Ban Helmets. Ban Helmets. Ban Helmets.

Have you ever considered that the customers are “shitty” because everyone in the dealership is trying to rip them off and everyone knows it? Not all retail is like this - I have bought lots of things in my life, in fact I buy things big and small every day without being shitty to the person selling the items and…

I know that no-one outside Ireland cares about this but every single person in the country who wasn’t from Dublin was shouting for Mayo. It’s one thing to have a long drought between championships but to lose 9 finals, the last two by one score... Jesus Christ there are no words.

Feedly. I never visit websites anymore (unless I want to read the comments on Deadspin) because everything is in my feed and there is a save for later button that keeps those potential tabs out of sight and out of mind. I don’t know how I functioned without an RSS reader before but I would never go back.

I’m sorry, you sound like an NFL exec when you argue that “offsets” are a substitute for truly negotiating a fair contract. Everything in the NFL is designed to make sure that players are underpaid relative to their market value: the draft, the salary cap and the rookie scale. These are all anticompetitive rules that…

Because the contract is a bullshit, team friendly piece of crap that is based solely on draft position and not on skill or performance. He is being drastically underpaid relative to his true value and he had no say in that.

No, of course not. Everyone, no matter how vile their crimes, deserves competent representation. My point is really that this isn’t a defense and it is amazing that his lawyers are arguing this point.

Well, the only defense here is “it didn’t happen”. A game of he said, she said, she said, she said ad nauseum.

i was just coming to say this. If his only defense is that it is sometimes ok to digitally penetrate young girls without gloves then thankfully he is bollixed.

Thanks

Damn, I avoided it because I didn’t want to hear the inevitable “fire them all” talk. I was still assuming that they had lost until I read this post this morning (I did not watch the game).

Do you have another link to this? I can’t get it to work now and I’m trying to show it to everyone. It’s such a great video

Irish. It’s an Irish language tv station and even at that he has a very strong accent. You’d be hard pressed to understand him speaking English.

Or hurling or Gaelic football or soccer. Basketball is waaaay down the list. Rugby is probably number 4.

Not to mention - Chris Sale has an ERA of 0.93 and had 13 Ks today.

Jesus, I’m sure Clay is a nice guy and when he was good he was great but as a Red Sox fan, every time it was his turn to pitch I got the heebie jeebies. I would have traded him for two flaming bags of turds (which, incidentally is the exact value of that trade in bags of turds).

You know, normally I sneer like everyone else at the macho bullshit but I am ok with this. They won that game. There is no doubt about it.

If you are honest and have nothing but the best intentions, you should welcome that scrutiny. Ask the parents to be there. Be very open about these issues. Given what we know now, I wouldn’t trust anyone who was not like that.

Holy crap. I thought I was the oldest fogey here. Not even close.
