I don’t blame him one bit. It was settled in 2016. No one asking questions actually expected him to get into a big discussion about it right? Then why ask?

I’m kind of hazy as to why it’s the Olympic commentators, or any sports commentators job, to continuously bring up that x athlete has x sexual/domestic allegations held against him. They are calling the sport in a (hopefully) nonbiased way. They don’t need to insert anything else into the broadcast to please the…

I’d guess that the settlement included language forbidding either party to discuss it publicly, so I’m not sure what response people are hoping for here?

I’d also guess that since he felt the need to settle that it happened, which makes him a multi-level piece of shit.

He was her employer. On the other hand, you are dumb.

I think he handled this pretty well. He could have understandably gotten defensive about this being brought up during the coverage of his win, but he appropriately apologized for using dismissive language.

Listen, if every young person had to answer for the mistakes they made as the leader of a shitty vanity project band when they were almost thirty, people would never stop apologizing!

Maybe use your context clues to assume that “series of graphic and demeaning text messages” might contain something that’s NSFW?

It is gossip. Just because it’s a lawsuit doesn’t mean everything is open to discussion. Sure, I can go to the courthouse, find my neighbor’s DUI conviction or child custody papers, call her up and ask about it — but it doesn’t mean it’s any of my business.

Seriously. Thanks for the heads up Deadspin.

Settled out of court right? Disgusting allegations (poopy stuff). No criminal charges. Settled out of court. No further allegations from other people? Ok.

Hey! How about a courtesy NSFW next to that hyperlink that takes you to a page starting with “Here are the Penis Pics”. That should be fun to explain in a few hours.

Better communication has obviously been the difference. LeBron yelled defensive instructions to Isaiah Thomas, but the words just seemed to go over his head.

I see how it is—when LeBron yells defensive coverages to his colleagues, he’s the best player of his era but when I yell offensive coverages to my co-workers I have to go to HR and explain that I was just quoting New York Times columnist, Quinn Norton.

The half-baked color guy was completely off the rails and I love it. He sucks so bad in a completely old-school way. Last night he called 17-year-0ld Chloe Kim “Queen of the Pipe”. Like we’re not even doing phrasing anymore! He also totally mixed his metaphors during White’s first run and said something like “He’s…

Yeah, it passes the eye test pretty well. The biggest indicator is how much air they get. If you go fast you get air. If you land cleanly and high on the pipe you keep going fast. The spins and shit are kind of a bonus.

I’ll say this for halfpipe, it’s about the only sport decided by judges that I can usually tell who was best even though I can’t tell a 1440 Frontside Twisty McStuffin from a Triple Lindy.

I love that they all seem to have Northern Californian accents. Even the Canadians.

It was unclear in my post, but I am pro-profanity. I think it is fucking awesome that NBC seems to have just given up this Olympics on the stupid bleeping or silencing of certain words but not others.

And NBC is failing to bleep out any of the profanity again. “I fucking did it!” on repeat. Snowboarders are just completely discombobulating the censors.

I think my favorite part of the Olympics so far is when the announcer for the qualifying round said Shaun White was back at these games to prove his back to back gold medals were not a fluke. What?!?! His fourth place finish at Sochi was enough to prove he is amazing. Being considered the best ever on the half pipe…
