Bill Tobin's Neighbor, The Postman

A former co-worker of mine booked a trip to Belize (from NY) while drunk. He only booked the hotel/resort while drunk, so when he sobered up he had to buy plane tickets too.

I’m always amazed by the number of people who think they can influence the outcome of a courtcase by writing the judge a letter or protesting or, my personal favorite, tweeting at them (during the next big Supreme Court case, go look on Twitter for a bunch of idiots who think they are tweeting at John Roberts and

Once when I was in little league, I hit a single, but thanks to like 3 or 4 errors, I scored. It was during practice, but it was the only home run I ever hit, so I say it counts.

It looks just enough like the USS Enterprise and not enough like balls that they can claim it was innocent and not get in any trouble, but too much like balls for me to believe them. It’s pretty genius.

He got a religious exemption because he worships Chronos.

Wait, they fine unpaid college athletes? It’s one thing to fine an NFL player making hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, but for a college athlete those fines add up quick. That’s messed up.

Edit: I can’t seem to get the Roger Goodell punishment generator image to post here. Anyway, I got six games because “I intentionally hit a ref.”

He only said that he attended law school, not that he passed the bar exam.

He’s been waiting for it to grow back. He finally gave up when he realized that he’s a star football player, not a star fish.

But the problem is that regular courts don’t move quick enough and it’s sometimes hard to convict even when everyone knows the player is guilty. It looks worse for the NFL to let an accused wife beater play than it does to bungle the suspension procedure. At least this way, they get to say “we tried, but courts and

I’m not disputing that the procedure was a mess. But I have seen people say that even if the procedure is completely correct and fair, the NFL should not suspend players for off-field actions (and this article’s comment about “useful idiots” kind of implies that). I disagree with that position, but the fact that

I understand that Goodell made things worse for himself by screwing around. But there are a lot of people who think that the NFL should not suspend players for off-field actions unless there is a conviction (or at least, if the player is in jail awaiting trial like Hernandez). I’m not convinced that’s correct.

Do you actually believe that the “deflator” was just trying to lose weight?

You mentioned the Rice, Peterson, and Hardy suspensions. I’m wondering what you would have done in those circumstances if you were commissioner? I think Goodell was essentially caught between a rock and a hard place. The way I see it, there were two options:

My takeaway from this whole thing is that the Patriots and Brady cheated (I don’t for a minute believe that “the deflator” was on a diet), but Goodell couldn’t prove Brady was in on it so he decided to ignore the CBA and suspend him anyway. Basically, wrongdoing on both sides.

We had made an illegal turn but there was no sign saying it was illegal. Once we made the turn, we were trapped. We couldn’t have run away even if we wanted to. The cop knew that and was taking advantage of the lack of clear information.

I once saw a cop pull over like 8 cars at once. He was standing on a median and just kept flagging down cars as they drove past. I was a passenger in one of the cars that got pulled over. We sat there for like half an hour because he was too busy looking for other cars to pull over and writing tickets for the cars he

“those kids at his camp were hoping for Geno”

The Browns play in Baltimore. The team in Cleveland are not the real Browns. The NFL can claim it’s the same team all they want, but it doesn’t change the fact that the real Browns moved and the new team are imposters.

He would, however, falsely assume that ALL Canadians are white. Colin, is that you?
