Thanks again for the civil and reasoned response. As I said, I have no interest in rehashing this debate. It will never end. To your points:

Yes. Who is LeGarrette Blount again?

As I mentioned below, Jalopnik and the various subblogs are some of the only places on the Internet where I feel comfortable commenting, and enjoy the (mostly) civil discourse. We can disagree civilly and it doesn't do any harm.

Hmmm, what would be better? "died"? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm starring you because of your civil response, even though I disagree with your conclusion. I thought the evidence inconclusive (and I DO NOT WANT to rehash that debate), and accidents happen in racing. The man is obviously shaken about it (and the hellfire that has breathed on him since the incident). The…

You just knew there would be a #slatepitch involved.

I also think it's a little easier to do with a 12-man roster than a 50-man roster. And it seems like football draws more than its fair share of Big Swinging Dick owners (Jones, Snyder, Haslem, Davis, etc.)

If I were him, I don't know if I could either, given that every time he goes out, the haterz are going to be "He killed a man in cold blood!" all over the place. I don't care a whit about TS either way, except that he's keeping sprint racing going for some racers, but he's always going to be dogged by this now.

So, just like the majority of the writing on Pitchfork?

Cuban still makes some boneheaded moves, but he seems to genuinely be a "players' owner" in a lot of ways. And he tells David Stern to fuck off, so he gets some grace from that.

Like O.J., without the knife.

He is was going to need a bigger wallet.

What is more "halo" for Dodge the Viper or the Hellcat? One of these needs no race connection whatsoever to get people into the showroom

Is it just me or does it look like his defenseman almost swats the puck into the net for an own goal?

"Al Michael and Cris Collinsworth never once mentioned it, or the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty it drew, which seemed like broadcasting malpractice. It was a big moment, and 15 big penalty yards!" That is some fucked up shit. Do your goddamn job, guys!

"They say that there are no truly bad new cars anymore"

So, just curious, how much money do they make on attendance vs. advertising on TV? The Superb Owl has hundreds of millions in TV money even though 70,000-ish attend the game.

That guy at :50 looks so sad.

Hey, I never said blooming onions weren't good. I just don't think it's authentic Australian. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what authentic Australian would be. Hmmm.

ouch! too soon!
