When I clicked the video the pre-roll ad was for an upcoming UFC bout, so this isn’t too far from the truth.

Fair point on de Ligt - United obviously were interested and he had zero interest in going to them, but the rest of this is nonsense. There were never any credible reports that United were interested in Neymar or Pepe, and they absolutely have the financial wherewithal to pay Dybala whatever he wants if they wanted…

Always glad to see another man so disgustingly sweaty that he he can get pit stains on a suit jacket. Ed I feel your pain - you should talk to my doctor about the prescription-strength stuff he gives me.

It took me a second to notice the jersey numbers in the header and realize that you guys had not just edited two pictures of Eli Manning together for some reason.

For one thing, the $1 billion number is pretty obviously facetious. For another, the women’s league is owned and operated by the US Soccer Federation, which also owns and operates the US Women’s National Team, so it makes perfect sense to link their fortunes. For yet another thing, upfront investments can pay off in…

Samer I appreciate the sentiment but I don’t think the Giants actually do have all the pieces to make a run this year.

Give me Marvel’s 90s cartoons or give me death.

Being a field organizer is so grueling - I did it on a number of campaigns for 3 years after college and then had to move to a different career track because I was so burnt out. On the one campaign that I was fired from (I was burnt out and doing my best work, and also just wasn’t a good fit for that race) my boss sat…

Yeah there isn’t though. If a boss is being creepy to his female subordinates (e.g. inappropriate comments, leering at them, putting them in inappropriate situations) that’s a problem that inflicts emotional distress on women and can potentially stunt their careers. What on earth does due process look like in that…

Tampering is such a dumb rule. I can see why you’d want certain guard rails up to prevent like, your opponent in a playoff series publicly offering you a max contract the morning of the decisive game in the series, but in most careers you’re allowed to negotiate for a new job before you’ve formally left your old one,…

Ok, please define for me what due process is in cases where a public figure is accused of non-criminal abusive behavior. Who are the specially trained experts who examine the evidence? Who is the judge that makes sure all parties have access to the same information and sets the ground rules? If a party is unhappy with…

That’s not remotely what I said. I’ll break it down for you: Al Franken was accused of behaving in a way that, while not rising to the level of a crime, was demeaning and inappropriate.

I’m so sick of people invoking “due process” when talking about #metoo. Due process is a legal term. It has a specific meaning. There is no such thing as “due process” for someone who has been accused of sexual misconduct but is not being charged with a crime - they either face consequences or they don’t, largely…

I guess good for Voit for trying to stay in the game - if I were one of these guys I would have taken literally any excuse to take an early shower and get out of this fucking heat.

A well-run campaign should have clear, achievable goals (and stretch goals) with lots of on-the-job training to help new organizers get up to speed quickly. This group pretty clearly didn’t have that. However, the seven days a week, 12 hours a day schedule is not at all unique to this guy’s vanity project - it’s…

Roger Goodell is a feckless stooge, but DeMaurice Smith is the worst players’ association president of any of the major professional sports, so it’s kind of useless morons all the way down. 

Fuck that guy. A little kid who catches a home run is going to bring it to school for show and tell, keep it on his dresser for years, and have a happy memory that will last a lifetime. A grown-ass man will do what with it? Brag to his bros about it for like two days? 

How much do we think he gets paid for shit like that? I mean, I’d probably tweet it for like $25, but I also am not a rich guy with millions of twitter followers. 

But that’s literally what people’s problem with the Peck article is? Peck decided that because Buttigieg is a corporate Dem who didn’t emerge from a culture of radical queer activism it’s fair game to belittle his homosexuality and his lifestyle. 

Yeah, Nadal will go down as one of the greats but I don’t think he can be in the conversation for GOAT given how disproportionate the source of his wins has been.
