Big issue with that is there are a lot of abusers who aren’t in Trumps camp. This whole sexual assault uncovering isn’t a partisan issue; it’s there in both camps, even with people who backed Hilary. Framing it this way makes it harder for someone to come forward on that side of the aisle.

I really hate how biased this site gets some times. This attack is just too much and I’m really sick of it. Could you once, just freaking once, be unbiased?

No one can tell if he’s good enough to be a backup. Guys have to be given time to adjust their games and Okafor has never been a backup. There’s a massive adjustment in how you play when you come off the bench and not once in his career, from the time he started playing, has Okafor had to do that. Until he gets a

Almost penned a long post. Glad I read the whole way first. Yeah, I’m open to talking about my time in charlotte. I will probably respond faster on twitter but probably more detail on email so whichever one you prefer.

I intitally hoped this was a shot at church as an organization run by corrupt and inept individuals and not at church as in the teachings and spirituality but your other posts show that’s not the case.

Oh I know. I even said a lot will ignore it. But you know how good teams always have those Vets that don’t do a ton but everyone talks about how much they help out and help the younger guys (KG in his 2nd minnesota run)? Or the vets at the end of careers who are ring hunting (ie David West, PJ Brown in ‘08)? or even

Oh I know the cap super well but Embiid’s deal doesn’t hit until next year, I believe? So it hasn’t been a factor yet. I mean once all 3 or 4 extensions hit (Fultz, Embiid, Simmons, Covington). But don’t forget JJ is on a one year deal and he is CRUCIAL to what they do. They either have to resign him for less money,

He had two years to prove his worth. He didn’t show he was lousy, all he showed was that Simmons and Embiid were better and he doesn’t fit with them. It’s not his fault he landed as a placeholder to two potential hall of famers If They Stay Healthy. It’s bad luck his game doesn’t fit with them at all. Philly then

Look, I agree with most of what you said. He isn’t close to the level of their top guys. I even can see the argument that Amir brings enough defensively to warrant competing minutes based on the game. Okafor’s style doesn’t really fit what they do, especially with Simmons is in the game (lack of shooting too much to

Eschewing vets in favor of young talent is ENTIRELY different that burying a player on the bench who has the talent to play but doesn’t play.

Him not playing means he can’t prove he deserves a future contract so he asked for a buyout. He is literally asking to give up some of his first round salary money to go somewhere he can play. That is what a buyout is. The 76ers are actively preventing him from showcasing his ability. No doubt he’s not as good as

I promise you a lot of those people on the sideline are 1) student assistants/managers (it’s the only way to get into coaching without playing) 2) graduate assistants trying to get into coaching and 3) athletic training students. Most are not paid.

Cracker and NWord are NOT comparable terms. Let me start there. However, cracker is still used in the south. I’ve lived in GA, SC, NC, and TX as well spent a lot of time in TN and LA. It gets used. My girlfriend even had a bunch of saltines pushed in her window and under her wipers at one point last year (she was the

I don’t always agree with Chance but he’s so educated about what’s going on that it’s hard not to respect him. Like, to me, it read as he wasn’t against more training or even a facility. He just didn’t want to tie money up buying land for no reason when they lack the funds to build or staff it. I fully support that

It didn’t look like Chance was fully against more training....he was against buying the land when the rest of the money to build and staff it hasn’t been secured.

Yes, let’s continue to keep them from cashing in on very limited athletic careers for a year or force them to make a huge drastic change and accept going to a foreign country, where they won’t know the language, where clubs don’t always pay the salary they are supposed to, where they may totally derail that career or

People thought he was a plucky, humble underdog because..... he actually was a plucky, humble* underdog once upon a time.

They’re in mid-season form? I’ll take a stab at this, complete with guesses as to who is who

Excuse you. Captain America spent an entire movie talking about people’s right to privacy and not murdering people who have yet to actually do anything wrong. Thor spent 2 with a 3rd loving a brother who turned out to be an entirely different race. New Spider-Man spent a movie longing after a girl who of a mixed

I worked with Stephen Jackson for a while. Fun Fact: He’s actually a pretty good guy, for the most part. He was nice and polite to everyone in Charlotte that I saw for 3 months. Every time he met someone, he started off nice.
