Yes, because the Patriots would have had to come up with a more intricate defense than one used by junior flag football teams.

Yes.

Can you show me where the Saints injured more players under Gregg Williams?  Or the increase in personal fouls?  I’ll wait for you.  Gregg is a complete moron, but “bountygate” is a figment of Goodell’s imagination. 

A compelling argument. A not-entirely-wrong argument, sure. It’s got some merit.

Seems like it would have been smarter to just use the remote.

Besides the fact that the luxury tax is just going back to the league, which benefits no players or fans.

This is dumb. The argument is basically, “Billionaire owners suck. Who cares if they have to spend their money on the luxury tax.”

I’m not 100% sure breaking up the Warriors wouldn’t be a positive development for the NBA though. 

No owner wants to pay tax for a team that is not going anywhere. Especially since every year the team is over the line the tax increases.

I mean, being under the luxury tax does make some trades easier and opens up more exception-type contracts but yeah, the luxury tax should really not exist. It’s the reason that the Thunder traded away James Harden and why the Warriors probably won’t be together much longer. It exists only to suppress salaries and…

Didn’t we go through this with Beanie Babies like 25 years ago? My dad made thousands of dollars on eBay reselling those things over the course of a few years to supplement his income (under the table of course) while my parents went through divorce.  He had no interest in those damned toys other than the dollars he…

Because though the article is fantastic, it could be said about literally everything right now?

This. “Sneaker culture” is nothing but commodity fetishism and no one should mourn it.

So “sneaker culture” is basically Beanie Babies for grown men.

I guess I’d draw the distinction between whether something frequently involves corporations and exploitation, or requires it. Consumerism is all over American society, no doubt, but sneaker collecting stands out because it’s not like there are people hand-making their own shoes for the art of it.

Is this a joke?

Where’s hot take artist Chris Thompson, who just three weeks ago was insinuating Bruce Arians was racist for saying Antonio Brown had off the field issues?

Nice job going way the fuck out of your way to trash the cop who filed the supplemental report.

I’m having a really hard time with the use of the word “culture” around a hobby rooted in an industry that has always been about multi-billion dollar corporations charging hundreds of dollars for something that cost a couple bucks for people who are essentially slave labor to put together in an overseas sweatshop.
