Isn’t it already reviewed? Every targeting call gets reviewed by the booth to see if the player should be ejected or not.

I disagree. They’re trying to change behavior and have to be a bit draconian otherwise these meatheads won’t learn anything.

So give every player two chances to seriously injure someone? Ridiculous

Diana’s very good at what she does. My problem is with the nature of bloggers in general. The old journalistic firewall between reporting and editorializing is gone. Now you have folks like Diana who both report facts and give opinions. Perhaps I’m old fashioned, but I don’t like it. I can’t trust someone to report…

And then we all got annoyed that Jennifer Lawrence seemed like she wasn’t trying because she was trying too hard to not be trying too hard. I feel like our pop culture cycle is just ruthless to female talent.

I still don’t get why people hated her for that acceptance speech. It wasn’t any more maudlin than other Oscar speeches I’ve heard.

My good friend from college had smoked pot with her once because HER bestie happened to have Hathaway as a roommate when Hathaway was doing the college thing post princess diaries. And she said she was so nice and real and funny and self-deprecating. When all the hathahating started, I couldn’t get my friends very…

she didn’t deserve any of the hate she got. we made fun of her for being thirsty for an oscar when everyone in the industry is. why did she get singled out?

Obama forever!!!

Then the primary loser needs to watch more House of Cards. The VP is one bad avocado away from the most powerful office in the world.

yeah, totally possible, though I’d like to think that at best, that’s a fringe movement from either side and without any military backing, they wouldn’t get terribly far.

I know this is not a new/original comments, but I want to point out again: we are at the same time constantly mocking the NFL for its inability to do anything right, ESPECIALLY mete out consistent punishments for incidents on- and off-the-field, yet we still demand that it gives us some measure of extralegal justice.

I’m surprised she’s still with Deadspin. One of the few writers on the gawker sites I would refer to as a journalist.

Diana Moskovitz is a treasure. Her reporting on the legal issues tranversing professional sports and the system are excellent.

If you’re calling Eminem a talentless hack, you know absolutely nothing about hip hop. Maybe he says some shit that rubs people the wrong way, but he has undeniable talent, spanning over a 20+ year career.

I mean, they make fun of Ali’s Parkinson’s disease, hoses being turned on black people protesting, Jordan’s father being shot, and various other controversies in just the two videos you named yet you are upset about that? Come on.

Please leave dead baby jokes—often hilarious—out of this sordid conversation.

he’s better than freddy adu, right?

That’s the truly puzzling part of all of this. The NFL could very easily just take a position that they aren’t going to punish any criminal behavior by their employees at all. Instead they could just say “hey, he served his sentence / was cleared by the courts, if you are upset about the leniency, take it up with the…

Pulisic needs to stay where he will play. It’s too soon for him to go to Barca.
