We still have “which it to say” in the 3rd paragraph. 

By all accounts Kawhi is cheap af. There are tons of stories about him being frugal (for example he drove a POS pick up truck for years while being a multi-millionaire) and he has left literally $100 million on the table by this point in his career (by forcing his way out of San Antonio and then declining the…

The Irish border issue actually seems like an easy one to solve, it’s just that the Tories aren’t willing to pay the political price. Keep the Ireland / Northern Ireland border as it is and put a hard border between the entire island of Ireland and the UK (not a physical border obviously but customs checkpoints, etc.,)…

“Fully Guaranteed” in an NFL contract actually has a really specific meaning: if you get injured, play like shit, or get cut to clear cap space you still get paid. Those are the three guarantees that make up a “fully guaranteed” contract.

I guess you didn’t read it either as here’s how you yourself summed it up:

I suppose you’re right, he’s more accurately saying “there’s no off-field behavior you don’t look the other way on so long as he suits up for games and puts up good numbers.” The old “if you’re a star they let you do it” argument.

It’s funny that you quote Trump as I immediately thought of Trump’s “I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave. and not lose voters” quote when reading the article.  Sure, cut AB some slack but there’s got to be a line somewhere.

I think the question is really “should there be a limit to the amount of leeway star players get?”. No one is going to argue that stars shouldn’t get more leeway than some scrub but Farris is essentially arguing that if you want a player of AB’s caliber there’s literally nothing you don’t look the other way on. If AB…

God anything to refresh the Bond franchise is welcome at this point. I get that they wanted to get away from the tongue-in-cheek style that’s defined the franchise since the 60's but these Daniel Craig movies are so fucking bland. When you take away all the Bond tropes (ie., gadgets, spycraft, suave dry humour) there’…

In the NFL “fully guaranteed” doesn’t mean what you think it does, it means that the money is guaranteed against three specific things: skill, injury, and salary cap. Injury is obvious, skill means that if a player declines and the team wants to put another player in their spot they still get paid, and cap is…

Yeah this, I don’t get why I’m reading an impassioned defence of something that needs to be covered in what appears to be two giant handfulls of shitty processed orange cheese to be edible.

Corbyn is like the British version of Bernie Sanders. He’s an iconoclast and is fairly divisive within both his party and the their core base and it’s been hard for him to get broad support for that reason. Brexit is also a terrible issue for him personally as he’s spent his entire career railing against the EU and…

I think you need to take calories into account here.

I think the question had some merit; it was basically “Are specials always advertising bullshit or do they sometimes have merit?” and Salty’s answer was “of course it’s always advertising you moron” which I don’t really agree with. Several commenters did a way better job at answering the question than Salty did.

I was going to say, ScarJo just doesn’t give a fuck.  Whitewashing an Asian character?  Sure, sign me up!  Working with a suspected pedophile?  Hey, until that shit gets proven in a court of law he’s ok with me!  Is she going to collaborate with R. Kelly next?  Let’s wait and see!

This is why I’m always against calls to shorten men’s matches to best of 3 from best of 5.  Maybe an injured Fed can pull it together to bulldoze over a opponent for two sets but it’s much harder to do that for 3 1/2 hours.

>I figure if you are dumb enough to take a lousy job, that’s on you.

>Uber/Lyft have greatly improved transportation around these parts.

I’m still using a SE which at this point is *very* dated. If they don’t announce a new one this year I’m going to bite the bullet and upgrade but it sucks having to move to a worse user experience just because every phone manufacturer has decided that everyone wants giant phones you can’t use one-handed.

Yeah this, people think that its merit based but it’s really not. You have to have made a “material contribution to radio, tv, film, music, or theatre”, pay $40k, and agree to show up at the ceremony. Most stars don’t pay the $40k themselves, usually they have a fan club that raises the money for them, but they still…
