That actually makes a lot of sense. Nobody is going to feel like being a rebel after degrading themselves like that. You’ll just stay punching that clock and turning in mediocre shifts, which definitely beats some alternatives to the bottom line...

I worked at an independent big-box hardware store for awhile and it was awful. Got in right about when the recession hit, got out right before things got ice cold as a result. It’s an absolutely ruthless business. They ended up pulling all kinds of bullshit to get rid of everybody who had worked their way into a…

It’s genuinely shocking to me that somebody that familiar with the Lake Merritt rules and regulations thought she would get an immediate response from OPD on a call like that.

It’s hilarious to me that a pool that big in Lemoore is not open to the public. Violent death by drowning vs. no pool access is basically a toss-up on half the summer days.

Watching my guy get lumped up was not half as depressing as seeing Don King waving the Armenian flag.

Pretty much all instrumental or producer-driven. Jakarta does a lot of good stuff but some of it is a little out there for me. Postpartum Records out of Germany is absolutely killing it right now, everything they’ve put out that I’ve heard is ridiculous. Mutual Intentions crew out of Norway has been airtight but I…

The more I think about it, yep. Why would other teams be mad that a competitor supposedly wasted a draft pick? Guys are taken off boards all the time, and I can’t remember another instance where somebody was angry that a team gambled on a prospect they wrote off.

By all means, tell us the heart problems he’s had since...

It’s making me wonder if perhaps the league wanted to reverse-Michael Sam him and put out the word to not draft him.

His pad is what it would look like if the bad guy from Road House redecorated Osama Bin-Laden’s cave.

Applying the word “genius” to Kanye is laughable. I can’t believe anybody ever did it, and the fact that even people trying to rip him are still on that bullshit is precisely why he’s popping off like this.

The Niners themselves could be completely removed from the shenanigans. It could be entirely coming from the woman in question. But the way they’ve handled it, taking such a tough stance and deferring to the courts while they had to have known the recanted version of the story was coming, true or not, is a very bad…

I wouldn’t call him “unproven.” Character and injury concerns aside, the guy looks to be a stud. They have apparently decided that having him on the field outweighs any negatives of how he gets there. Never said it was smart.

I really have no interest in having an extended conversation about this with anybody too obtuse or disingenuous to even acknowledge how the system can be gamed in this regard, post-Greg Hardy. It’s not rocket science.

The Coup weren’t gassing him up, they shitted on him. Repeatedly.

Excellent.

Exactly. If he’s actually a victim here and they’ve been operating under that version of events for awhile, why all the sabre-rattling?

Those other charges could be pleaded down to little-to-no time and a short league suspension. The DV is far more serious.

Lynch immediately cut an expendable player he inherited going into a rebuilding year. The initial reports were pretty damning, yet the victim ended up refusing to cooperate and Brock eventually got off completely. You really think the way that whole scenario played out illustrates why something ISN’T shady about this…

This smells more than 99% like strings are being pulled to ensure he can stay with the team.
