It’s a great catch, but he cups the ball and then pulls it in to his body. Doesn’t really require much hand strength to do that.

It very clearly meets the legal definition of assault- An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal and/or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same…

Where are you seeing in the story the claim that the guy laid back and just quietly let himself get pummeled in the face? The article makes it sound like this was a fight, with both people participating and one winning. Now, KJ may certainly have been wrong (depends on details not present in the article and…

That is a fairly absurd parsing of what actually happened. Half a dozen blows can be landed in a span of 2-3 seconds. If you think that the first punch was justified logically the next 5 were as well. Self defense law doesn’t require an individual using justifiable force to be able to make literally split second…

Could’ve been a pun, in which case it would’ve been a damn clever one.

I believe they stated a while back that they refused to marry until everyone could marry whomever they loved. So they were waiting until gay marriage was legalized. From what I recall, they still got married before that happened, but that was their stated reason for waiting as long as they did.

Do you...do you know that words have meaning in context? Do you understand how to read in context?

Good lord man, I’m not sure what you’re reading. My calling your comment “smaller” was simple parallelism of your calling my comment large. It was a relative comment (meaning, and I can’t believe I have to do this to make it clear- I was saying your comment was smaller in length RELATIVE to my “larger”/more verbose…

So much anger man- why so salty? Frankly, I’m not sure what you’re asking. You attacked me for saying your comment was “small” and are now getting all worked up because you think I actually said it was “large”, but I didn’t say it was small or large. I made a pretty benign statement that it was smallER than my…

And if you think “smaller” means “small” then...well, I don’t really have a pithy comment for you. I’m just sorry for you is all.

That’s a smaller wall of text that didn’t address any of the arguments I made as to why your narrowing of the timeline for outcome alterations is problematic. I can see how you missed the thrust of that though- it was only the very first sentence in my wall.

In all fairness, how is the official supposed to be able to tell from where he’s standing if it’s a safety or not?

Agreed. Now that I see that it was OSU that committed the intentional grounding (the article made it seem to me as if CMU committed intentional grounding to keep the clock from expiring) I have no problem with giving CMU an additional play to offset the penalty committed by OSU. If they really wanted to run the clock…

Agreeing on the poorly written aspect. It took me a second to realize that the author was saying that OSU was the one’s called for intentional grounding. I didn’t realize that, which then makes me wonder why they threw it away to waste the final four seconds rather than just run the time off the clock and then take a…

The problem is figuring out why this last play is deemed so crucial that it deserves post hoc treatment. The outcome of the game was different, so the rule you are proposing would be that when an official’s action was wrong and results in an outcome that was different than what it would have been then that call should…

Witcher 3 is fantastic. I’m playing Batman: Arkham Knight right now, which is also great. The Last of Us is an incredible experience. Uncharted was alright, although I know some folks who love it.

$11 for a 12 pack of soda?!?!? What the hell is going on here? I was at Safeway in DC the other day and they have a deal where you buy two 12 packs and you get three free. So for $12 I got 60 sodas. What is pepsi 1893 made out of, unicorn tears and super model farts?

Given the comments, it’s clear that last snarky aside was a really useful addition. Wouldn’t want anyone actually talking about Big Papi’s point or anything.

Keep em coming!

LOL, this is amazing. How many responses can I get out of you considering that one should have been trying too hard?
