I kinda feel sorry for him anyway. Reffing is hard.

These are grown men, and fully capable of figuring out how to get to work on time. A mandatory hotel stay is not how you treat an adult in this situation.

Yes but the lowest paid player on the Patriots makes over $550k a year so asking them to spend $350 on a hotel room for the night in order to guarantee punctuality isn’t exactly a hardship.

IF ONLY there was a hotel within walking distance of the Stadium!

I’m just tired of the “everything the Patriots say or do is offensive in some way” style of breathless reporting that’s cropped up recently.

Hack sports blogger isn’t a real job?

Or 9 people who have lived where it snows regularly?

Why does he have to tell a group of grown men to do that. If they don’t want to drive in the snow, they have that option, as well as a million other options that their multi-million dollar paychecks afford them.

He did, or apparently at least alluded to it. McCourty even mentioned it in quotes that Emma did not include in her article.

Uh insisting people show up on time is not inconsistent with basic human decency. They know ahead of time the weather will be bad. Plan accordingly. You would not last five minutes in a real job

There are several hotels within walking distance of the stadium. The Reinaissance Boston at Patriot Place (so, it literally shares a parking lot with the stadium) has rooms available for $144 tonight.

Close your mouth. Have a seat

You need to go back to law school bro, or just hush. You’re making a fool out of yourself. Let the grownups and the professionals have this discussion

It doesn’t matter if it’s reasonably foreseeable that it might NOT happen. That’s not the legal standard—it is “is it reasonably foreseeable” (not likely, not probable, but foreseeable) that this outcome could happen?

Your rejection is meaningless. Your personal opinion is not law. You’re making a fool of yourself arguing legal definitions that people far more intelligent, educated and researched have spent decades carefully defining. By all means continue to express your ignorance of history and ‘legal opinions’ that hold real…

Well, that’s good for you, and I’m happy you’re able to be such an ignorant little shit, but I don’t expect sunshine and roses when I call and say somebody is holding a family hostage and has already gunned someone down.

Now fuck off and shut up. Goddamn fourteen year olds on the internet, I swear.

What was his intent by telling the police that his target had hostages at gunpoint, a family member already dead by his hand, and was ready to burn the place down at any moment? How credulous are you?

You’re wrong guy. If you commit a crime that results in someone’s death, you have committed murder or manslaughter in pretty much every state.

Pretty sure your “well, actually” shit got shut the fuck down in this thread. Have a seat.
