Durant is also a no-neck guy, like Elton Brand. If Durant had a Chris Bosh neck, he’d be 7'1".

Thank god Gladwell is out there on the cutting edge of human understanding teaching us that a lot of times it’s hard to tell when someone is lying and that people in power often get away with crimes.

Point is, whether McQuery was scared or intimiated or stupid or a coward, all of those options are better explanations for what happened than “Truth-Default Theory.”

Fair, but I think there is something serious going on with Brown - like, CTE kind of serious.

Chomsky was careful and he suffered a much more significant backlash. Obviously, passions were much higher at the time.

I remember living through the 9-11 aftermath. Noam Chomsky made those very same points thoughtfully and with civility, and it didn’t matter.

They look like the weird outfits our poor athletes have to wear at Olympic opening ceremonies.

And you all wonder how we ended up with Trump. SMDH...

These are very unconvincing arguments.

But dude, she was kind of annoying, didn’t you get the joke? This is very funny. She kind of sucks, and he murdered her with a harpoon probably.

Yeah man, that’s a good write up. I agreed with a lot of what you wrote. I told my wife that this felt like a Twilight Zone episode blown up into 2.5 hours. There was maaaaaybe and entertaining hour in there.

So, someone asked David Carradine, the guy who got to be the lead in Kung-Fu instead of Bruce Lee 100% due to racism, whether he could beat Mike Tyson on a talk show in the 80's.
