I don’t care if you’re Ekbatani’s brother, you don’t get to pass judgment on her for how she handled a stressful situation in her life. Ekbatani’s story is uplifting, but it says nothing about what his mental state was immediately after, nor does it say anything about how the fallout from it impacted his relationship…

It’s not being obtuse to recognize that simplifying somebody’s life down to “she left him because he lost his leg,” is childishly lacking in context. A former elite athlete loses his leg which leads his mental state to deteriorate to the point of contemplating suicide. This impacts his relationships including a broken…

Right, because we all should stand in judgment of a young woman because of how she dealt with the stress of a traumatic event in her life. Not to mention that the traumatic event seems (based on the article you linked to) to have led to severe mental and emotional trauma beyond the physical already sustained by her…

Neither did I.  I just had to Google that name.  

Pretty close...

Very true. 

LOL.

No, no, no, no, you’re an idiot.  Poopy head!

Good points.  I concede...for now. ;)

I haven’t watched wrestling in decades.  Perhaps that explains why I’m seeing things that aren’t there.  

Haha! I fully admit I have no idea other than the twitter videos posted above and an interview with Bret. But he seemed to be moving pretty well.

No idea. Maybe everyone wasn’t in on it. I don’t know that it was a work, but it really looked like one.

Places get sued all the time when bouncers go overboard and cause injury to patrons that may have been deserving of being removed from the premises.

Seemed fake to me. Maybe that’s the joke, and I’m about to be pelted with metaphorical bags of shit for being so lame as to have missed it. If so, I apologize.

Did not. Though I did get to go to the 13-inning classic of a play-in game against the Padres that year.

I once sat in Coors Field, seemingly as the only Rockies fan in attendance, and listened to thousands of Phillies fans rabidly chant the name of a young player (Chase Utley) who hadn’t even played a full season in the bigs, yet. That experience is, to this day, the the most obnoxious time I’ve ever had at a baseball…

I think it’s mostly jealousy, myself included. They’re like the Yankees of the midwest.  They just win too much.  Deep down, I kind of root for them because, you know, at least it’s not the Yankees.  And I was a huge Ozzie Smith fan growing up. It’s complicated.

Angels in the Outfield 2: Angels Still in the Outfield

I guess that depends on what you mean by “us.” He had the entirety of the Allianz and even the BTSport commentators in tears when he netted his third from the spot. Quite conflicting emotions watching one of the greatest comebacks ever while knowing that for justice to be done, the star of the show will need to end up…

It seems so fashionable to adopt these clever rhetorical devices that ultimately end up undermining whatever point is being made and ignoring objective realities for the sake of political convenience.
