Whether it’s true or not, it is a weird story. It’d be one thing if the scenario were that some racist, homophobic assholes happened to run into Smollett, recognized him, and decided to kick the crap out of him, but the charge here is that the attack was premeditated, since no one wanders around with a noose and a…

LMFAO at Sarcastic Clapping Guy (1:08 of the first video).

I knew I remembered his name...

To be fair - it would have been criminal mismanagement for the Pels to deal Davis before the deadline. Not every team who wants him can make an offer right now - why take the scraps when someone is bound to make you a better offer over the summer, after the majority of the FAs are signed. There is exactly one player…

So a reporter asks another reporter - both of them working at the same sports tabloid company - if something tabloid-worthy happened and the answer was an unsubstantiated “yes, you’re not going to believe this, but it’s true!!!” and then a tabblog comes in and says, “wow must be true if two reporters talked about…

I think, given the state of things these days, that we can be reasonably sure this effort is being bankrolled by some wealthy GOP donor looking to keep this fiasco front and center of Trump voters.

Indeed - it was a performance reminiscent of another offensive minded whizkid just a couple of years ago:

ESPN must be pretty scared to find out that he’s “pursuing a lawyer”!

Or go no-huddle to stop the Patriots’ pre-snap shifts that were obviously confusing him.  

Goff was butt, but it once again raises the question for McVay: If your young QB is looking lost out there and facing a lot of zone, why not make things easier for him and build up his confidence with some screen passes?

This campaign makes 0 sense coming, as it does, on the tail of their anti-craft-beer (disguised as anti-beer snob) campaign set in the same universe. 

I’m surprised they didn’t try to pass to him outside more. If watching the Pats has taught me anything, it’s that if you can’t run, just throw screens and swing passes. He might not have done much with his 10 carriers, but 11 touches is criminally low. He only had two targets!

The “correct” way to say it would be “dumb about this shit,” but Cryptid already covered the way this phrasing meshes with “good at” and “bad at.” It’s technically incorrect, but it’s correctly used; it follows the conventional wisdom about being able to break grammar rules if you first understand them.

My /s isn’t missing — only because I feel too confident that the wise folks on this site know irony without having to be explicitly hand-held.

I will look up the full video, but honestly it doesn’t quite matter when you consider the scope of what truancy laws do and how they are unequally enforced against families of color. Funny enough Jez does a decent write up of this. She was jailing people, and filtering people into the system of mass incarceration.

“The Machine” of.... people who hate cops?

Damn, they literally just played a clip of her talking.
