Why argue the position that the NFL’s current rules are the way they are and that’s that? That’s not worth arguing about. Instead, we are discussing what the NFL should do, morally and/or ethically. There is at least discussion to be had about how and in what forms they could allow cannabis or other alternatives, and…

A more apt analogy would be if your job required you to work incredibly long hours and stay very alert, but forbade you to drink coffee while at the same time handing you copious amounts of amphetamines to deal with that staying awake issue. Kinda ridiculous isn’t it?

This is also why many people defend team owners over athletes in contract disputes. They know, deep down, they will never be able to be in the player’s position, but, if they work hard enough, they could become a billionaire and own a team in the future!

This is the same argument for people who argue in favor of management over labor. Theoretically, only a tiny, fraction of a percent of people should be making those arguments, yet, anecdotally, it is an alarmingly large percentage.

It’s so jarring when people misuse less/fewer, and it’s always saying less instead of fewer.

For the short period of time Smith was on TV, he often garbled words as well as made completely ridiculous claims. Sort of like an even dumber Phil Seeems. The joke here is Smith confusing “Syria” with “Ciara.”

I wonder what would happen if the States decided to override all branches of the Federal Government. Sure, they can write a new constitution, but who would execute those orders? Why would Congress and the president, with all of their various bureaucracies beneath them, capitulate to these States. At least 50% of the…

The republican voters are by and large brainwashed by Fox News. The only way they make a stink about Trump (whom they adore because he can say anything and get away with it — their greatest dream) is if Fox News turns on Trump. The only way Fox News turns on Trump is if a large section of GOP congressmen turned OR a…

The real problem is Trump is still insanely popular with his base and with most of the less educated republicans. This is exacerbated by Fox News being the media arm of the GOP. The congress critters won’t start impeachment proceedings unless they have support from their base, but their base is being fed an…

Let’s start a new game, Punch, Kick, Backhand in the spirit of Fuck, Marry, Kill.

My favorite bit of irony is when they clutch the confederate flag while claiming to be the party of Lincoln.

I hate this take because I’m a Pats fan, but I was watching a Moss highlight reel from his Patriots days and a surprising number of throws in the video were from Cassel. He had the best tools at his disposal and he failed to make the playoffs.

Wait, isn’t his first name Kevin-Prince?

The problem with Trump voters (the poorer ones, not the evil rich pricks) is they are largely “brainwashed” by the false, misleading information they consume. You’re correct that they truly believe in their plight and the reasons behind it, even though we non-Trumpers “know” they are being deceived by their richer…

I think this was worse. Cavani’s goal was like if the Falcons didn’t fuck up and kicked a field goal with 4:00 to go in the fourth quarter. Needing three goals in 30 minutes is equivalent to needing 11 points with 4:00 remaining.

I was making a self-deprecating joke mostly, since I am obviously a Red Sox fan, but to your point, Barcelona is one of the most popular teams in the world and the majority of its fans are non-Catalan. When you have a fan base as big as they do, there invariably will be some douchebags involved, so I don’t think I…

Nah, Real Madrid are the Yankees. Barcelona are like the Red Sox, spends just as much money, has just as many douchey fans, but are juuuuuuuust a little bit more likable.

They are discovering being against something is far easier than being for another thing.

Eh, again, it’s too conspiracy theory-ey for me. The words you use to describe Perez makes him sound like a prop being used by some corporatist scheme (“they needed to float”). Like, he’s a human being with his own thoughts about how his party’s committee should be run? Both him and Ellison thought they could serve…

Because the people who voted for Perez believe he can do a better job? I mean the vote was 235-200, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
