Nobody will ever face any real consequences for this.

Oh, that makes it even funnier - the context was a conference call with the company’s PR firm trying to address how they would repair the company’s image from his *previous* racist comments. This clown is so tone-deaf he thought that of all contexts was the time to bring out that stuff again to prove just how horrific…

I do believe the USA finished this World Cup undefeated, thank you very much.

The problem is, a team from a conference of minnows may have something like a 29-4 record going into their conference tournament. If they win their tournament, they get in anyway, and if they don’t win their tournament, that means they now have a 5th loss, one that is almost certainly to a team much lower in the…

Conference USA and the Sun Belt, for instance, ranked 15th and 21st among the 32 conferences in average RPI last season, respectively. This was not due to losing the games they played.

It’s perfectly fine within the context it was used. It’s also factual.

The point is not “people being too mentally and emotionally immature to hear it”. The point is that it’s incredibly inappropriate in any workplace setting to use that word or that example to illustrate any point you’re trying to make, let alone when the occasion is *a PR crisis call about how you can repair your image…

I’m just really confused how Courtois views tactics and good teams in football in general.

They don’t take action? They ignore it?

Probably both? If you’re a Ukrainian nationalist for whatever reason, you’re probably pretty pissed off at Putin for literally stealing part of your country and funding a years-long guerrilla war to try to steal more of it.

I’ve watched the movie several times - if the movie ever mentioned specifically the fertility crisis was women’s fault, I must have missed it. All I recall was “women stopped getting pregnant”, the cause of which could be anything.

Regardless, Drew is far more right than the book is. Modern society would utterly…

Oh, this is the guy who wrote the Starr Report and spent the 90s loudly telling everyone that Clinton clearly committed impeachable obstruction of justice by lying and trying to not testify. He’s not even an obsequious toady to power-hungry presidents, he’s an obsequious toady to power-hungry *Republican* presidents…

This is the other pernicious effect of the way the NBA cap and escalating repeater tax are set up - at a certain point, if an owner doesn’t think they’re one of the favorites for next year’s title, it’s really really hard to justify paying $50M+ a year in extra money just in tax payments for very marginal…

Yeah, I think all or nearly all of the dozen or so Steam games I’ve enjoyed the most over the past year have been early access. So many really good titles you can get for $15-20 that give 100+ hours of playtime and keep getting better month after month for years for free, and so many $40+ games that you just feel…

I don’t understand why even the best players let every contract negotiation turn into something insanely byzantine. If Rodgers wanted he could just demand 4 years/$110M fully-guaranteed, no incentives, no bonuses, just a simple contract like so many other sports have. Other all-pro level players could too, and…

If you actually read the article, what Smart seems to be most upset about is that there hasn’t even been any communication with Ainge. Of course Ainge isn’t going to overpay a guy he doesn’t have to, but it would certainly be in the interests of maintaining team chemistry to, ya know, talk to your players and explain…

Did you seriously just link four different tweets all from the same “forums.realgm.com” link you were reading, not bother to scrub the linking info telling us that, and claim them all as “multiple refuting sources” when most of them are just slightly different rewords of the same report?

They had 29% possession in that loss and spent roughly the entire second half barely hanging on to a draw by their fingernails, and even when up a man couldn’t hang on the ball for longer than three seconds at a time. They simply don’t have very many great players and are only alive because of a 1-0 own-goal win…

I feel like people are being a little hyperbolic. Cousins isn’t even going to play most of the season, may not ever be remotely the same player he was, and has notable repeated locker room issues. For all we know he won’t actually provide much more value to them next year than Kendrick Perkins would have. The Rockets,…

The Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead will always, always be funny. I’m ungreying this just so we can laugh at it again.
