“But rather than letting perfect be the enemy of good, let’s acknowledge that this is at least a step in the right direction.”

It is almost unfathomable that this many people were aware that a player/players were sodomized and abused by other players and not one of them thought it a good idea to kick these kids off the team at the very least, not to mention reporting it to authorities. Were they just sitting there hoping that the victims…

Here is Vontaze Burfict intentionally trying to break/injure Cam Newton’s ankle, after the whistle while on the ground. This guy deserves none of your explanations:

Had not seen that Maxx Williams hit until today. Dude is trying to injure people! Purposefully putting the crown of your helmet into the chin of a player away from the play is a whole different level of reckless. Launch his ass from the league.

Seriously? Has Russell Wilson’s faith ever hurt anyone? I mean, if that’s going to be your criteria for deciding who to root for, I think the choice between a guy who beats a child and a guy who is a little too pious is pretty easy...

“LACES OUT!!!”

Yeah, it’s a bit unbecoming.

Kobe Bryant: Joined the NBA in 1996 and has won 5 championships. yay. Additionally, his inability to work with other team members is well documented. He’s also been accused of rape (which he settled in civil court) and made a rap album.

Lakers are making beer out of lemons.

They should have just killed two birds with one stone on that call. “Hey Lovie... you’re fired, sorry about that. Now, we’d like to quickly do a 20 minute phone screener for our newly opened Head Coaching position.”

And the larger question is who really expects any kind of journalistic ethics from ESPN? Mortensen and Shefter are not “personalities”, they’re reporters, just as every person doing their kind of thing has always been called a reporter.

I meant the tweet. The headline seemed in earnest.

As well, forgot to mention it in this tweet:

Take that, guy who was only one of the 3 or 4 best catchers ever!

HOT TAEK ALERT

Also, he bought the team for $750 million in 2010. and it is valued at $1.45 billion. He nearly doubled his value in 5 years, and the team has not even been good!

And it’s a convenient misapplication of facts! The CITY of St Louis is in the shit, and had been for a long time. The population and economic weight of the area, however, resides outside the city - in places like Clayton, U City, Ladue, Creve Coeur, and others. Does anyone genuinely think that Cardinals games are sold…

You can practically hear him muttering “Go fuck yourself, John” under his breath there.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

I saw a wine-o eating grapes, I was like, “Dude, you have to wait”

Boy, I sure do miss Mitch Hedberg
