Yup. My girlfriend and I met through just casually hooking up; we were explicitly non-exclusive for a little while; when we went exclusive I stressed to her that I would probably want to eventually open things back up to at least some extent; and she still gets visibly emotional every time I mention it.

Washington’s old black-and-gold jerseys originated as a third jersey.

This game has been substantially more entertaining than I would have ever guessed.

Perhaps this is just my experience, but when tragedy strikes the world writ large I don’t put my entire life on hold—I would never expect someone to extend my country the same courtesy. If the boys wanted to go spend their unexpected off day at a pub.

The end product of that work—that would be winning—isn’t always within your control

Your reading comprehension seems a bit shaky, so allow me to highlight the relevant part of the story that you’ve mangled.

The only way the stadium scam will ever be stopped cold is if politicians everywhere simultaneously decide sports leagues don’t deserve handouts.

Of course, the year spent out of the game could just as easily be a selling point for Rice, who can plausibly argue that he’s fully healthy in a way that guys who played last season can’t.

The family only has to show that, more likely than not, Stewart’s negligence (i.e., failing to act reasonably to prevent harm to another) contributed to cause the death.

New York also has an assumption of risk doctrine for organized sports, so Ward’s survivors will have to show that Stewart was reckless rather than merely negligent. A nontrivial hill to climb.

I sincerely doubt this makes it to a jury. The sensible legal strategy is to file to have the case dismissed on the pleadings, then to go for summary judgment. I’ll be remarkably surprised if the case is dismissed as a matter of law on such a filing, but if it does somehow survive to a trial phase it will just be…
