Glad you don’t necessarily approve of all that racism. Some, of course. You're only human. But probably not all of it.

Of course he went right for down under.

Glad to see Francesca’s callers are contributing to this debate.

I don’t have an insightful or witty reply. Just wanted to say that was as eloquent and pinpoint accurate of a response to Wilbon as we’ll see from anyone.

Ok fine. Replace literally give them away (although they did, not just to famous people) with do everything in their power to make cigarettes as attractive and available to young people as possible including using god damn cartoons to sell them. I remember seeing a magazine ad showing a teen/young adult grabbing a…

Where you lose me with the automaker comp is that car companies haven’t been basically giving away Ferrari’s to any 15 year old who expressed interest. The ability to make their dangerous product cheap and readily available to a vulnerable demographic can't be compared to the auto industry.

Sorry to focus on one part of that long post but, “the warnings that it was addictive were very, very wel known for most of his tobacco using life” willfully ignored my central point that Gwynn and countless others were actively targeted as teenagers specifically for their poor decision making and susceptibility to…

Does the fact that it is an incredibly addictive substance not register at all? If someone gave out a bunch of free heroin to teenagers, we would know exactly where to lay the blame. No one would say, “Well teens, you know heroin is bad for you. Just stop already.” Tobacco companies actively target teens who are more…

Interesting isn’t necessarily commendable. If one player murdered another on the the field it would certainly be interesting, but I doubt we would applaud it.

Like who? Yoda?

You don’t find it a little funny to use “vintage RG3" to describe one single season his first four months in the NFL?

I don’t think anyone’s ever accused Shanahan of not being enough of a hardass.

Glad you’ve found the one team to ever employ PED users.

Didn’t think i’d ever star a Dodger fan. Fuck that guy for making me agree with you.

You're just a ball of white hot rage, aren't you?

For reasons besides what he did to the Blazers last night? As an NBA fan, there doesn't seem much not to like.

What I don’t understand with everyone so upset with you is does this really qualify as a spoiler? Which of the previous 20 Marvel movies would lead someone to believe this one would have real and long lasting consequences like the death of a major character? Anyone who thought, “Fuck I thought they were going to kill…

90% seems a little high. Obviously chance has a lot to do with the draft, which helps explain the 15 or so teams in the middle every year. But between knowing when to trade up and down, making smart pick trades with other teams, not reaching for players, and talent evaluation, there’s a reason certain teams draft…

You're either willfully ignoring or just unaware that the cult of personality surrounding Joe Paterno is unlike just about anything in American sports. Even coaching legends like Bob Knight and Bobby Bowden got fired from the institutions they made great.

I totally get your point about the significance of big historic records, but it's always gonna get fuzzy comparing generations. Babe Ruth set those records not having to play against black players or play day games after night games or travel to the West Coast. It doesn't diminish those records, but it does qualify…
