I think a valuable thought exercise would be for you to pretend that you are me, and pretend that you did not read every piece of information available about the high profile rape case involving your favorite team’s best player (also, at the time, your favorite player!). Do you think that the conclusion you would come…

i’m ok with that

Yes, it takes a lot of guts to admit a rape didn’t happen. Sorry about my lack of guts.

I mean, I’m not really “spouting off” about anything. I listed his name among possible rapists/abusers and you and another guy that likes Patrick Kane too much to consider that he could have done something wrong got mad about it.

It is bigger than just sports, think about Bill Cosby. At what point does an entertainer’s real life change their entertainment? I enjoyed watching Kobe play, I laughed at Cosby’s jokes, does this make me a bad person? I don’t think either are role models, but I find both entertaining.

I have been having this half-though a lot lately: being a good person can be hard when you’re a big sports fan. Like, once the Cubs got Daniel Murphy, I just stopped watching them. I was sickened that they acquired a person like that. When the blog post about Addison Russell came out, I stopped bothering to check the…

Oh wait, he was “envisioning” when he closed his eyes. I get jokes.

Or he could start Jameis and let Khalil Mack and the Bears defense solve the problem for him. 

2-3 years ago I wouldn’t have been able to fathom not watching the Cubs in the playoffs but fuck them and the type of people they enable. Fuckers.

Hey back off, I drink Bud Light and I moved downtown from the suburbs almost 2 years ago.

YES! My husband understands the tweezers hierarchy as:
1. The GOOD tweezers. MY tweezers. They were hand milled in England and were designed to put together dollhouse miniatures. I won’t even tell him where they are.
2. The back-up good tweezers that have been lost for 6 months but I still hold out hope they can be…

I think you know what I’m getting at.

Man, are you are going to be SHOCKED when I tell you who won the Cup last season.

“Great Moments in Poop History” eventually just became “Long, Boring & Fake Stories About Pooping”

Yes it also doesn’t help that this is the first game I’ve cared/been excited about since, I guess, that division title game that Rodgers also tore our hearts out?

I don’t really understand posting things about Hinkie with the underlying “get a load of this fucking weirdo” tone. Like, I understand people’s issues with The Process, and I don’t really disagree. I get that he’s an odd guy. But unless I’m missing something, his main crimes seem to be doing a bad job of being a GM…

They just HAD to sign a legitimate generational player on defense and a fun WR with actual WR1 talent and prevent me from ignoring the team entirely, just so I could get my hopes up for one half of football before...well, you know

There may be some recency bias here, but I don’t think I’ve ever been more depressed by a Bears game, and it’s probably because a part of me knows that it ruined what was otherwise an awesome Sunday of football. Like, 2 days later and I am still completely inconsolable.

I was kind of waiting for the more profound point here until I realized that this article is literally just about semantics (which I guess I could have realized had I read the headline). But anyway I filed this away and continued on with my day, when not 15 minutes did I have the opportunity to use the word “jealous”…

And if someone gives you feedback, not taking offense to it, worrying about if they’re trying to take your job or are jealous of you, etc. It’s wild how coaching egos seem to be like if TO-on-the-star level at even skill positions.
