“Wait, where am I? Who is this guy”

I think Deadspin should offer a one-time-only amnesty in which Jets fans are allowed to switch their allegiance to another team without being accused of bandwagoning. Then after they’ve all accepted the offer, publish a followup post saying it was a trick and only the most pathetic fanbase in sports would accept such…

and it’s not like he specified sport or age group. All things relative, the 2008 Round Rock Youth League 9-11 year old Pumas Field Hockey team was a woeful collection of singularly untalented hacks unfit to even be on the field with the other teams.

Josh McCown did an anti-porn PSA.

My goodness. The Jets are so bad at QB right now that the 2009 draft trade to get Sanchez now doesn’t look so bad. It’s like the George W. Bush presidency compared to the current one.

THANK YOU. The misuse of “I” in these situations is shockingly widespread.

What? What? Why does she have “every reason to collude”?

Cash cow? Do his parents have a lot of money or something? The chances he ever makes it to the NFL (even before this happened) are slim to none.

She used the correct grammar. The simple way to test for ‘I’ vs ‘me’ is to remove the preceding name.

+1 pedantic point.

It’s almost like there should be an independent branch of government whose job it is to investigate allegations of abuse, charge an offender, and then have witnesses and evidence in some kind of open forum where everything gets exposed to the light of day in an open and transparent manner.

It seems the same people who want the authorities to take women at their word in accusations of sexual assault want us to call them liars when the exonerate the accused.

The issue here is that colleges are simply not equipped in any kind of way to engage in such activities. They are not motivated by law or justice or good of any kind. They act to protect their endowments and lines of business, like any other company would do.

This was my first thought when reading this as well. Freaky sex is a real possibility. It’s an explanation for people on the outside seeing potentially “violent behavior” and personal enough for her to not want to specifically address it in her letter and instead insist domestic violence does describe what occurred.

“I understand that domestic violence is a terrible problem, but in no way does that apply to Matt and me.”

Who issued the no-contact? If it wasn’t a real judge, the proper response is “fuck you.” I mean, they took his scholarship and place on the team. What else they got? They going to take hers away? Good luck with that PR look.

Agreed. Besides, tennis players are better equipped than most to tell whether or not something crossed the line.

Virtually every time a situation like this arises, I am reminded that our actual criminal justice system has a very hard time managing to exact justice, and that schools or organizations like the NFL have essentially no chance of doing a good job. Good for the Deadspins out there, bad for the unprepared…

She obviously likes a guy who can split the uprights. Duh.

Very suspicious...why would a tennis player date a kicker?
