Boss Endorses Man

“Oversight,” then.

It’s exactly like that! Well, at least if “independence!” was what your spouse liked to yell as they beat you to a pulp.

And he hired Frank Reich, whose coaching career is......yeah.

Why wouldn’t Jones be employable? His sex crime conviction came before the show’s original run.

Sure, they’re free not to play college sports. And fast-food workers are free not to work for minimum wage, and black homebuyers were free not to buy redlined properties on exploitative contracts, and you’re free not to pony up bail when you’re jailed for not having the dough to pay a parking ticket.

No. If college football and basketball players were mainly white (as they were until the 60s/70s), we would not have this system in the first place. Either there would be a lot less money involved, or the “student-athlete” premise would be at least somewhat less of a farce.

There are a few 18C houses on Benefit St., but it’s mostly early 19C.

I thought a lot of the coverage of OSU’s decision to go ahead with the game after the people were killed at the parade was similarly gross. We’re playing the game to honor the victims? What does that even mean? We’re going to go ahead and do what we were going to do anyway - but now, it’s to honor the victims! I mean,…

Yes, they’re still bribes. When the cost of doing business includes paying bribes, we call that “corruption.”

It’s funny cause he thought he was rich and will probably get brain damage.

Right. It’s like a lawyer defending a client in a DUI vehicular homicide case by showing videos of drunk drivers crashing w/o killing people, then protesting, “but these guys weren’t charged with murder!”

Literally nothing in this post is relevant to the clip above, in which Nolan calls out the sports media for their cavalier attitude toward domestic violence, not the NFLPA for supporting Hardy’s appeal.

Dunno, I think velocity is generally not treated as a part of stuff. Like a pitcher who throws 102mph straight as an arrow would not be considered to have great stuff. I’ve always thought of stuff as pretty reducible to “movement” on the pitch. Since obviously all pitches move, stuff is the subset of movement that…

Fair enough, but I’m pretty sure he’s staying on at the Atlantic. So the real tradeoff here - what he’s doing “instead” of The Undefeated, is continuing to write for the Atlantic at (supposedly) 1/3 what he could make working for Whitlock.

Great piece - really, just great.

Also, I think the most damning thing here is that Coates was (apparently) at least floated the opportunity to participate and lend credibility to the post-Whitlock salvaging of The Undefeated [...] and he said “nah, I’ll just go write a Black Panther run for Marvel.”
