This just doesn't sound like something the Patriots would do.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot" is this season's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Great tactic actually. If history has told us anything about Kobe, it's that first comes the assault, then comes the ring.

I fully understand the "I Can't Breathe" shirts. I understand the "die ins" being staged. These are protests with meaning & purpose. But "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" didn't happen. It's a phony catch phrase being peddled, suggesting a young innocent man was executed. It's a terrible lie, and it detracts from the good work…

Nice selective number picking there. You mean 16/28, a number of which had testimony that directly conflicted with the physical evidence.

Do you think at some point Eric Garner's family will be tired of having him lumped in with Michael Brown, who by all accounts was a violent felon who had just committed a crime and who tried to steal an officer's gun (albeit a seemingly unfit, arrogant, and trigger happy officer), whereas Garner was choked out in the…

I can't breathe protests make sense. That actually happened, and was super fucked up. Hands Up Don't Shoot protests don't make sense to me. All the evidence points to the fact that Michael Brown just didn't have his hands up. I don't get why this cause has to conflate the two.

Oh I didn't know you were an activist.

Good article - though perhaps part of the reason that Japan's secret weapons are relatively unknown is because most of them are pretty unremarkable by the technical standards of the time. There's nothing on this list that the US or USSR would not have been capable of producing, probably to a higher standard and in…

Left out the best one.

I use some of Peter Gammons' tweets to break the ice at bars sometimes.... The girls always just think I'm having a stroke though...

I can't understand how you gave this film a D.

"... paints the Old Testament God as an angry, petulant child willing to murder hundreds of thousands of people because he's impatient and bored."

This really depends on the broadcasters as to whether they'll support this. Many broadcasters offer live streaming on their websites (ABC.com, CBS.com, History.com, fxnetworks.com, etc) if you are signed in to your (or, ahem, you parent's/friend's/friend's parent's/etc) TV provider, and so it'd make sense to have an…

For the record, I tried cardboard and it was pretty terrible. Awful, really. I also have a DK2, and while it shows promise, it was certainly not ready for the world. That being said, I will definitely be buying the Rift when it finally comes out, as I try to stay on top of that genre of technology. Did I mention how…

See, I think this whole "Red Sox blew it" narrative is asinine. It's good copy, but it reflects a near complete understanding of how contract negotiations actually work.

I am sick of people saying "the wrong side of thirty." There is nothing wrong ...

I love that instead of looking at disaster contracts like the Matt Cain deal and having the market correct itself, everybody says "well that's the cost of doing business." 6 years is a long time for a 31 year old.

Not that anyone asked or cares about my opinion, but we really need a six team playoff with the 2 highest seeds getting a first week bye. The first five playoff births go to the power 5 conference champions. The sixth is picked by the committee as well as the seeding. That way it's possible to get Notre Dame in so…
