To you name calling is the best way to get a point across, so that's what I did. Also, now you're calling me names. So I guess we're on even level now.

Actually I'm not gonna calm down. This is an issue that I take very seriously.

I hope you know that all that yelling is going to come back to haunt you when your teenager gets out of the house. The saddest part is that you're probably proud of it.

I hope that you're trolling, but this is if you are serious:

If you work in higher ed, you should understand the importance of leadership skills. Clearly you don't, which begs the question of how in the ever loving fuck you got a higher ed job in the first place.

Yeah no, generally they can't. There are some situations in which a player (they aren't kids) just decides that it's not worth it and walks away, but generally players either are too beholden to poor financial situations or too trapped by a twisted sense of loyalty to their teams to leave. I don't believe that anyone…

As someone who dealt with 5+ years of this exact type of maniacal harassment from a coach, go fuck yourself. If you, as a leader, have to resort to Frank Martin's level of shitbaggery to get a point across then you need to reevaluate your life. Period.

Yeah, a lot of them do it, but it's a terrible practice. If you have to scream/cuss at/berate people in to doing what you want to do, you are an awful leader and a general piece of hairy flaming dog shit. If you think doing a coach screaming like a maniac is "the right way to do things" please feel free to eat said…

Agreed. The best example for me was the last time I was forced to go to church (before I got the courage to tell my mom that I would never set foot in a church again) and the preacher said "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" without a hint of irony. That sounds asinine to a rational person, but people still use it…

As a man....wait yep, this is true.

Yeah, it's a choice. I just wish some atheist folk would understand that it ain't as easy as it seems. I try to remember than whenever I'm talking to someone who's leaving the faith. I do a fair amount of mentoring work, particularly with young African American men. You'd be surprised how common my story is (save a…

As someone who made the choice to leave, I can honestly tell you that it's not as easy as it sounds. I was brought up in the church, but I also learned the value of critical thinking (and open-mindedness) from a very early age. So when I left for college, I was finally free to make a choice that I'd been contemplating…

Yeah no, "Intellectual Conversation" and "GOD" (in all caps, by the way. Might want to work on that) don't go together. Intellectualism implies rationality, and belief in God by it's very nature is a leap of faith. Faith is inherently irrational.

No. Teams can't use 10-days until January 5th or the first business day following. That said, players can sign 10-days with any team up to twice each season. In other words, a guy can sign two 10 days and then sign one with another team. Dewayne Dedmon and Cartier Martin come to mind as far as guys who have done that.

Yeah, teams will fill out their rosters with "cheap labor". Sometimes it's guys from the developmental league (D-League) or, in the case of Jason Collins, free agents who just haven't been able to find permanent homes to this point in the season. 10-days are a low risk way to find cheap, often short term help. A…

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Really, I'm sorry.

It's bad form to ask about an someone's dead brother repeatedly until they break down. Simple as that. Questioning whether or not badgering happened here or if it's the right word or not isn't even close to the point.

Or in this case, MORE forever. He's 47 years old. I figure he'll at least get 30 years for what he did get convicted on. Dude's gonna die in prison.

Wow, that's really true (and I've never heard it said quite like that). It sounds like that's another form of privilege. Sort of like "That only happens in Florida. It could never happen here" in a way. It really makes me wonder if dismissing all the crazy shit that happens in Florida with the Bugs Bunny GIF is…

You're splitting hairs. It's unlikely that he's going to get 10 years. For the sake of argument let's say he gets 30. Dunn is 47 years old. Therefore, 30 years is effectively the rest of his life.
