The problem is that the standards for failing tests are often only the amount of THC you'd have in your system from second hand smoke a few days earlier — search out details of the Josh Gordon NFL suspension for an example of how ridiculous the standards and processes are. States that have THC testing for drugged…

Maybe I'm misreading that last sentence, but reasonable doubt isn't the standard in a civil suit, so reasonable doubt wouldn't keep Tony Stewart safe in a civil suit. Even on the criminal side of this matter, Stewart will not see any legal proceedings where the accusation is held to that high of a standard since the…

I don't even turn on ESPN anymore, but if she's hosting it would seem that she's not being asked for a whole lot of opinion or analysis.

So you're saying he could have sent Hughes out for that $500,000 relief appearance after all?

Wish I would have read this before piling on a few of the earlier comments... kudos for the very rare peaceful resolution of an internet discussion.

Think of it like radar detectors (better unhook yours through VA) or window tint. It's a pain in the ass for the driver, but you have to obey the local laws — how would you realistically expect them to even know what the law is where you're coming from? Functionally, what you're proposing would make every state need…

Yes. To make an analogy, if it's illegal for you to have a gun in your car in NYC, but you leave FL with a gun in your car and drive through NYC. You'll go to jail in NYC (assuming they notice). You can't say that it would have been inconvenient for you to comply with their law — which is the argument you're making…

I was going to suggest a day of free admission on Hughes' tab. I like yours better.

He absolutely has a contract. The article addresses that point in more than one place. Including where it says it's up at the end of the year.

Oh. Didn't know that. I'm a Bills fan so I'm usually not watching football anymore that late in the season.

Don't look now, but Gary Bettman has grown the fuck out of the NHL and is about to restart the hockey world cup so that he can tell the Olympics to fuck off. He's certainly not likeable, but the league may be able to command a $1B expansion fee in its next round of expansion. He built in a salary cap and the league…

They suspended SVP for badmouthing Bud Selig. Also, the podcast was released with the cursing bleeped, so that seems unlikely.

"And the people who'd defend that name, like those in the Daily Show segment? They are entitled to no sympathy whatsoever. They deserve whatever mockery they get."

"But all of a sudden we're confronted with the fact that, no, Native Americans are living, breathing, current human beings who might actually want to have some input over how they are portrayed"

He is fun, but there's a vast conspiracy to pretend he isn't.

Yeah, it is really hard to imagine that a pitcher would lose any velocity over the course of an entire season of baseball.

You're insane if you think that an entire team of MLB players are going to give away a game just because their entire team, which has been a Yankee punching bag for about 20 years, just loves Jeter so much.

...and he did make a good throw.

Unless they are also all that useless with firearms.

Did you just suggest intelligent discourse with a twitter bot?
