Yes and it was his phone that they had hacked.  

I mean...of anyone in the MLB, Verlander especially has the right to be super protective over who has access to his cell phone information.

I was sitting in the right field stands at Nats park back when he was playing for the Cardinals. The stadium was quiet because it had been a fairly uneventful game, and I’d had a lot to drink, so I decided to heckle him.

For a tangentially related sports angle, here’s Mark Cuban working at a Dairy Queen in 2002.

Weird. That’s exactly how I fielded every ball in Little League and I could never catch one.

The Detroit Lions are sore losers even in articles where they aren’t the topic. Now that’s on-point marketing for you.  You can’t buy bad publicity like that; you have to charge for it.

Surprising to see him get the sack as an edge rusher; usually Peace comes from within.

Or you could clap and give him a standing ovation for the entertainment he provided you and thank him for “his service”, if we’re going to keep using military terms.  Unless the only reason they’re mad is because they bought season tickets to resell them on StubHub and now their investment is worth less.  In which…

I totally agree. If you’re a fan of Andrew Luck and the Colts and you hear that he’s retiring with no context then you’re going to have a pretty emotional reaction to that. But if you want to boo him after he’s gone up to the podium and explains through tears his heart wrenching decision then you’re an asshole.

Luck’s choice didn’t happen in a vacuum.  How the Colts handled/mishandled his injuries are relevant to his health and this choice.

Oddly enough I suspect Grigson did his part to keep his local Applebees in business.

Ryan Grigson should have been running an Evansville Applebee’s into the ground rather than a generational quarterback talent.

The only thing I can think of is they thought since she was drunk, she deserved whatever happened to her. I went looking for earlier articles to see if there was ANYTHING they could have been told that would muddy the case at all.

No, no, there was not. Everything is worse. After Cleaves finished with her, the victim…

I’ve been on two juries. Both experiences convinced me never to do anything that would put me at the mercy of the judgment of my peers, because the shit people SAY back there...

I wonder if they wore their MSU gear in the courtroom. 

I hate it when I have to chase those obnoxious, belligerent, remorseful drunks down in the parking lot and drag them kicking and screaming back to my bed.

they saw this and he was still acquitted. jurors are trash, straight up trash

Counter-counterpoint: he’s pretty mediocre, and you only think he’s good because United’s alternatives are Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.

NFL: “Let’s make games unwatchable by having teams wear uniforms that are entirely one of their team colors.”

Witness testimony is usually the weakest, most error prone evidence.
