your physics is fuzzy.

Really dude... it's how it happens everywhere, just not in the city communities where your family makes over $100,000 and spoiled you to the point where you cry when you don't get exactly what you want. A luddite?!?!?!?!?! Calling AP a luddite and thinks the kid is going to "suffer" is 20 times more backwards than…

What confuses me about that is: if my top hand is rolling over, then my bat is rolling "forward." A forward rolling bat would impart backspin on the ball, not topspin. Like the way that a cue ball imparts an opposite spin to the ball it hits.

"A rolling bat head creates topspin, which causes the ball to sink and dive..."

There was a guy in a FanDuel tournament yesterday who lost $3,000 on that kneel down. It ended up putting him 3rd in a tournament of 600 or so people for $5,000, behind a guy in 2nd who took home $8,000.

The "social implications" are actually variable dependent on culture. Western etiquette says slurping is bad - and yes, as a result many of us find the sound irritating. But at my friendly neighborhood ramen shop, I'm surrounded by customers happily slurping noodles from their bowls. It's okay as long as everyone else…

Yeah, I feel like I should be offended but I'm not. He's talking about demographics as far as his business is concerned. If the stats show that across the league its rich white people buying the vast majority of season tickets and skyboxes then technically they ARE more important in that regard.

Bro.. google 49ers fan stabbing, or shooting and see what Im talking about. Google Philly fan beating.. You missed the whole point of my comment guy..

Totally agree. As a bleeding-heart liberal, I was ready to get my outrage on, but it really wasn't that bad at all. The only time he goes off the rails is when he gives one of his "theories", which are pretty dumb and unfounded. But most of it was just a stream-of-consciousness business discussion.

I'm Black and a business school graduate. This is exactly how I read it. In fact he pretty much smears the local white population as bigots. The fact is that he needs their money to stay a float because the local black population alone cannot support a NBA franchise. So he has to find a way to appeal to them even…

As a black person, I dont speak for all black people, we are not monolithic, But reading this email, I dont think its racist, its just a business man trying to figure out why his shit is fucked up. Hes speaking frankly, and probably factually on alot of his points, Hes basically saying mix this shit up, black and…

This just sounds....weird....but not totally racist. It seems he is mostly blaming the racist white ATL population ("This was just racist garbage"...mentioning that the perception of danger overwhelmed reality of attending a game...racial coding..) and some curious ways to express his feelings (his "balking" and…

Yes. I absolutely loathe the "social justice activism" as practiced by Gawker.

If a car is defined by it's buyers then yes, there absolutely is a "chick car". If it is predominantly purchased by women, then we can safely say it is a woman's car.

This is not the way I thought I would hear about Joan Rivers' passing.

So... Your mad at Gervais for expressing his opinion... And then sticking to his guns rather than offer some half assed bullshit apology?

I like George Carlin and I'm female. The stuff he used to say about environmentalists, religion, and government (and White feminists, strangely) are spot on.

I really think Derek shows more of the real Ricky than "Ricky Gervais" does. His public persona is something for him to often work out his own issues in a free form, often offensive way — he has struggled a lot with his weight, so he just says what he thinks, even if it's blunt or mean. He's probably too reliant on…

Maybe we should stop putting celebrities on pedestal and acting like they don't spew shit out of their mouths like normal humans. Most aren't saints like Patrick Stewart, Hiddles, and Ian McKellem and i'm sure if we dig far enough we can find something bad from their pasts to knock them down to earth with.

Man, I don't know about that. You can get those guys into shape, but I don't see Ewing's knees or Bird's back holding up for 4 weeks of game-level intensity. That'd be a fun thought experiment for the programmers at EA, though.
