Why does everyone keep saying Philly is good and was a reasonable landing spot?  They have a tall point guard with short arms who can’t shoot, a regular point guard who can’t shoot, and a versatile center who got very exposed in the playoffs.  There’s no there there.

About that study...

With the confidence the NFL feels that this will simply go away, I almost wonder if the NFL paid the woman off, too. Like, if they gave her $250,000 not to sue or file criminal charges.

Seriously...how this asshole isn’t straight up in jail is beyond me. Meanwhile Colin Kaepernick, who is outright a better QB than Winston to boot, sits at home because he took a stand for something meaningful that brought negative press.

Oh, I understand the civics portion clearly and evidently. My problem isn’t with the process your suggesting, it’s with this;

He’s only missed the 2017 season so far, so 16.  But if you count the wasted years under Tomsula and Kelly, 48.

How many games is the kneeling suspension up to now? 56?

Any article that quotes Glenn Greenwald without prefacing it with “look at this stupid motherfucker” should be immediately deleted.

The NFL Did a Deal with Jameis Winston, Won’t Do a Deal with Colin Kaepernick

Gotta love how the argument about how Obama is to blame here is that he didn’t do the thing that would’ve been easily undone the second the Republicans got their shit together. And I’m laughing at the idea that Republicans would’ve been scared to remove a black woman from a position of power. What universe are these

Ask any kid who’s been bullied in school and tell them they should just ignore their tormentors.

I think the advice is good when only applied to direct interactions, like someone calling you (specifically, not generally) a moron on the interwebz. Not that this is an easy thing to do, but it is good if it can be. You can certainly react to the words, but control the reaction rather than letting the reaction

The very act of sliding into a base on a double play attempt (again, the title of the subset of the rule) means that you are already retired. Otherwise it isn’t a double play attempt. By the very definition of the title, the player is already out.

You see that funny looking (j) attached to Rule 6.01? That’s a subset of the rule specifically detailing what is and isn’t permissible while, as the title suggests “Sliding to Bases on Double Play Attempts”.

What the fuck would a Met know about playing anything the right way?

I hope the kid gets back out there and started selling bottled water with the label “Patty’s Tears”. I’ll buy one and pay to have it shipped to me across the country

“I apologize for this next part because I am utterly disgusted by this word, ​but it ​is a DIRECT QUOTE and the only way I can properly explain what he said next. He said...”

Wait... J.S. isn’t even in the conversation?

White people gentrifying areas like this want to live around other people w/o having to actually live around other people . They want this kind of ‘colorful’, social, convenient atmosphere but they want to have absolute control over it; like, clap on-clap off type control. On Monday, the popular, friendly ethnic food

It infuriates me when a guy gets tossed or somebody gets a tech because somebody said something that hurts a ref’s fee-fees. Nobody is there to play Respect Authorityball. Although the more I stew on it, the more I think it’s a manifestation of society’s lust for CRACKING DOWN or some shit. Like, feathers are all
