Oh, absolutely. The Rose shot was awesome because of the context but a brief glance at his long distance shooting percentage makes it rather clear that it was a happy accident.

Didn’t call bank = ain’t worth shit.

I understand that Deadspin isn’t the biggest fan of either party, but Joe Buck’s appearances on Pardon My Take have not only redeemed him in my eyes, but made him downright likable.

You know how much money the average jizz mopped makes per hour?

Whilst sharing his paternal advice about grit and team defense with all those unfortunate, misled boys who do those silly slam dunks when they could take an open layup.

As a healthcare worker, I regularly see rhabdomyolysis in elderly people with the underlying explanation being that their regenerative capabilities are limited. It’s pretty fucked to see it in a group of young athletes like this. Look for a heavy reprimand on the strength and conditioning coaches who were totally…

Counterpoints: 18/yr for Noah is a definite miss but bearable in the new era of NBA contracts.

We don’t know what happened outside the restaurant. We know she was in there and sitting before he walked in, at which point she called him over.

As much as Mixon is the asshole in this saga, I can’t fully feel sorry for someone that calls someone over, shoves them, then slaps them before getting their face smashed. Yes, it was a wildly disproportionate response but there is still that nagging bit of “eehh... You kinda started this...”

I though the top photo was Andrew Luck after his mother dressed him for church on Easter...

Here’s a little predictive timeline for you:

HIPAA laws apply to those with privileged access. That is, the hospital and its employees have privacy duties above and beyond those of normal citizens. Publicizing the photo was a shitty thing for Shefter to do, but it was ultimately on the people with direct access to prevent that from getting out. As such, JPP has…

Not true by a long shot. A lot of people point to HIPAA as a protection for JPP - which it absolutely is - but Shefter and ESPN are not bound by that. Rather, the hospital system and the employee that sent him the photo are. Hogan’s case is more akin to revenge porn and was exacerbated by the fact that Gawker actively…

I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords.

Brutal. Enjoy the star you heartless, clever bastard.

Not that I’m disagreeing with your point, but it looks like there was at least an actual investigation here. I’ve no idea how thorough or objective it was, of course, but that’s better than a lot of cases.

Theeeeere’s the Shea I know.

As a Bears fan... Dammit.

While Patreus did reveal information, it was to one other person and not further disseminated. That by no means excuses him, but it’s not “the same thing.”
