My guess? It was either give it up now or lose it, in a loud, ugly court proceeding, soon. You can’t have the fuckups the NFL has and not have at least one Congresscritter or Senator sniffing around your offices.

I think we’re going to see two trends in the near future:

Actually I think it’s going to be the reverse: States that ban same-sex marriage have to acknowledge marriages done out of state, but they can ban same-sex marriage themselves. It would be in keeping with how they’ve handled the issue, and it would essentially make marriage equality the law of the land without…

I was going to say, the best we’ll do is 8-1, because of Clarence Thomas.

So in other words Verizon’s going to put their contract with ESPN out in public and mire them in shit with everyone else? That’s evil enough I almost admire it.

GOOD. Part of the reason I ditched cable years ago was that I was sick of paying a tax to the Red Sox for the privilege of watching cable TV in the Boston metro area.

I think we can both agree that anybody who decides to do a left-hand pass on the median was going to get into a wreck no matter how many safety features were on that Camaro.

Stability control does not make people smarter.

They have been. In fact, Amazon has a fanfic sales program, and basically Kindle is the Wild West anyway. Google “Wesley Crusher, Teenage Fuck Machine” if you don’t believe me.

I would not lie, I would play the shit out of those games.

Well, you theoretically regain health from enemies by attacking them and being sprayed with their blood. So maybe menses is just the most potent form of blood?

I don’t think she’s a bad parent for taking a kid to a concert, but to be honest, some of my worst, most scary experiences as a kid were being around crowds of shitfaced strangers. To be totally honest, I actually think they shouldn’t be allowed to serve as sports events.

Did you play it? It’s quite good! I wish there was more of it, but it’s a well-tuned game and it’s got some great fights. It basically got an unfair amount of shit for being short.

I like how you immediately assume I’m on the father’s side here, despite the fact that I note he’s in the wrong in my comment.

I use a Tekton 2-in-1, “sport knife” on one side and utility knife on the other. It’s a pretty useful around-the-house sharp object.

I mean, maybe it’s not spectacular parenting, but it’s not “take your kids away” parenting.

Infamous Second Son? The Order 1886? Disgaea 5?

Man, I remember when the Wizard sucked so hard, my dad got free courtside tickets because they were raffled off at work and nobody wanted them.

“It’s a far less likely outcome than the robber simply taking the money in the register or leaving empty-handed.”

While that’s not impossible, keep in mind you’re trying to argue that people who are either extremely sick, mentally ill, or straight-up stupid can logically think through actions and consequences, and will…
