There was actually a third who went after Conor as the first two were separated from him. If you look at the start of the Instagram post from semarroy, he is the guy in the grey/black shirt (holding a big blond wig) being restrained on the left side of the screen by Herb Dean and others until they get distracted by…

That would be a fine argument except for the fact that the bank admits that he wasn’t the one who cosigned the loan that defaulted.

I am sure Oksana was not happy about the way things ended since she was clearly on her way to winning, but the blame goes to Serena for her petulance and violations not to Ramos for enforcing the rules.  Serena was the one who robbed her of that clean win and publicity by acting like a spoiled child when she was…

He had no right to impose his subjectivity on the match? Since you also said the verbal abuse rule is subjective, I guess that means Serena should have been able to say absolutely anything she wanted and he wouldn’t be able to impose his subjectivity to rule it verbal abuse (which means there is no point in having a…

FFS. You know what I did when I was in college and wanted to learn about the perspectives of people of other races and cultures? I asked them. Between my dorm and classes, I was in contact with a pretty diverse group of people. Our dorm had tons of (usually late night) conversations about race, gender, religion, etc.…

She knows where the line is, and she knows she didn’t cross it in terms of being penalized a game.

Completely wrong. Umpires enforce the rules. They are not responsible for the players’ decisions or the consequences of enforcing the rules. If doing their job decides a championship, so be it.

That is not what was said. The OP was only commenting about who the right reveres (to contrast it with the right’s hatred of unions). S/he made no comment about who the left does or doesn’t revere

I agree, but I also think that pretty much all unions have made it far too difficult to fire workers who are bad at their job. A poorly performing teacher in a good union can stay there for years/decades. However, unlike the police (or fire department in your example) most professions will consider ‘causing harm to…

The thing is, those deals usually don’t pay off for QB’s either. I think it is only 6 Super Bowl winning QB’s in the last 25 years that have accounted for more than 10% of the cap with the highest being Steve Young at 13.1% in 1994. After that it is Peyton at 12.2% in 2015, Eli at 11.7% in 2011, Brady at 11.1% in…

That kinda ignores that the Raiders stupidly chose to pay a middle of the road QB, top 6 money. They made a stupid decision and are now using it to justify further stupid decisions. If they didn’t think both salaries were affordable, they should have kept Mack with the plan to cut Carr next year and eat the $7.5…

As long as he shows up by Friday or Saturday to take a physical and sign his franchise tender, he’ll earn his Week 1 game check while being spared 20-30 touches worth of NFL punishment.

Pretty much every part of that comment is wrong.  He never made a football move.  Barely stretching one arm towards the end zone while already falling (not diving) is not a football move.  And the ball didn’t break the plane.  His right elbow hit the ground before that happened.

They have walked that back after a reporter pointed out that they are not on eVerify’s list of participating employers.

There are those identifying features, but they are also rather subtle, especially for riders who may not be aware of them because they are from out of town and/or drunk. OTOH, a yellow cab is a pretty much universally known symbol of a a NYC taxi. Virtually nobody is going to be banging on random car windows looking…

If you believe the NY Post reporting (and that is a big ‘if’), a resident came out to complain to Szabo about him banging on multiple car windows, Szabo decked that resident at which point Jones stepped out of his vehicle and clocked Szabo.

They are waiting on the autopsy report to confirm the cause of death. If/when they rule the death was directly caused by the punch (rather than a heart attack) they will upgrade the charges.

I think that maybe he expects organizers to schedule matches for the morning instead of waiting until 2 pm for the first match of the day.  There is less chance of a popup summer thunderstorm in the morning and it gives wiggle room to complete things if a storm does come through.  

Agreed. If a team is worried that a player may not be in the league in 4 years, then maybe they shouldn’t draft that player in the first round.

Also completely agree about the fines wiping out guarantees. The only thing that seems reasonable to me would be a PED or Personal Conduct suspension. And even then, I think it…

The 43rd President disagrees with you ;-)
