Neither word changes the point. "Actions have consequences."

Why would someone who is appealing a sentence admit guilt to something that deserves a far greater punishment than the one he received?

I know what you're saying. This guy's a dope, but I wouldn't expect anything else from someone trying to wriggle their way out of punishment.

This is what I say to those who want to abort unwanted children.

That doesn’t go over so well on Gawker.

BTW, this jerk deserves everything negative that comes his way and more. His sentence should have been harsher. I just think it's funny to see the "consequences" line of thinking on a site like this that actively…

I agree, this is on Kyrie more than anyone.

First, he didn’t allow Mozgov to get set, as you correctly point out.

Second, Kryie didn't hug the screen. He left enough of a gap between him and Mozgov to give Klay the angle to jump in between them, and when Mozgov was too slow to close the gap, the result was that awkward…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, “competent." Oh man, that's a good one!

Oh wait, you were serious?

Probably my least favorite thing about Deadspin is when its writers come up with nonsense replies that are completely worthless and would get zero stars if it came from a gray like me, yet they end up with multiple times more stars than the OP they’re replying to who made a valid (usually contrarian) point.

Deadspin…

“Defense would matter again.”

Did you miss the Super Bowl? Defense was the only thing that mattered. It always has been.

It’s incredibly foolish to continue to refer to Roethlisberger as “accused rapist.”

I’m accusing you right now as being a terrible writer. Will you forever refer to yourself that way?

Listen, I hate the Steelers. I hate Ben Roethlisberger (I would bet he did some shady stuff that night, but I don't know all the facts).…

I have nothing to say about Ali’s conscientious objection to the Vietnam War.

He was, however, a preening showboat. That's why I didn't like him.

I know the article touched on it, but PASSWORD MANAGER. If you’re not using one, you don’t know what you’re missing.

After the LinkedIn hack, my IT director at work made an announcement to “change your LinkedIn password, and if you are using the same or similar passwords for anything else, change them too.” I chimed…

#1 fallacy on kinja isn’t on the list.

Where is ad hominem?

My strategy (I only ever buy used, under $10k):

I walk in knowing what I want, and I know the price I want. I tell them my wishes (undershooting my price goal by about 20%), tell them car I want and the price I am willing to pay (noting that I will pay in cash on the spot), and that I will happily walk if they do not…

I think this is about as “accurate” of an answer as you can get for this question. If you’re playing on a 90-ft diamond, you have made it to a stage beyond “I only play baseball because my parents signed me up for it” to “I like the game and I want to get better at it.” Kids playing on a full sized diamond should…

I was a that kid in little league. I got intentionally walked a lot because my team was awful.

I didn’t care. I took it as a sign of respect, but I know my coach got MAD every time it happened.

To be honest, looking back at it from the perspective I have now, I don't think you should intentionally walk UNLESS there is a…

You’re very far off in your analysis of soccer fame.

You're right that Ali wasn't the most famous man in the world.

Oh, and this started because you said Ali is the most famous man on earth.

I don’t even think he’s the most famous person in SPORTS, let alone other areas like religion (the Pope, the Dalai Lama, etc), politics (POTUS, Margaret Thatcher, etc), business (Bill Gates), entertainment (McCartney, Oprah, Bono, etc).

There are…

Ali wasn’t the most famous athlete of all time. He’s certainly up there, but athletics were not nearly so global in Ali’s day (even though he transcended athletics, others have done the same).

No matter how you want to measure it, Jordan trumped Ali in “fame,” despite the fact that his sport barely cracks the top 10…

You don’t understand what the word “excuse” means, apparently. At no point in this entire post has ANYONE (let alone the OP of the string you replied to) tried to EXCUSE the behavior of the pickup driver.

No one is saying it is fine that he did what he did. What everyone with a brain IS saying is that had the Nissan…

I'm not sure how I would handle being berated by an officer holding an ice cream cone, haha

That is all.
