As a native Bostonian, I’ve tried to stay out of this whole Adam Jones thing, least of all because it’s incredibly stupid.

I thought this was weird when I first heard about it, because I’ve been to dozens of games at Fenway and it’s _extremely_ rare to see anything but white people. It makes more sense that it was between two white guys in the stands.

None of this made sense on first read. Then I went back and realized I’d missed the line about Liberia, and that the subject of the story is black. It suddenly sounded like a much more plausible story of police misconduct.

I kind of agree with Felger, at least as this applies to major league baseball players. Normal people with 9-to-5 jobs need paternity leave. Highly compensated pro ballplayers—especially starting pitchers, who only work 30-40 days a year to begin with—don’t need a week of paid leave.

Presumably you get the experience of running in the race, which I assume is the main selling point for most people. If that’s not something you enjoy, why bother?

Okami.

It’s not just the Lotus. All three blue cards in the bottom row are also part of Magic’s “power nine” and are worth hundreds of dollars apiece.

I loaded up on stamina orbs early in the game, and don’t regret it at all. You can always make hearty food for the few occasions when you actually _need_ a big health bar.

I have a really hard time believing that the skills needed to be a good GM have anything to do with the skills needed to be an NHL player. I don’t trust the Neely/Sweeney regime; I’d much prefer a sunlight-averse nerd.

Give me a break. For this to be true, the Patriots would have to be brilliant spies, and also stupid enough to keep a closetful of smoking guns sitting at team headquarters.

This is an idiotic take. The measurements taken at that game—along with basic laws of physics—support the conclusion that nothing was done to the balls. That “deflator” text was from seven months prior, in the middle of May. The NFL leaked false numbers the day after the game and declined to roll them back for months.…

I mean, what do you expect? Try to taint the legacy of one of the best franchises in the game with unfounded accusations of cheating the day after their (arguably) crowning achievement. The author of the article we’re posting under is on record acknowledging that Deflategate was horseshit.

I call BS. There is way too much bread and not nearly enough beef in the traditional Big Mac. I’m not sure they solved that in the new version once you account for the bigger roll, but there’s plenty of room for improvement over the original.

This implies that Brady has a position on Donald Trump’s politics. I think he’s too busy playing fetch catch, banging supermodels, watching film and avoiding tomatoes to have paid much attention. He knows the guy’s been nice to him over the years, and that there’s lots of noise on both sides. He probably is also…

No fucking chance. We love our sports heroes around here, to be sure. And it’s even hard for me to completely hate the guy, despite everything that’s come out of his mouth over the last ten years. But he’ll never hold statewide office in Massachusetts. I’d bet any amount of money on that. (Especially if that money was…

That is like the literal definition of bitching

They missed some really obvious ones, though. I forget which game it was (either the NE game or the GB one, I think), but one receiver had his shoulder pad pulled out of his jersey this weekend on one play where he was targeted and it still wasn’t called. When it obviously and directly affects the outcome of a play,…

To be fair, the refs did miss a bunch of holding calls committed by Pittsburgh on other Chiefs plays.

I lawyer! Come up to room, for drink. Nude be me.

He’s popular. They really aren’t. As long as that’s true, they’ll keep him around. But they certainly have enough ammunition to impeach him a dozen times over.
