Phillipe Reines’ job was to get good press for Hillary Clinton during the election. Hard to argue that he wasn’t historically terrible at his job. Unless his book is titled “I Fucked Up: Why nobody should hire me or take me seriously,” I don’t know why anyone should care.

It seems entirely possible that the NYT was biased against Clinton and that Clinton’s aides were sexist assholes to female reporters from the NYT. I’m not sure what the tapes are supposed to show unless he recorded every single interaction he had with Chozick.

Seemed like? Nothing “seemed” about it. They were, are, and will forever be cultish as fuck, no matter what goes on up there. I live just over an hour away from State College, I’ve had more than several dozen WTF? moments with people going off their nut trying to defend everything that went down in the direct…

I wish someone would do a write up on how much of a cult penn state seemed like after the Joe P./Sandusky incident.

Now see this just doesn’t make any sense. Wouldn’t you *want* a Crisis Actor to run your offense during crunch time?

Tough fucking shit. He’s a coach. Talking to the press after a game is a part of why he makes more than $2.5M a year.

You might be right as it comes to the actions of the players, but Hamilton makes 43k a week(2mil+ annually)to answer for his duties which include post-game interviews so I think.he can answer a question or two.

Other men apparently do not suffer from the same motivated blindness you do.

Hmm, maybe it is because people discount opinions of women so she felt the need to validate the question with something the coach might find more valid than the soft woman who never played the game.

Because it was only when she referenced that other men were asking the same question that she was that he actually gave a meaningful answer.

Yes, hugfart, I’m the one who’s easily offended.

Counterpoint: The Boondock Saints was never a good movie.

I think the thing that can make him fun—super fun, in fact!—to watch is to view the stuff he does in those interminable seconds after he catches the ball but before he either shoots it or passes not as (or not always as) aimless noodling: Oftentimes, he’s using all those dribbles and jab steps and head fakes to…

Or get him some teammates who matter!

He’s a very active player; he just doesn’t stand in the place where he works.

If he is 20, I would advise him to go straight to college. I would tell him, don’t go back to Rockville and waste another year.

Coaches are worried that the dude is smarter than they are. They’d rather have a meathead who does what he’s told without asking why. I heard someone in sports media who had talked to front office people about Darnold and Rosen. Coach says run a play a certain way. Darnold will just do it. Rosen will ask why they do…

“He’s super, super smart, but I think it is almost a curse for him,” Dilfer said. “Josh is a guy who has yet to buy into what I am preaching.”

his privileged upbringing means he won’t have the drive to succeed.

Can you unpack why you think the length of time something has been out is a determinative factor? Either a viewer has seen something or they haven't— till they have, it's new to them. People can extend them the courtesy of not discussing surprising developments in the story in front of them before they've seen it,…
