What it means is: “I absolutely heard him say it so I can’t outright say that he didn’t say it, because even though I’d be prepared to lie about it I am aware that others will not. However, it would be impossible for anyone else to prove that I *remember* hearing him say it, so I’m going to choose to say I don’t…

Shakespeare nailed this one. Macbeth, Act 3 Scene 4:

What you’re saying is that members of Congress have no constitutional responsibilities other than to represent the will of their constituents as determined by the vote that delivered each of them their position (and presumably any subsequent information they may or may not receive about how that constituent will may…

I 100% agree with you that the article is pretty dumb. There’s a *very* thin point being made about financial exclusion of disadvantaged people who exist entirely in the cash economy but I wholeheartedly concur that the piece as presented is pretty weak gruel as an act of #resistance.

I am honestly fascinated at how minds like yours work. Card only transactions, pah-dum pah-dum something something socialism never works? Is there just a whole bunch of pulleys and wires in your head that shovel every conceivable input into the tube marked “duh stupid lefties”?

Fortunately, as one of the most knowing sports media consumers out there, you didn’t lower yourself to reading.

I’m also impressed at how he manages to be both a Ball and a dick.

But it’s only collusion if they’ve discussed it and are implementing it as a strategy. Sometimes people come to independent conclusions that benefit them collectively. If no-one goes to a bar because its drinks are too expensive that doesn’t necessarily mean the public is colluding against the bar, but it might still…

That’s a pretty flagrant attempt to attract the new Google campus up in the North West corner there, too.

The point was: “why does everyone shit on Brady when Manning got a pass?”

Unfortunately for him, his base is Trump’s base - and it has decided to pick Trump over him. Not sure who he could credibly claim to represent now unless/until the Trump administration collapses in flames or the base turns on it.

“Every city’s pretty darn good” - Paul Maurice

Also fake news because Carlson 100% pulled Miller off once they were finished talking. All part of the service.

I don’t recall Deadspin being all aboard the Peyton train, TBF. Saying “everyone” gave Manning a pass as a specific criticism of Deadspin shitting on Brady is a bit weak, given Deadspin shat on Manning too.

That’s not the point, though. The concussion protocol is designed to save players’ lives. If it means that very occasionally a team loses a star player who isn’t actually concussed that’s a shame, but it’s also a price worth paying.

There can hardly be a more serious infraction than abusing protocols designed to protect player safety - literally, to save players’ lives - for a tiny incremental in-game advantage.

LaVar Ball texting Darren Rovell about brand value is not only newsworthy but also meta newsworthy. This is 2018. We made this.

How about this one?

Of course marijuana took your job. After all, you can’t make marijuana without Juan and Maria.

Aw c’mon, man. Just enjoy one, hey?
