I regret that I have but one star to give to this comment.

Man, I wish I had no idea who he is. Just seeing his name in an article makes me feel like I need to be decontaminated.

If anything, it’s even more terrible.

Seriously, if you’ve never heard of an NFL player supporting their communities, you are actively working at it.

Nobody made you do anything. You chose to stop watching football.

There wasn’t much pushback on it, true, but as someone that was watching it live, I can attest to the fact that it was so incredibly bizarre that I suspected that it was killing brain cells with every word. I’m willing to accept the notion that the effect was just as pronounced if you were there in person.

But there’s no legal logic to this ruling. It’s long been settled law that the police have to tell suspects their constitutional rights, because you can’t expect someone to exercise those rights if they don’t know what they are. It flies in the face of reason to expect that a laymen should somehow know that there’s a…

But Weinstein’s public statement acknowledges his “interactions,” even if it’s weak as hell and doesn’t give specifics. If he admits the behavior, it’s no longer an allegation.

I agree that “the man allegedly robbed a bank” is weak, but I’d go for replacing it with “The officer reported that he saw the suspect rob the bank.”

Headline written by the Department of Redundancy Department.

“If guilt comes to a party because of this reporting, it’s not the fault of the reporting institution for failing to give them a presumption of innocence.”

I’d actually go with “Lysette Anthony Accuses Harvey Weinstein of Sexually Assaulting Her in the ‘80s”. Unfortunately, nothing has changed about the fact that drama sells papers, and accuses is a little stronger than says.

Actually, a person who was innocent of the crime is the perfect example. “Alleged” and similar phrasing isn’t to protect the Harvey Weinsteins of the world. It’s only partially to cover the paper’s ass.

Yeah, AC made it official about 5 years ago. Even got married a while back.

He was a 14-year-old kid that went to a party with a friend. He probably didn’t want to ruin anyone else’s good time just because he was bored.

Holy crap, how did I miss that? I got some friends that got some ‘splaining to do, not passing on that little tidbit.

Oddly, it’s not something that’s been talked about much in the gossip pages. No lovers selling their vacation pictures to the Inquirer, no paparazzi photos of him with a date, nothing. He’s always treated like some mystical asexual being; the rags for some reason I’ve never understood actually respected his request…

I think we should start listing the religious traditions we want to steal from everyone else so that we can all be ready to celebrate appropriately next year.

That would be OK, too.

Lemme know if you need any help. I’ve always wanted to be a sidekick.
