Also overlooked in this mess is the fact that if one Colts player can touch the ball and realize that it's underinflated, then there's no way that Tom Brady could have used them all game and not known they were underinflated. He has no plausible deniability.

This also applies to Wall Street crimes.

True, but sometimes it's worth squeezing one just the same.

Yay. More nominations for Wes Anderson and his twee character studies that go nowhere.

David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,

You sound super duper extra-special fun!

I'd just be satisfied if they had to pay back the cost to the taxpayers.

Next, you decide what the secondary story is, and try to keep as much of that in while not…

I thought I was the only one that hated Uncharted. I'M NOT ALONE!!!
