“His name is Jock Strap King” and “He’s stronger than you think.”

Fun Fact: All three of the Remy children are convicted felons.

This is important. It was (is?) widely believed that Jerry Remy used his money and influence in the area to repeatedly get his son out of trouble despite his obvious violent and unstable streak. I obviously have no firsthand knowledge of how true that is, but if it is, Remy writing “No one was looking to get him out…

Exactly right. Jared was a violent man who got away with many things because of who his dad was. Maybe if his dad had gotten him help to go along with lawyer and bail money Jerry wouldn’t have gotten such a “rough” time of it in the media.  They were exceptionally shitty parents, who raised shitty kids... one of whom…

Jerry Remy is a scumbag of the highest order

there was legitimate criticism of jery and phoebe and how they bailed jared out time and again instead of having him face consequences for earlier actions. when you hear jery speak on this, or read his words, you are hearing only one side of the equation. jared was allowed to skate for years on bad behavior and,…

I lived in Boston at the time, and remember that this story is so much worse than Jerry makes out to be (not surprising). Jared just got arrested for domestic violence against Jen and once he was released on bail he immediately the next day went back to their home and stabbed her multiple times throughout the house.

Does Bradley Cooper count for our biggest celebrity? Always see him out in the burbs when he is visiting his family.

Casserly is wrong so often that he’s about to get Lombardi’s slot at The Ringer.

Counterpoint:

It’s not jiggering anything on the fly. He’s been working on it in practice heavily for well over a year. He’s just been reluctant to pull it out in the actually games. That’s what Brown means - taking it from practice to actual action. Not starting to build it from scratch now or anything.

Are we watching the same replays of this? There was nothing “violent” about this and Embiid didn’t hit him like a “strong safety”. Not even close.

In that clip, Embiid drills Westbrook like he’s a strong safety with a free shot at a wide receiver on a batted ball

Embiid is 10th in PER. Westbrook is 39th.

“Justifiably went after Embiid”....seriously? The hit only happened because Westbrook lost the handle and fell underneath Embiid. It happens, and Westbrook overreacted.

Wrong.

In his defense, he shuffles back a couple of small steps, then steps forward while catching the ball and give himself a little momentum coming out instead of catching it flat footed. He caught it about waist high. It would have landed in the end zone, but only by a yard or maybe two. He showed much poorer spatial…
