Motherfucking internet lawyer.

If your statement were a stat sheet it would be 0 and 2...1. the statement is not hearsay if presented by the child in court...2. even if not presented by the child it would not be excluded under the best evidence rule...the rule is one of exclusion not inclusion. Good try at throwing around big words though...

Sooo, you don’t understand hearsay do you? He witnessed these things. That makes him a witness.

We cap on Simmons a lot around here, but one thing this whole mess does is put what he’s done at Grantland in perspective. I’m not much of a fan of his, but that’s a site that’s running a lot of really, really good stuff, and the worst thing anyone over there will say about Simmons is that they weren’t all that big on…

Hands down, my favorite part of this is knowing Greg’s last Whitlock piece turned ol’ Jase into a 9/11 truther.

“Eat on Monday what everyone forgot they put in the fridge on Friday.”

Not for nothing, but this was seconds before the injury. I’m not saying Olynyk’s play was good, but it backs up his claim that guys lock arms all the time in the NBA.

Yeah, he was intentionally holding onto his arm in an attempt to keep Love away from the ball. Which is clearly a foul. But saying he intentionally injured the guy is a different thing from saying he intentionally clutched onto his arm, which is something that happens all the time in basketball. Also, a still frame…

I don’t see how he tried to intentionally dislocate his shoulder. They’re both going for the ball and Love actually initiated the contact. It’s unfortunate and flukey but does not look intentional.

I understand being frustrated about suffering an injury, or having your teammate suffer an injury, but it absurd to suggest that Olynyk ripped the guy’s arm out of the socket on purpose. It sucks to get hurt, but it happens. Don’t be a child about it.

Good for him. And Hardy better resign himself to hearing that from every offensive lineman on every play until he leaves the league.

And yet somehow *I* was the mediawhore/distraction.

In retrospect, football was sort of a thing he fell ass-backwards into for a while despite being an irredeemable turd. The most interesting aspect of this case isn’t that a football player was just convicted of murder, but that a murderer actually managed to have a short pro football career.

Meh, I don’t really even have a witty comment to make. Probably the only thing that comes to mind is good riddance, and what an absolute moron. He threw away his entire life for nothing. All of the money he stood to make from football is gone. All of the potential on-field success and accolades are no more. Most…

so does this mean he was not good at murdering?

Deep down you just know when he cooked this idea up before the game he was thinking, “And then the people in my section will rise up and join me. Then the people in adjacent sections. Then the whole tier. Then the whole stadium! It will be a movement and I will be its leader and IT.WILL. BE.GLORIOUS!”

Let’s not forget Brady Anderson, owner of the single most suspicious season in baseball history (‘96)

He stood up, bravely and proudly, in front of a stadium full of people, and with one small act declared: “This is why the rest of the country hates East Coasters.”
