Meh, he is a rookie. He probably decided it wasn’t his place to involve himself as peacemaker when there are long time (and huge) vets like Brooks Lopez for that. I am a longtime Lakers Hater, but I’ve got nothing to jump on Lonzo for here. Especially if his teammates don’t have any issue with it.

Does the alleged victim in this case, who deleted her tweet, and referred to “sports schadenfreude twitter” even WANT people turning this into a story? Deadspin should reach out to her for a number of reasons, and they may have even already done so, but I’m not sure we’re going to get a public response, and it may be…

They couldn’t be dumb enough to follow through on this... Jerry knows where all the dead hookers are buried. I mean, he did kill most of them himself, but there’s enough on the other guys to keep them from going nuclear.

It’s repulsive. As you mention, it’s a bunch of other rich fuckers engaging in a giant self-sustaining circle jerk. You could get a an MBA candidate from Mumbai to do a better job for a hell of a lot less money, but the 1% is great at insulating themselves from the same shit they impose on average workers, and then…

I’d leave my son behind too if I was trying to build a company called “Big Baller Brand” and my son got caught stealing at the expensive purse store in fucking Hangzhou.

This dude has an awfully strange way of expressing his opposition to people being cavalier about life.

Obvious choice is Crucial BBQ by Murphy’s Law.

Still seems like someone in the front office tried to get that story out there, and maybe upon realizing how much fucking worse it looks to renege on a trade and brag about it to the media to make yourself look smarter, are now trying to walk that back.

I feel like I can simultaneously feel zero sympathy for that young woman, and at the same time say that seemed like a completely inappropriate response. I mean, police have these things called handcuffs, right, designed in part just for this type of thing?

Alright, I bit. The column is very, very bad.

Play hardball over giving him the max next summer, and then accuse him of being an alcoholic?

Kristaps is the shit. I have no snark or special insight. He’s just awesome, and I’m glad he’s in the NBA.

When you’re poor, all this shit is so discouraging.

The line about Constant trying to “ruin his career.” Yes, that’s called politics and it’s what happens when we don’t like the actions an elected official takes.

As repugnant as all this is on the “suing a likely victim of sexual assault” front, it’s also fucking gross because it’s an elected official suing a member of the public for criticism. Fuck this dude.

Ayo, fuck this motherfucker.

Did they really? Well, nevermind then.

What a creep.

Is it just me, or does thing whole thing seem like it’s been handled extremely well? Immediate suspension of enough games to make it hurt, but without exceeding punishments for physical violence. Darvish being such a gentleman in his response (not that it would have been wrong if he’d expressed more offense). Hill and…

It’s only an excuse in the sense that much of Latin America is incredibly racist. So, I guess it’s a defense in the same way a man in 1950s Alabama using racial slurs could blame his environment.
