I was once in line at McDonald’s many years ago when a guy walked in and whipped a cheeseburger at the kid behind the counter and screamed “I said no mustard!”. He turned around and left and everyone just sort of stood there.

Police should have checked Tucker’s basement and not his front door a few weeks ago.

Oh, I’m not justifying it. From a morality standpoint I think it’s pretty terrible.

By this logic though there is *some* value in playing him less these last 17 games if they think it lets him play more the next two seasons that he’s there (plus playoffs if that happens). More total games in aggregate and thus more ticket demand.

They’ve doubled down hard on this bad tweet all night, too.

I won’t disagree with anything you say, other than that my argument was not about a zero tolerance policy on anti-Semitism because what Rep. Omar did was in fact not anti-Semitism.

And then we wonder how exactly the Democratic party rarely controls positions of power despite having overwhelming advantages in pure numbers.

With this line of thinking, apparently the only thing Trump did wrong was not publicly accept assistance from Russia, but rather concealed it.

One day, hopefully sometime in the future but I fear not, supporting and advocating terrible positions and for terrible things will be seen as worse than being mean to someone online.

They’re TOO on point to be parody

It seems like Kobe is trying to pass off somewhat reasonable advice (don’t quit something you start) without recognizing the context in this situation that Zion is only playing college basketball because he has to, not because he wanted to.

Exactly...the sheer talent of those teams you mentioned, including the Warrior, allowed over the course of a season to just win out on a very consistent basis. But when you’re in the playoffs, everything is ratcheted up 5 notches and being able to roll 4 lines, with 3 of them having scoring ability, is a necessity.

Normally I’m not a fan of these ambush, leveraging children to make a scene sorts of situations.

Let me tell you, you’ve got to have serious balls to deny an allegation in which they say they have video of you engaging in said illegal act.

Dude has more assists than all but 10 other players have points.

See now, you’ve done it again. You’re thinking and that was the start of your problems.

Is he in 2019? I wouldn’t have argued that from probably 2010 or 2011 thru even last season (although his total yards were inflated because he had more attempts than anyone). But this past season he played probably as bad as he has in years and he’s only getting older. He’s not as good as Brady/Brees/Rodgers/Mahomes…

Come on, I’m not blaming Roethlisberger for his contract. Good for him, and frankly all wages in the NFL are suppressed relative to the value they derive for the franchise so that is not at all what I’m arguing.

As noted in a response to someone else, it isn’t a direct link between Roethlisberger and Bell. But Roethlisberger carries the largest cap hit on the team and has for a long time. Pittsburgh didn’t want to pay Bell what Bell thought he was worth. Having a lower cap hit for their QB may have changed how that internal…

Sure but Roethlisberger’s cap hit made signing Bell more difficult. They could have surrounded a young QB with a solid offensive line and arguably the best suite of playmakers in the NFL and had some savings left over to fill out the defense.
