Slavery was around with the Founders as well, but I guess our big national sin was outlawing slavery and thus deviating from the Holy Plan our Fathers placed down for us.

$572 billion for defense last year. We could easily spend half of that and still have the most advanced and powerful military in the world. Doing so would require Congressmen to reduce pork, however, and god only knows that kind of courage doesn’t exist in Washington.

If you think government social services are a crutch, much less a cocoon, I have a bridge to sell you.

There definitely needs to be a way to remove prosecutors from the political process as well.

True. It’s so obvious that having judges (and DAs) campaigning for election would lead to them cutting corners to get convictions and pad their résumés to convince voters they’re tough on crime.

I don’t think anyone wants your sympathy, but thanks for your super hot take.

I have to imagine that ECU won’t notice one bit that their game isn’t being broadcast. These contracts are almost always done by the year, not by the game, so if the station isn’t playing a game then that’s their choice to sacrifice their own money. So ECU won’t even “pay” for it; only the radio station will lose…

It’s better if you’re 7 feet tall and have two hearts.

Richard Sherman Explains Why Players Shouldn’t Trust The NFL

Sadly, he had no idea what to do when he reached third base

You’re right. Your example of one good shooting totally negates the hundreds of other examples of unprovoked police violence against blacks, including Dontre Hamilton in that same neighborhood two years earlier.

Really appreciating all the comments here from folks talking about how Milwaukee doesn’t have any Bad Race Problems at all and how everything’s totally fine and being blown out of proportion by ne’er-do-wells from the coasts. Maybe spend less time machinating against Milwaukee’s repeated efforts to build a public…

This is fucking flagrant disrespect by the NCAA toward our National Anthem. The NCAA hasn’t just canceled these events in North Carolina, they’ve canceled the playing of the National Anthem at these events in North Carolina as well. I’m not a member of the military but that is insanely hurtful to the many members of…

I miss the old days when I would go see Rockets games at The Summit and Astros games at the Astrodome. If I ever become rich enough to own a company and buy naming rights to a stadium, I’ll give it back to the people and let it be some awesome non-sponsored name.

I thought it was a song about a violent game of chess called “Smack My Bishop.”

I am in full agreement with this take. I hate modern archery. Look at that damn “bow”. How does it even require skill anymore? There’s so many stabilizers and guides and, I dunno, personal massagers attached to the damn thing that you could probably put it down, get a milkshake, and watch it score a bullseye for you.

You missed Cuban bread, Drew. Give me a goddamn proper Tampan Cuban and GTFO. I have a sammich to eat.

Wait... the Saints and Falcons are rivals? Like, beyond being in the same division? As someone who lived outside Charlotte and now lives outside Tampa, I had no fucking clue. Jesus, that’s just sad. How much rivalry merchandise must go unsold because I bet half their respective fan bases don’t even know?
