Possibly pedantic question: Most of the coverage of Mixon and Brantley has combined their crimes with players who have committed domestic violence against wife/lover. Is that fair? Assault on a stranger isn’t the same as domestic violence, after all.

I’m surprised, General Mattis, that you’re a Deadspin reader.

This went well for you.

That’s a fine policy going forward, but maybe they shouldn’t lead players to think they can go right to the NFL if they’re good enough, then wait until after they’ve done accelerated coursework, endured the NFL’s physical workouts and interview grind, and invited friends and family to watch them get drafted only to…

You should kind of look up what deferment means. Until then, I will defer from labeling you a dumb bastard.

True, you can’t touch refs. Just fans, teammates, girlfriends, strangers in a bathroom, and fiances in elevators.

Hockey seems to have a vocal contingent of fans (not a majority of fans, but enough so that it’s noticeable) that actively dislike their sports’ superstars, in fact they seem to dislike even the concept of superstars.

Nashville is a better team than their regular season record showed and being able to throw out Josi on the first pairing and then Subban gives them a 1-2 punch I don’t think any other team in the playoffs can match right now.

They seemed curiously uninterested in Noomi Rapace, despite the fact that she was wearing a rubber fetish suit at the time.

Your picture reminds me of my original, if somewhat twisted and perverse, interpretation of this movie. I apologize in advance if it offends.

I assure you, that’s the plot to an ever better film then what we will actually get.

David is standing above the population of the Engineer planet with a bunch of those evil canisters from Prometheus. What is he going to do?

Holy shit I had no idea my father in law commented here.

I will mention I didn’t really like the musical episode. Except for the Fathers’ Song, which contrasted with Super Best Friends by showing us what real West End/ Broadway stars sound like vs., well, the entire cast of Glee’s “barely above community theatre” level.

When asked about her return, Sharapova had this to say:

She was a little further than on the wavering line. Do I think it was intentional? No. Do I think it was lazy on her part? VERY. Did she get railroaded? No. And while one can argue anything they want, they’d be ludicrous to try to convince others that she was railroaded. She was very fairly suspended for not paying…

she did. I have no problem with it (though I’m not huge on this tournament bending their rules by a couple days on her suspension for her). But she absolutely didn’t get railroaded. She was fairly suspended.

She somewhat serve it. Her suspension was reduced twice, completely arbitrarily. This idea that she’s being picked on is odd.

ummm, she didn’t get railroaded tho
