The lack of response, to you or other people in this thread who respectfully questioned the person’s veracity without directly refuting his allegation, leads me to think that was just troll-talk.

I thought the Phillies’ decline began when they traded all their farm prospects to other teams to capitalize on a championship window, and when that window closed, the veterans they traded for/extended to onerous contracts began breaking down.

“Matt Damon Says It Was Painful to be Ben Affleck’s Friend...While He Was Dating J Lo[...Because He Was Consistently Attacked in the Media]”

Did you really get “racism” or “classism” from that? I saw it as “while my friend was dating a woman, he was repeatedly slammed in the media for bad film choices and perhaps his public persona at the time of buying into his own shit as a Hollywood player.” He said nothing about Lopez herself; it’s like “Guy Ritchie…

Coordination and balance in an awkward position? “If you can dribble against wall, you can dribble anywhere.”

To be fair, 4 seconds is the equivalent of 2 minutes in Troll Standard Time

Also, since you’ve established that players are already paid, what’s wrong with paying them more?

all “big brother” senses point to protecting her from the inevitable laziness that weed brings

“That’s not a red card...this is a red card.”

Premature exasperation

Yeah, that was pretty weird. It’s a clown team, bro.

Seven loops. 9,000 G-forces. A burning track. And a 400-foot leap over a pit of real lava. This fall, at Six Flags, dare to untangle ... the False Binary.

I honestly think the buttfumble was an issue of circumstance, in that Sanchez wasn’t looking ahead of him, and if he held onto the ball, it would have been just a clumsy play. Whereas Marshall definitely intended to do something amazingly stupid, and then did. The factor of intention makes his fumble much more of a…

Kind of hard to make the reversal on replay. It may seem almost very clearly that his hand was still on the ball, but with such an obvious, and then executed, intention to throw the ball away, the bang-bang nature of the move made it hard to reverse the call of a fumble. I agree though, seemed like he was down with…

Suspending Harper for “his role in the incident” is like the NFL suspending Janay Rice for being in the way of Ray Rice’s fist.

Yeah true, I thought serviceable for sure. But the way he was talked about in that Face in the Crowd section, it was like the Second Coming of Montana, and things just didn’t turn out so well.

Haha totally remember that. Total fuckboy move before that was even a “thing”

That’s it! Thanks for the reminder!

I remember when Clausen was in that section of Sports Illustrated that was dedicated to blurbs about high school athletes. (Something like “Stars of the Future”—definitely not that, but something along those lines.) I was really excited to see him at Notre Dame. That experience taught me to never be excited about…

Guys guys, the important thing is, they’re both winners. And somehow, they’re also both losers at the same time.
