Seriously? Feel bad? Why is it there are SO MANY SERFS who feel it's their duty, nay, pleasure, to bootlick their betters while complaining about the labor wanting more? The labor in the NBA is what brings people in and has generated the value for the league — them and the suckers who build the owners new palaces on…

"I could write a similar article about every job I've ever had."

Detroit might not be a great investment, but the Red Wings are. A totally different story. They could have stayed at the Joe Louis arena indefinitely and sold out, made tons of money while becoming worth more and more. Instead, he decided to take more money from the city to make more money for himself.

Deal with all of what? Interview requests from the Advocate? There are lockerroom cancers on every team, every day. Some guys have to pill up just to be able to walk, others are rageaholics who are jamming needles into themselves every day. Still other guys are on the fringes of nominal society, running with a real…

Yes. In the NFL it manifested itself in every game the Pats play when they go for it on Fourth down and they are up by more than two TDs in their opponents' side of the field. The "unwritten rules" demand a FG attempt, but the rules that exist say no such thing — a FG would be a worthless add-on, while the defense can…

To limit the ability of small markets to invest wisely? The exact opposite. It was a sop to the cheap teams over "signability" issues, so good players wouldn't slide to teams who don't mind paying for talent instead of cutting into their tens of millions of dollars of revenue sharing profit. The "small market owners"…

It's even easier to admonish the Astros for failing to do due diligence, tacitly agreeing to a price, then backtracking in a way that looks entirely fraudulent in order to sign someone else, only to then lose their top TWO picks because they are cheap, blind and stupid. If his arm is going to explode, and let's say it…

So depressing to read the responses of so many serfs, defending the police state and whining about "lefties" who don't particularly like when people who fucking JAYWALK are thrown against a car because they act like normal citizens in the face of stupid policing. Really, just a bunch of sniveling assholes who enjoy…

You are excusing excessive force because you feel cops are above the law. So, yes, you are just another bootlicking douche. That you drove drunk and tried to lean on your old man doesn't actually excuse the fact that cops are running amok in this country and if you don't see that, it's because you are an apologist and…

Probably because RMK was yelling at them.

I guessing you can't even see your toes, so talk more about what athletes do, champ. Things like "toughen up" and "people are too sensitive" are the kind of things idiots who know exactly shit about being an athlete think work.

YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER, WHAT DOES THAT REPLY EVEN MEAN?! ARE YOU GOING TO BE THAT FUCKING STUPID YOUR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE, JUST SPOUTING STUPID FUCKING THINGS TO BETTER PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU LIKE GETTING YELLED AT? YOU HAVE TO TOUGHEN UP YOU PANSY.

I'm torn. On one hand, everything from the slave-built stadiums to the obvious corruption to the normative conditions during summertime on the Arabian peninsula is completely repellent, on the other, I can't wait to see how they deal with Budweiser forcing their way into stadiums.

Except Liverpool wasn't expected to contend for the title this year and that expectations going in were such that a Champions League birth would be a great outcome. The expectations weighed heavy only at the end, when the "great outcome" of a season turned to ash when they didn't win the title. The best case scenario…

"I certainly hate that this has happened because it's not an accurate portrayal of the city or our paper. What I was really disappointed in is his characterizing so many people in a city with such broad terms."

Totally true. No one — not a soul — would have thought "Greece has a pretty good domestic league" would have been at all grammatically wrong or incorrect, because it's not. The US, after all, has a mediocre one. The Greeks have one. Greece has one.

Weak? Cobb County is the toxic heart of the modern GOP — it's where Newt so bravely broke every standard of monumental hypocrisy and grift. But yes, the Cobb County County Commissioners are dominated 4-1 by Republicans. That said, the tea party was supposed to be against the Braves' smash and grab and the SCLC, a…

Because the Love Guru was a flop in addition to sucking whereas Sandler's movies print money because they are almost always made on the cheap without regard to anything that makes movies worth watching — scripts, plot, characters, cinematography, editing, continuity, competent direction, acting, etc. — while appealing…

"No-one is denying that things are not perfect."

An actual left-leaning economist and not an anti-labor slate "liberal" would tell you are an ignorant sadist, Yglesias too. Free will...My God you live under a complete delusion how the world works.
