While I am generally not in favor of shit talking even bad people in death, I’m also not interested in bullshitting when it came to Ailes. He was far, far more than “a strong GOP guy” who sexually harassed a few women. There is a reason that the modern GOP completely and totally lost it’s mind right around the year…

So your standard is “if a player got hurt, that must mean it was dirty?” Even in slo-mo, where things generally look worse than they are, you can clearly see Ovi let up at the end of both of those hits and contact primarily with his shoulder. Werenski could see him coming and it was a pretty light check by NHL…

Name another instance where one country has lobbed bombs at the military of another country and hasn’t been referred to as an act of war.

Your evidence needs to be greater than “by process of elimination, they PROBABLY did it!” if you are attempting to justify a unilateral strike against a foreign government’s military.

ThomasLaid might be the most aggressively, hostile stupid person I’ve debated this issue with thus far. “Yeah, who WOULD liberals support resettling and accepting refugees into their country BUT OPPOSE bombing that same country?? Seems suspicious to me!”

Shorter version of what you’re saying: “WE GOTTA START KILLING PEOPLE AND DROPPING BOMBS TO PREVENT THE KILLING OF PEOPLE AND THE DROPPING OF BOMBS!”

“Imagine” is all that you will do. If we had never invaded Iraq or toppled Libya, assholes like you would today be painting a wonderful, peace-loving counterfactual where all your bombs would have led to good, positive outcomes that we could predict and control.

The “hard-left” as you call them are not nor have they ever been the main force behind the “Trump is a Russian stooge” narrative. That has been helmed up by the neoliberal warhawk Clintonian branch of the Democratic Party, of which I assume you count yourself a member.

I cannot believe that someone itching the repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Libya is accusing others of not looking at the reality of a situation.

It’s impossible that you are this passionate about a subject you apparently know little to nothing about. Owens was straight up cut or released in his prime by multiple teams. He was suspended and forced to apologize by Andy Reid for talking shit about in Donovan McNabb in an interview, he publicly suggested his 49ers…

Hmm, yes....

Quick question: how many stories has Deadspin broke about about the apocalyptic, world-ending, democracy-destroying Donald Trump presidency in the past three months? Now compare that number with the number of pieces from Deadspin writers bitching other news organizations out for not meeting their oh so…

Sigh. That was not your original argument, nor was it what I was responding to. You were making a moral argument that players shouldn’t be expected to deal with pushing past pain and injury to do what is best for the team’s chances of winning, but that happens ALL THE TIME in sports, especially one as brutal as…

Nah. I mean yes, every time a team makes a decision and it doesn’t work, there are a certain number of idiots who will criticize it and say you should have done the opposite, but there is zero question that the right move strategically was to run the ball and kick the field goal.

The benefits of running:

-Lowers the…

And I don’t blame the injured players. Simple clock management by Kyle Shanahan would have put the Pats in a nigh unwinnable situation with or without the injury timeouts.

Fair enough, but calm down with the intensity and virtue signaling, please. These are all consenting adults and this is a sport where a player once amputated his finger to get back on the field. Safe to say that they view dealing with pain and injury in a different light than you or I.

.

Stop. You’re acting like he is a Nazi advocating ethnic cleansing. Football is a sport where regularly dealing with pain and injuries is a fact of life. You deal with them as compassionately as you can, but in the waning minutes of the Super Bowl when you’re trying to run out the clock, asking a player to get off the…

I am a grown up 32 year old Caps fan with a wife, child and decades of cynicism born from following DC sports teams. Your post made me want to break down and cry, if only because it accurately captures my emotional mindset as a Caps fan. It’s the kind of mindset where your team demolishes every other top flight team…

Because one of the funny things about journalism is that simply by publishing something, you give it veracity and credibility in the minds of readers. After all, if it didn’t have some truth to it, why would they be publishing it and why am I reading it? This is how smears, innuendo and deceit get promulgated by…

Yeah totally. Glenn Greenwald (a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who made his bones vehemently criticizing the Bush administration) is a hack and FUCKING BUZZFEED is a paragon of journalistic courage and integrity.
