It’s called paying it forward.

And get the fuck outta Salt Lake ....

Remember this when the “athletic departments lose money” argument is brought out against paying college athletes. Clemson could pay Dabo Swiney half of that contract (I think he’d live) and have the money to pay 100 scholarship players an average of 25,000 a piece.

I have another theory that could explain this other than “NBA refs are so raaacccissst!”, bear with me:

Just so we are on the same page:

But what of Foos’ records? Do they really offer the insight into the sexual culture of the 1970s that Foos insists they do and Talese hopes they might?

Maybe. But I think the reason he had to convince himself it was research was to placate any guilt he was feeling over it. And pretend it wasn’t really any different from Kinsey. Would a sociopath care enough about the violation to have to justify it to themselves? I have no idea.

I was stuck in an airport for most of Sunday and devoured the latest New Yorker, including this story. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed it immensely, it’s a wonderfully written article full of all kinds of ethical questions. But I disagree with Jez’ assumption that Talese at any point thinks Foos’ “research” has any kind of…

This is one of those stories that leaves me feeling deeply conflicted.

Maybe I’m just being pedantic, but I feel like this article takes two mostly unrelated questions: “was this methodologically sound research (in the sense of producing reliable data)?” and “was this ethical?”, and eliminates the distinction between them. (Though it makes a cogent argument that the answer is “no” in…

Laughable, they barely beat a depleted Cavs team last year, you are delusional if you think this team would ever beat that Bulls team.

Bulls in six? What a fucking joke. If they played today the Warriors might lose one game, two max. I mean most of the Bulls players are in their fifties now for Christ’s sake.

I said the same thing when he horribly misplayed that ball in game 3 of the NLCS. Even as a Mets fan, I felt bad for him. It’s one thing to be a terrible fielder, but it’s another thing to literally not know how to field the position. The former is bad, the latter is dangerous. Schwarber has no idea how to play the…

And this was year the really kneed him too.

Ron Pastrami is a sweet name, don’t be ashamed.

Great story. I wish they went a little bit into why the franchise doesn’t exist at all today, but maybe that’s part two.

Yeah, but also, no. If you want to get nerdy, his advanced stats say this is his worst year, save one of the years his body malfunctioned.

Pretty sure they mean the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

I think you meant turr-ble. Carry on.

Stanton doesn’t need Bonds to hit moon shots. He’s been doing that just fine without him.
