It had kind of become the narrative leading up the game, in stories on how he became the Broncos unlikely starter (after having once been the 11th-rated QB in the Big 10).

And a certain type of commenter here who is into, shall we say, declaring, “your criticism of anything Newton does makes you a racist and me good.”

“and his only real success came on screen passes.”

So by “the end of the game,” we mean “questions tossed at him after the end of the game.”

For that matter, the whole half-the-distance makes no sense. At the 11, 10 yards are marked off for a hold. At the 9, 4.5.

The standards and copy style editor for the NY Times in his former weekly column spelled it “lead.”

I see your point, but statistically, the polluters might be 5 to 10 percent of abstainers. And if they have quit long term, they might be same as other abstainers. And I don’t know, but I would think at least some studies would exclude them. And it probably gets complicated measuring “good for you.” Maybe lowers heart…

Excellent advice about not lying about alcohol if you are going into the hospital for a day or more and you are a hardcore alcoholic. As the doc says, alcohol withdrawal can be deadly or at least cause problems (seizures, hypertension, bleeding) that may baffle doctors or endanger you. If they know, they can manage it…

Agreed. Someone who has 2 to 3 a day is on the high side, but if he just naturally almost never exceeds that (not through some effort of “willpower”) is almost surely not into alcoholism territory.

It is on the high side—although the piece falsely translates 10 to 15 drinks a week to 2 to 3 a day. The current thinking is that one a day probably is actually beneficial; more than 2 and you could be courting health problems. Whether you have an alcohol problem relates more to the effect of alcohol on your life.…

Maybe it’s supposed to be Everytine as in stick a fork in it.

“on accident” is more like low American or African American colloquial. Or a writer just getting his preposition wrong. “Do you want to come with?” is more of a regionalism; it is very common in Minnesota.

Or a semi-literate American.

I think this was a union person put up to it.

Maybe because you have some other motive in documenting the experience and actually want to portray it as awful as possible?

That they flew there is the number one reason I am suspicious of the whole thing.

“Obtained by Gizmodo”? Is there some secret involved as to how you knew about it? Obtained, perhaps, by way of the union? This has markings of a union put-up job, beginning with the notion that someone would independently fly to Atlantic City for a six-day stay in the Trump TM. The complaint is highly detailed in…

“The debate over safe spaces, too, has become cartoonized, a shorthand way to complain about privileged millennials,”

One thing you will learn from experts on PTSD is that it is far rarer even in battle-battered vets than the general perception—certainly rarer than affected by self-diagnosing college students who speak of “trauma” when the see the word Trump written in chalk on the sidewalk. And many people with real PTSD actually…

How is a Republican club any more of a safe space than any of a number of clubs that have existed long before safe spaces? Sorry—safe spaces are the province of the left.
