I have to assume that medical knowledge about these types of injuries and their treatment is vastly ahead of what it was in Bill Walton or even Yao's era, so perhaps the risk is less with Embiid.

Sorry, but a car that flips is not an advertisement for safety. The Ford Explorer got a lot of bad publicity over its propensity to tip over.

Baseball needs a rule about leaving the dugout, just like the NBA and NHL. All it does is waste time, particularly when the bullpen guys come sauntering in — being sure to get late enough in case there happens to be a real fight.

Sliding that late and going directly for a guy's knees? No, that's not part of baseball. He better be ready to get buzzed next at-bat.

I don't think a flipped car is great PR for Honda, regardless of how it happened.

Since young people are involved in FAR more accidents — and far more FATAL accidents — why are you demonizing the elderly? How old are you?

Announcers (home or away) are not a good test of whether a call was right or wrong. It's remarkable how many of them have never read a rule book — especially the ones who actually played the game.

Anyone who thinks the "Amica Pitch Zone" is an accurate representation of what is a strike or a ball is delusional.

Because Deadspin/Gawker's American soccer (excuse me, futbol) writers are a bunch of pretentious phonies. Really, it's embarrassing.

When has ESPN NOT made itself the story? It's all about promoting itself.

OK, somebody has to be "that guy." Clearly would have been a triple and an error, not a home run.

OH MY GOD! The man voiced the same opinion THREE DIFFERENT TIMES over a span of 25 YEARS!

Um, I doubt even Shaughnessy would say stupid shit like this as a basis for disliking soccer. You may not enjoy the game, but to say it doesn't require skill is beyond absurd.

It wasn't illegal, but it was against the businesses' agreement with the credit-card companies until the credit reform act of a few years ago. (And you're right, a lot of small businesses disregarded it.)

Just hitting the catcher's glove doesn't make it a passed ball. Looks like catcher got crossed up, but that's a wild pitch every time.

It's Bryan Price, not Pryce.

Only there is no such "must slide" rule in Little League — or pretty much any league. It's slide OR avoid.

If the bicyclist deserves ANY blame it's about 2 percent. The asshole driving the 2-ton SUV — on what's clearly intended for pedestrians/bicyclists (check out the Google map linked by another commenter to see that you have to actually drive up on the sidewalk to access it) — gets the other 98 percent.

Totally different circumstances. You had every right to demand they take that image off their website, because they're using it for commercial purposes. You would have won any legal action you brought.

It's pretty simple: deadlines.
