This is excellent. As you note - having lots of high draft picks doesn’t automatically = good team in the future.

Yes. Like it really takes 8 people to make the same point. And I’ve responded a few times stating I used mirrors, helmet and ride on almost exclusively side roads. I realize it’s an added risk, but I’m not riding through Times Square...

Because Ken Holland is a fucking jackass...

Yeah. I’m not surprised by the flack I’m catching. I noted in another response I use rearview mirrors and I live in a suburb where I can ride on almost exclusively side streets. I wouldn’t use headphones if I was riding in a densely populated downtown area. I understand it comes with risks, but I most of the time I…

Exactly. I am catching a lot of flack for this recommendation (understandably so). I guess I should have specified that I’m not riding my bike in Manhattan (or any other densely populated urban area). I am lucky enough to live in an area where most of my routes are along side streets. And as I noted in another…

I agree. Which is why I’ve also equipped my bike with nerdy looking rearview mirrors, and wear bright colors when I ride. I also generally stay on side streets, unless it can’t be avoided.

This MAY have been addressed, but I didn’t see it pop in any of the subheadings in my rush down here: a killer soundtrack also helps keep the energy up. I’m kind of a disco biscuit myself, so long house/techno/trance mixes are my go to.

Anyone over the age of 12 that begs players for a baseball is an asshole...

Right? What was there to misunderstand? The guy fucking straight up said he didn’t want more than two black players on the team...

Exactly. And you shouldn’t. As many have noted, this is just so the NCAA can maintain its imaginary moral high ground...

I think you’ve summed up the Lions recent history about as well as anyone.

I submit to you, my beloved, Detroit Goddamned Lions.

Or it’s called not being a fucking idiot. Even if it looks like he’s covering his ass, he was smart to stop him and report it to the proper department.

By your logic, why not let Lebron James compete in HS basketball? He’s more gifted and a grown ass man, but so what? These kids gotta learn that losing is a part of life...

This is a great point. My wife actually went to college on a track scholarship. While she was very good, it’s hard to say how she would have done against transgender runners - even ones with suppressed testosterone. Like you said, many girls will probably just say fuck it, and try something else... This is a messy…

Losing is a part of life. There’s no denying that. But denying biological make up in this case is silly. Specifically, the issue of how much testosterone is naturally in the competitors’ body. As the article notes, when it comes to athletics - more testosterone is an advantage. That’s why I think the testosterone…

As Sarah notes, this is a tricky issue. As far as where transgender people want to take a piss, that’s really their business - use whatever restroom you’re comfortable in. However, this kind of thing affects other people. The biological girls that got their asses kicked in these races have a legitimate gripe, in my,…

The property owner’s generally insure their properties. They would get money for the damage to the structure. The renter’s insurance would cover the renter’s personal property. This isn’t that complicated...

There’s renter’s insurance for personal property. It’s usually pretty cheap.
