” options, linguistically. i wish you had said there are numerous “ideal” or “perfect” choices.

well, how many non-JJ Watt people in Houston have 1.84 million followers and stand to make hundreds of thousands of advertising/marketing dollars if they have avid fans? any smart athlete will regularly tweet stuff out to maintain the interest of the proletariat. the article makes it sound like Watt is tweeting about…

this is silly. the mayor told public employees to stay home. watt is not a public employee, so watt did not stay home.

haha, he said that he found it fascinating. so your argument is that you somehow know that he did *not* find it fascinating? i.... don’t even know how to respond to that. congrats?

why the heck is everyone jumping on this guy simply because he very politely finds it fascinating that a website published one article that praised a widely hated trailer while said website also published a second article that is remarkably ambivalent about a second trailer that most people tend to like? it’s like in…

exactly. and whenever one person finds another person’s thoughts and opinions fascinating, the correct reaction, as you have shown, is to publically mock the first person. this clearly is the most adult and reasonable response.

not quite; after their last victory when they were 5 points up, they had something like a 85% chance of clinching playoffs due to remaining SOS and tiebreakers between two teams. Wild had basically won their way in by the time they finished their 6 game win streak.

I really don’t see a flop here... it does look like it in real time from the back, but from the replay from the front you can see that Gostisbehere is looking away when the hit comes so he doesn’t see it coming (look at the 20 second mark), yet he immediately jerks his upper body down when he gets hit; in my opinion,…

what? where in the world is she saying that demanding a candidate who represents the readers interests can *only* be for the rich? that is a bewildering stretch of what she actually wrote. what she says is that voting based on idealism, even when it runs directly against realism, is not a tactic that is available to…

hmm, interesting. i understand the distinctions you called out, but i can’t quite say i see them as persuasive. sure, keith only used one had, but that was only because his other hand wasn’t available to him, and with his one hand he seemed to deliver as much force as he could have (keith literally used all the space…

it what way was mcsorley’s more egregious? in both, a hockey player clearly and consciously swung a stick aimed at another player’s head, in both cases they made contact, in both cases they followed through the contact, and in both cases this was well away from the action where there could be mitigating impulses…

did you actually watch that video you posted? i would call that a bit more than “slightly in.” situation aside, i think it would not be unreasonable to argue that a pitch like this was intended to hit escobar, and to hit him in the upper body. of course it’s a bit silly to publically maintain a grudge this long…

supporting what a person does ≠ supporting what a person says. i do enjoy deadspin creating some piping hot click bait, though.

if you think such “coded racist” things are at all equivalent to the startlingly flagrant racist things you might find in such places as ar-Kansas, methinks you haven’t actually been to such places as ar-Kansas. or you simply want to denigrate Minnesota. either way, i suppose.

eh, i dunno, i think if coworkers knew about pay discrepancies, even when that discrepancy was warranted for documented reason, the job satisfaction and general contentment among employees would suffer dramatically. everyone has their self-bias which makes them think they deserve at least as much as (if not more than)…

well, the comparison was already made, and it was in fact that entire point of the article. so, unless you are saying that this article was wrong to compare the two at all, i think it is entirely fair to say that kelce did his around no one to celebrate going ahead, while cam was happy to do it in someone’s face while…

i know friends from private schools, and this is relatively common - you pay a small entry fee to cover food/booze/prep/speaker, and then people try to network and get jobs/work. pretty harmless. odd to have such a crazy topic for a speech, though.
