My point is just that both are totally out of Melo’s control... that it wasn’t necessarily an indictment of him, his mom, or dad, or anyone. Saying “if you grew up without a 2nd parent, it probably had a negative effect on how you were raised” would be a true statement regardless of the circumstances (or it’s what he…

Of course nobody has to work on Christmas. It’s a Sunday.

Not saying his own cancer prevents him from being a piece of shit. Just that someone who’s gone through that sort of thing is probably coming from a place of insensitivity or ignorance, rather than maliciousness

I just wanna know why the fuck is Drew wears shoulder strap seat belts under his shoulders

Wow he wrote that? Crazy. That might rank somewhere in the top 10,000 most insane things said by a candidate in this election cycle.

No - Browns keep their own pick at the top of the third. This will be a mid-to-late third rounder

I was also expecting something more along the lines of the GTD 2-minute rule: “if it takes less than 2 minutes, don’t put it on a to do list, just do it.”

The kind of status you can buy is fleeting, but the kind that comes from hard work and investing time in those around you is a lot harder to come by.

If both teams had like 12 possessions and couldn’t win outright, they don’t both need a “chance” in OT - just make it fair. Just place the ball wherever each team is equally likely to score first (~own 15), or auction off possession to the team that’s willing to take the ball closer to their own end zone, and go back…
