Are Brazilians not Latinos?

Not a fan of the inept Ginger Hammer, but file this under “Doing the Right Thing For the Wrong Reasons.” Oakland needs to be saved from itself on the Raiders issue. Goodell’s “football fans exist solely for us to exploit” mentality ends up working to help the city overcome its own worst instincts.

Sadly, I think you’re wrong. The City and the County are like a battered wife in this scenario: they really, reallllly believe the Raiders can change if only they love them enough.

It’s well-known that Bautista, while going to Andover and Yale, used $100 bills as napkins. Trumbo, on the other hand, still works a graveyard shift twice a week at the local factory “just to keep myself real”. Its on the Internet, so you know its true.

I hate to quibble over writing errors, but the statement “The entire Bearcats starting backcourt stands over 6-foot-3" is awkward. They start two guards, one 6'3" and one 6'4", and a 6'6" wing. That’s just 3 guys. That’s like saying “Among alleged billionaires, Donald Trump is the best President ever”; while true,…

Why is this news? Hasn’t that chicken been embroiled in a long-running, well-publicized and documented beef with a famous television celebrity?

The only thing better than a pint of actual Guinness on (nitro) tap, whilst sitting at a nice bar, would a pint of actual Guinness on (nitro) tap with a Jameson’s, neat, whilst sitting at a nice bar.

My family is Catholic because of my mom; my dad was a stone-cold, rational atheist. When my brother was young, there was no NJB or AAU in our area; the only organized youth basketball outside of high school were the Mormons. My dad had played Division I basketball for 4 years, AAU until his late 30s (back when that…

No. Calipari reaps enormous personal benefit from the free labor of 13 - 15 young men. Because he is “honest” about his program, he gets out of even the facade of pretending to provide those young men with a college education in exchange for their labor. Sure, he puts more young men into the NBA than almost any…

Just more evidence supporting Kim Mulkey. Bliss was hired by Southwestern Christian University; obviously he’s a good man. 

You know how all semi-intelligent people realized long ago that all those publicly pious politicians were presumably full of shit?

I’m pretty sure the second kid is half robot.

Much less than zero.

No, saying “most American sports owners are classless” is like saying the sky is blue. But saying Dan Snyder is “the most classless” is a special honorific that is like saying “the Sun is the hottest thing in the Solar System.” Its impressive, in a horrible way.

Alcoholism and drug addiction are not covered by the ADA, so no employer is obligated to provide reasonable accommodation for them. If McCloughan is an alcoholic (and he apparently publicly admits he is), he has zero case for discrimination. Snyder, Allen, and the rest of the people involved are just shitheels and…

Defamation law requires the allegedly defamatory statement be untrue but stated as truth. So, saying “We are of the opinion that Scot has suffered a relapse of his alcoholism” isn’t defamatory because its an opinion. Saying “Scot is a brutal alcoholic who was drunk in the office and in the locker room” isn’t…

Goddamn it! As a 49er fan, the one thing we could take solace in was knowing that we held a lock on the award for “Organization Most Likely To Fuck Over An Employee To Cover Its Own Incompetence.” Now we don’t even have that. I blame Trump.

Albert, I get that you are using the rhetorical device of overstating the weakness of an opposing viewpoint. I believe you would admit that a player’s defensive contribution is a part of the matrix of data that defines his or her value to a team (and, I guess, league in the sense that the MVP is a league award), and…

Also penis fighting. We do a lot of that. Winner gets to pee on the loser in the showers.

This is a fix. The judges will look at her and go “Ohhhh; isn’t she adorable? Spell ‘adorable’.” Her winning word will be “cat”.
