How about funding those pensions & long term health care with slightly lower operating profits for the 30 owners who gain the long term benefits of franchise value?

Thank you: “The problem isn’t that this episode included a rape, but that it did so in the service of bad storytelling. It told the audience nothing that wasn’t already known, and it didn’t advance any plot lines beyond where they already were.”

I will never understand thinking that something like this a counterpoint.

This is different from anyone else who finds out they suck at their careers and need to make a living some other way, how?

You would make PFTCommenter so, so happy.

I don't think you know how slander works.

I get this is the anti-Simmons site, gotta set up your tent somewhere, but why qualify it? Simmons two best accomplishments, 30 for 30 and Grantland, both reveal a guy who finds people who are talented and empowers them to do great work.

It’s the difference between hiring people whose work you enjoy and letting them do that kind of work, and hiring people expecting them to do exactly the work you want them to do.

Grantland succeeds because I think Simmons, despite his ego, knows at least enough to give other people the space to do their own things. I think Vox would be an interesting example to bring in, just based on the sheer number of retractions they have to publish.

When Whitlock wrote that tripe regarding SAE, I did a Facebook post ridiculing him for once again taking black people to task for an issue that in no way was because of black people. He FOUND IT and stated that he was sorry that I “Misrepresented his column”. I responded that the only way I could have misrepresented…

Damn, Whitlock got put in a vacant.

Baloney. In Germany not only are workers paid more but give more generous benefits. Yet they are successful at making things. I have no clue where this idea came from that we as Americans should be happy to sacrifice our quality if living in the name of employment came from but it's horse shit.

Yes, I read it. My comment isn’t meant to be combative with the writer. Where are you getting that from?

The Spencer Hawes deal should have worked, though. A 26 year-old big man who had averaged about 12 pts and 8 rebounds in the last two years before LA, and hit 3’s should have fit perfectly to balance out Griffin and Jordan. This “Doc is a bad GM” storyline would be gone if Hawes performed as he should have, and all…

The cream and the clear were not banned substances, and were not even illegal until 2005, after BALCO was shut down. That's where the "never knowingly took steroids" came from, because they were not classified as steroids (or illegal).

It was a dumb fucking case anyway.

I understand the desire too, and I like to think that life in prison is a far, far worse punishment. He’d likely be sent to a supermax in Colorado, where he’ll spend most of his life in solitary confinement. And he’s young, so he might have a looooooong sentence.....

For a midsize family sedan, it’s pretty good looking.
