You’re right, you aren’t assuming the things I say; you’re stating them as gospel truth. (“What Hinkie is doing sucks even if fans defend it”—that is not an assumption, that is a presumption based on your own theory of basketball team-building.)

Evan Turner pounding the air out of the ball before launching an awkward midrange jumper was A DELIGHT! PURE BASKETBALL BLISS!

But one basis for your argument is “I don’t like the product they’re putting out; therefore it sucks.” And the impression that I get is that you are appealing to the fans, like we need that paternalism. We know what’s going on. We understand the risks. We like tracking these guys’ development (or lack thereof in MCW’s…

I’m a huge fan of the NFL. I just understand that Goodell has collectively bargained ultimate power, and I think this whole crapshow is trying to steal eyeballs away from a pretty exciting baseball season. Instead of weighing those pros and cons, go find something better to do with your time.

I have seen asterisked corrections in the article texts across the Gawker platform. Call it what you will, seems like hiding.

You should probably root for your family, or other hobbies/interests you enjoy, and let these “men” spend their time having a pissing contest about the size of their balls.

As a Sixers fan, I don’t mind the dissent, but I mind the vitriol. I don’t know if the plan will work out. I want to see it through, and if it doesn’t work, then apparently another GM should be able to turn a terrible team into a playoff contender in 2 years by signing the Josh Smith ilk of free agents, or it seems…

Right, because Nerlens Noel is just a bum, and the Sixers would be much better off with Evan Turner isokilling every possession with his Big 10 style. Much of this argument is based on Saric never joining the Sixers, but hey, at least you asterisked your incorrect statement ot a comment that no one will probably read,…

Totally dig it. You can’t let them strongarm you into something you don’t believe in on threat of violence. That is almost literally the definition of terrorism.

“It represents freedom.” To own slaves. Which is in no way ironic or dissonant at all.

I was just getting pretty rambly on a comment, but you captured my sentiment perfectly. I actually had a big discussion/argument with some people this weekend because I think it’s just a cosmetic change, but albeit, one that hopefully would lead to actually progress in peoples’ minds.

Maybe it’s just me, being wildly insensitive to human lives and government oppression, but sounds like replacing Mubarak with a military junta. At least it’s not the last guy, but are you really that much better off?

Light years, I’d say. The info is probably floating around somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy

Unintelligibles from paragraph 2:

As long as you can touch one person, then your life has meaning.

Misinterpreting the meaning of “making it rain”

I don’t know what madness led you to find this, but I’m glad you did. Best line from the description: “thanks to the fact that RBI Baseball is played on not grass but green ice, the ball can make it all the way to the outfield”

Mystery Science Theater 3000 had a sketch where Crow starts a syndicated newspaper column “inspired by Larry King’s column in USA Today.” That parody is virtually indistinguishable from these tweets.

Honestly thought it was a parody at first. Not sure if you’re a Mystery Science Theater fan, but they did a parody sketch that is almost identical to these musings

One can only dream.
