Read the comment. Continuing after being put out by itself is not hindering. So if he is just continuing then he is fine (otherwise every take-out slide at second base would be an automatic out), if he is doing more than simply continuing (i.e. intentionally blocking the ball) it is hindering because he would not…

But the argument is that he intentionally hit the ball with his arm in the slide which is not allowed. I'm not saying he should have been called out, but if the umpire determined that he hit the ball with his arm intentionally the batter would be out, double play.

I think you are reading too much into the phrasing of "he got screwed." It is just shorthand for "he got less money than a person in his situation would normally get." Like I said, I don't think anyone is going to start a gofundme to make up the difference.

I don't think anyone is suggesting we pass the hat for him, just that there is a good chance he will finish his career with less money than he could have under other circumstances. Not really sure what point you think you are making.

I don't really agree with your conclusion, but you are unquestionably correct about one thing: if some random dude that was her size (she ain't small) called RR the n-word and he knocked him out the vast majority of people would either be satisfied with 2-games or think it was too strict. Sure as the sky is blue. …

I don't read this as sarcasm.

Again you are really hung up on my sexual activities. Seek help.

Yes, that is exactly what I said. But really this isn't a "sucks to be the NCAA" situation unless you mean "sucks to be completely unaccountable and make tons of money." In which case, it always sucks to be the NCAA.

Also it appears that Gordon also picked up a DUI this summer. So there is that.

Yeah, I'm just saying that when you are seeing great progress happen it seems out of place to harp on the lingering problems. Not saying you are wrong, just why focus on that when it appears Sam is getting his fair shot.

Ok, so I got it. My friends and I just call that ESPN. Like if someone says that shit, we will just do the "duh-na-na-duh-na-na" and have a good laugh. Will have to incorporate that word too.

I've seen that comment a lot. The NFL just drafted its first openly gay player and it looks like it is going pretty well. I'm not sure that particular snark makes any sense. Tony Dungy doesn't speak for the NFL.

The real problem there was the NCAA not suspending Pryor for the Bowl Game based on a promise he would return to school to serve a suspension. Also Pryor is about as useful suspended as he is on the field.

I don't know what a Hotaker is, but based on context I'm guessing discipline, grit, hard-working and attitude should be in there too.

Are you 14 years old? Be honest. Because you come off like a person who has started hearing about sex and maybe gotten a handy or two, but you still have a huge fear of sexuality which is manifesting in repeatedly commenting on a stranger's supposed virility. Summer vacation is almost over. Get outside and make…

She continues to embrace her fame. I have all the sympathy in the world for people who can't avoid the public eye (or for anonymous people put on blast by websites like Gawker), but don't bitch when all the attention you have been seeking isn't in the form of fawning over you.

Yeah because it is really normal and not compensating at all to continue to talk up how great you are on the internet.

First of all, she isn't. But that is not important for our discussion here. The point is that if neither Justice Roberts nor North West had any influence outside the United States, the one that had more influence inside the United States would have more influence in the world...because the United States is part of…

So you are comfortable dodging the question? I also think you are wrong, but that is irrelevant because as it turns out the United States exists and it is possible to have influence there.

That is marketability, not influence. North West on the cover of a magazine would sell more issues than Justice Roberts. Who is more influential?
