To be honest, I feel the “possible future legal action” response is the BEST response they have right now, at least to the question of why did they cut him. If AB fields a grievance, it makes total sense, and only someone standing on moral ceremony would hold them too much at fault (similar to that misguided article…

If you have a blase response to this, that’s your own prerogative. Other people care about the message it sends when a sexual assault allegation is not enough to stop a player from scoring a touchdown, but “embarrassing texts” are. And if not for the pressure of the press covering the ongoing shitstorm, there might…

All very true, but I don’t think this is a case of people acting like “this [is] a mystery”; more like calling it out each time it happens. On a (generally) much more important front, you know every time Trump opens his mouth, he’s going to lie. But you call it out every time, even if you know it isn’t going to change…

There’s a good likelihood they lose the case anyway. They have language in the contract that allows them to cut him, but he’s likely to argue that there’s no provision in the CBA to justify withholding the signing bonus, and he has a strong case.

This is one of the many cases where the evasion and subterfuge cause more of an issue than there would be if they just answered honestly or directly. They want to bury the story and end up creating a whole new element to the story, somewhat akin to the Streisand effect.

If its so simple, why don’t they just say that instead of hemming and hawing and stonewalling?

Tap a QB on the head? That’s 15 yards, tough guy.

Just imagine if he gotten tapped on the helmet while trying to throw the ball! Why, such savagery does not belong in this sport!

And we started from our hotel in the FQ! At least we stumbled into a street parade halfway there, and then another street festival after the initial disappointment. 

We have a whole presidential administration that provides a blueprint for how to deny truth.

Well, maybe if it were Neymar...

I’m return favor, continue good human communication, yes?

Wow, this is truly an Olympic-level long jump of logic.

Once again, a soccer story that ends with no scoring.

“I won’t answer any questions about any off the field issues.”

He started Brown with the accusations plainly known, so it’s completely fair to ask him questions about Brown’s status and role going forward, as well as about the culture he is cultivating with the decision he makes around using players in such compromising positions, which were the general bases of the questions he…

I usually wouldn’t have, but my girlfriend and I were trying to go to Willie Mae’s, except it was closed on Sunday, and we just happened upon Parkway after a looooong walk in the hot sun to find something else to eat. And then she got sick by the time we finally got to the front of the line. It was damn near a…

Man, Serby slathered enough extra dipshit on his haughty dipshit column to deplete the New York metropolitan area for at least 12 seconds.

Probably the only place in the world that I would say was almost worth standing in an hour+ line for.

I’m just going to assume that everyone taking the headline/thesis seriously has never read anything on this site before.
