Jaylen Brown is still a better player than anyone offered by the Lakers, early season struggles aside.  Further, the Grizzlies pick will likely be unprotected in two years with a very bad Grizzlies team.  Any picks from the Lakers will near the bottom of the round and will have to come every two years due to the…

If Davis pushes the issue of going to the Lakers, then they should tell him that if it affects the trade market, they will just sit on him and let him walk.  The Lakers won’t have cap space to sign him in 2020.  They would have to enter another year of one-year deals to keep their cap space.  Do you think Lebron will…

Short of tying the old fart up or threatening him with a lethal weapon, I am struggling with a scenario in which juvenile aggression is a mitigating factor or defense

Fair enough. I also apologize for the snark in my initial replies. It was assholish.

I am glad that someone intervened for you and stopped further assault by that guy. I know that many to most women have experienced sexual harassment or assault. I never said that you made anything up about bystander intervention. I argued that you think you have a level of discernment that I don’t think you or others…

Your anecdote is not evidence that this is an effective strategy for a stranger.

No, I didn’t. Your point is based upon nothing but one time that it worked where you were the one who was helped.  You can’t say that’s effective for everyone else.  You can’t say that the woman or most women will react the same way.  You may believe that you have some magical power to discern ill intent without…

My theory on intervening is only when someone can’t protect themselves.  If two guys or two women square off, I’m not intervening unless someone is down or is clearly not able to fight. 

What evidence do you have that it’s effective for men to do that for a stranger? I’ve intervened when something has become physical, but I have not and will not intervene between strangers based on some faux superpower to discern “ill intent”.

Did he use his lack of chin as an example of humans losing touch with strength?

I’m glad that this happened in a high profile game and was so egregious. You know what else happened that was egregious; 1) 14 points given to the Chargers on not-as-but-close-to egregious calls against the Steelers and 2) 14 points given to the Saints on very bad DPI calls on 4th down against the Steelers.  If one of…

Have you seen him without one though? Really, he didn’t go far enough. He should Charles C. Johnson it and I don’t mean he should shit on the floor

She has the eyes of a tired centenarian

Christ all you would have had to do was show the list that was circulating of potential trump appointees

Your fallacious logic is astouding.  I have seen a No True Scotman, strawman, red herrings, ad hominem and appeal to the masses.  Good work!

There is no evidence other than your own  brain that says that the old grown-ass drummer was trying to provoke a punch.

If you think SCOTUS has settled anything relating to guns, then you don’t understand the legal field.  Neither side thinks it’s settled, nor does SCOTUS considering the dicta in several of the recent cases.

I am fine with that narrative. Trump is a racist. He has associated himself and his campaigns with racism through his behavior and statements. If a person actively wears his gear, they are identifying with him either in that they are willing to overlook his racism for other reasons or hold those beliefs himself. If…

“Jinny Butler” lol

Wentz is HUMAN at play, but what is he at work?
