Because it took them 13 months to even bring charges, largely because the department was trying to bury the case, including trying to get this video sealed away from public view.

Here’s the funny thing about Cam Newton, who has so far led the Carolina Panthers to a 8-1 record: his numbers aren’t even all that spectacular.

Any QB who can go 8 - 1 with that schedule is incredible.

You’d expect a Wolfe would know better than to try to let things blow over.

listen, i feel you — and i can say in the comments that i think this is an incredibly fucking brutal assault, obviously — but a) my standard and necessary headline language is really not the problem at base here and b) particularly not when, in the hypothetical event that gawker gets sued to the ground, there will be…

I have some context: The NFL is trash and so are its fans.

I bet you also don’t have a tv and are fun at parties.

Dude, your experience does not every person’s experience make.

$40 of meat in a week! When I was at my poorest, I had $40 a month after I paid all of my bills. I lived on rice and beans, boxed meals and frozen foods. I had no car, and had to beg rides twice a month because the closest grocery store was 15 minutes away. That’s two grocery trips per month, so food had to last two…

Well, that’s what happens when you say things that are pedantic and vaguely insulting instead of relevant. What does it matter if those involved were students/faculty or not? At worse, you’re minimizing the crime (school shooting must be worse then other things, but let’s not say it’s *that* bad yet - we need more…

I also think that if they could get him to admit guilt to something - anything, that that would keep him from suing the police department in civil court.

Yup, full stop. Can we just apply Occam’s razor to this bitch already? Get rid of guns. If people start killing each other with chainsaws, or humming birds, or fucking pencils next, I’ll be the first to say ‘get the fuck rid of them too’. Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick, fuck me running, and shalamalamadingdong, stop…

“Beat Ole Piss? You can’t.”

I mean, it’s a funny line, but moving us to the metric system is 1000000x more beneficial and sane than anything anybody uttered on stage last night.

The sexual proclivities of the tea party/Christian hypocrites would be a lot more hilarious if they didn’t want to legislate the most intimate details of everyone else’s lives.

A rebuttal:

the NFL’s business model is no longer sport, it is sport’s narrative. Makes sense considering as a sport, it is trash anyway.

If I were a coach in this situation, I would have pulled my players from the field and refused to call another play until the headsets were fixed. This is a live televised game. The NFL would be embarrassed to sh-t getting caught on live TV offering up a game with sh-tty technology in use. And the Patriots ownership…

It’s not the crime that’s the story, it’s the cover-up. If you were not so investing in your totally cool HOT TAKE you would see that. As with the ball pressure crap, the NFL/Goodell took a minor rules issue and turned it into this gigantic conspiracy instead of dealing with it in a rational and systematic way.
