The secret is probably that seal blubber contains some kind of opiate, has anyone looked into that?

It’s a relatively easy way to attempt to teach them emotional intelligence. You are (hopefully) giving them the opportunity to correct the lie and be truthful in a calm and judgement-free zone, the first time at least. When the kids fail to tell the truth, the parents are attempting to explain how lying hurts people…

put him in the booth!

Sure, but would he win a fight against a tubby racist shitheel wearing a camo Jazz hat?

Fuck yeah, let’s do it. As a Bengal’s fan it feels a bit like watching your little brother suddenly surpass you: it stings a bit, but you feel good about it.

That is a damn fine question. I need to smoke some pot and get back to you with an answer.

I absolutely agree with the sentiment on a moral level, but it would be harmful to the sport if that were the case. How could a city like Minneapolis or Indianapolis ever have a competitive team? In order for the league to retain any pretense of competitiveness, they need to be able to get players to be OK with living…

So the fact that Anthony Davis knows where he wants to go, and that the team for which he wants to play also wants him to play for them, doesn’t really matter at all.
