Well, he hadn't been caught or convicted yet. I'm curious as to how you know what kind of guy he is inside.

I don't get why you make the assumption that a team has to fall in line and gloss over whatever asshole behavior their players get into. I don't think anyone is THAT surprised here, but it's notable that it's pretty messed up to be promoting the guy. Personally, just from a business point of view, I'd ignore the guy…

What do you mean they "know what kind of man he was before that incident"? He's the kind of dude who punched a lady, he just hadn't done it yet. Dude, have you even seen Batman Begins? "It's not who you are underneath. It's what you DO that matters."

He is also not in space. Yep, I read between those lines too.

Absolutely. I always enjoyed them for that. They don't take the manufactured pro/con stances.

Mike and Mike are usually pretty excellent. They're sports guys who aren't one-dimensional yelling machines. They add a lot of rational perspective from outside the sports world.

I like watching guys who cheer for stuff and think they are on the team.

The Heckler pays $14 for a beer and sits in general admission. The pitchers play baseball for a living. Who's winning?

Why are you heckling a guy who's losing 13-1? This is a fair and hilarious response.

If the advice was truly to avoid violence, he would say not to date "those guys" in the first place. That your analogy has to equate a boyfriend with a "violent gang member" should raise a red flag. What Smith does is presupposes that domestic violence is the natural course of events if a woman gets out of line.…

But wait: If it doesn't matter, and it's all the media's fault, then a good coach would be able to control that and wouldn't be bothered by it. That's what I don't get, how someone can call it a distraction but still say it's all media hype.

Who want's to get sweaty with a guy who makes spreadsheets of his failure?

Yes! And COME ON, Lucy.

Come on, 1996 Kerri Strug was badass. Gabby in 2012? That's great stuff.

This is really good!

Maybe so, but to be fair, Maradona doesn't deserve the 1986 World Cup trophy either.

Expertly done.

True. True. It's definitely like "Chicago" without the horn section. (Sorry for the dated, kinda dorky reference. I feel like saying "The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger" goes too far, so I picked a slightly less important element of a larger band.)

IN A ROW!

Ohhhh, now I get it. You're one of those guys who doesn't get laid.
