I think Bochy often overmanages and is too clever for his own good, but I give him a pass on this one. Even if Bumgarner wanted to stay in the game and bat the next inning (which I doubt), Bochy’s not going to run him up to the plate when there is a 100% the Dodgers throw the first pitch right at his ribs, Bumgarner…

“Nobody look! Nobody look!”

Not as worthless as your bullpen trying to protect a lead! ZING!

Ahh, the classic “CNN” balance fallacy. As applied to sports!

Sure. But it’s easy to give some range of possibilities, e.g. a partial tear is x weeks, a full tear is y weeks, etc. And helps the reader, which is generally the goal when you’re aggregating news.

Hey, that seems like some good info that should be in the article. Have you thought about being a reporter/columnist? Cause you seem to have a better handle on the whole informing reader thing than Samer does.

Not sure how that relates to the First Amendment. That quote is from the Fifth Amendment and it basically means that the military can put a serviceperson is prison without full due process while the country is at war. Nothing to do with the First Amendment.

That is what you say when your argument is fucking terrible and deep down you know it.

Agreed. The later is much more powerful.

And the best part is that the original post was 100% accurate. The Marine is wearing a hat and he didn’t take it off during the national anthem. It’s almost as if symbolic acts rely on context for meaning.

I feel like there is some famous quote about standing up at the first instance and not looking the other way, or something like that.

!!!Pedantry alert!!!

We can only hope that a new Court will have the opportunity to consign that runt of a doctrine to the waste bin. Or at least follow the Third Circuit’s lead and limit it to cases that implicate fundamental rights - i.e., voting, speech, firearms, etc.

The entire premise of this article is fundamentally flawed.

You can still hate them for being dicks about this whole situation. They could easily modify the contract to allow NBC to use Tirico on Thursday. Just because they don’t have to does not mean they can’t or shouldn’t. I don’t have to call Goodell a giant stain on humanity’s existence, but it would be wrong if I didn’t.

Cool. Three man booth. Not NBC’s fault if Al Michaels happens to come down with laryngitis each Thursday evening, which mysteriously infects Tirico just hours before the Sunday evening game kicks-off.

I agree to the extent the league shouldn’t be changing strategies about positioning. But if you want to start enacting rules to speed up the pace of the game, I’m all for that.

The ACLU has a handy app that allows you to record and upload video directly. It also comes with a bunch of jurisdiction-specific information about what you can and cannot record and what the police can and cannot legally do in situations.

And one might assume that given his BFF relationships with all things LaRoche, Sale should have been perfectly at ease wearing pre-integration uniforms.

It’s almost as if he was fighting for his own interests in playing four football games and not for broad workers’ protections against management. Quelle suprise.

Make America Great, Tommy.
