Totally agree. It was such a bullshit move & he absolutely knew what he was doing. Vermette’s slash was nowhere near as brutal as Wideman’s hit, but they really need to bring the hammer down hard on these idiots. Except Dean Morton who can ROT IN HELL AS FAR AS I’M- sorry, sorry. Ignore.

Lots of brain farts lately. Minimum 10 games. I don’t know it’ll make to 2o games like Wideman, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Yeah, bloody fist fights are fine (arguable) but with each other. You DON’T touch the refs. Even if they call a ridiculous penalty shot against your team when HOLY SHIT HOW WAS THAT EVEN CLOSE…

As a 40-year-old straight, white dude, you also could qualify as one of the dozens of people who write all her music.

Your fault for misremembering what month José Fernández died, but not your fault for calling me a “vapid cunt” because you thought I’d misremembered and hadn’t checked your facts? Just checking—I wouldn’t want to misremember, since you deleted your original comment!

couldn’t pass up an opportunity to poor some salt in the wound.

Medical records are like anything else? Not at all. I work at a hospital and it is a MAJOR offense and it’s obvious why if you are in the environment on a daily basis. You are actually advocating “weighing” a person’s right to privacy (especially in regards to their health) against the public’s thirst for gossip?…

If you don’t understand the difference between reporting on a public figure’s medical condition and printing a copy of their medical records, I think you’re the one who is nonsensical.

Is there a case in which you are not scummy for publishing someone’s medical records without their consent? Genuinely curious if you had something in mind (especially with the phrase “obviously”). I realize journalism involves revealing information that was intended to be private, but is your stance that healthcare…

I see I have been banished to the greys across Deadspin for daring to have my own opinion on this issue. Thanks, Kevin.

As someone who is a healthcare professional, if you publish someone’s medical records, you are scum breaking the law.

YOU NAILED IT!!

Thank you for this, Nick. I really mean that. I wondered last night if I was overreacting, oversimplifying or imagining that State sure as fuck will ball up its fist for Duke and UNC, or any ranked team, and then shit the bed against everyone else the next day. They’ve been doing it ever since the Les Robinson years.…

Conservatives: “We hate blacks, Muslims, women, the poor, unions, GLBT, and basically anyone who doesn’t fit into into our vision of what America should be.

The problem really is the large majority of college football consumers, especially consumers of big, southern football schools, don’t give a fuck about the rapes. These people don’t care about anything that doesn’t affect them or their families directly. I guarantee you they’re thinking no “proper” girls are going to…

Melo’s contract is the same one that Phil Jackson gave him (with a no trade clause! only him, LBJ and Dirk have them).

Three-way trade:

From the Coloradoan report I linked to:

Kidnapping usually means abduction, i.e. taking somebody from one place to another, false imprisonment can be as simple as preventing somebody from freely exiting a room they were in.
