If by recovered you mean fell on his ass and launched a lame duck, then yes we agree. And, though I do not claim to be an expert on the NBA rule book, I’m pretty sure even incidental tripping is a foul. Intent has no bearing.

clearly steps on Durant’s foot

Think those final three lines are the most honest the media has been all year. This internets web log deserves a Pulitzer.

If I were on a civil jury I would give her a portion of his NFL signing bonus. As to him staying on the team, I’m afraid I fall into that category of sports fan who can no longer stomach the NCAA or its exploitation of the players. While I find his actions - beating the living shit of a woman - to be reprehensible, I…

To say that he shouldn’t have retaliated with a right hook is not to say that she had every right to physically assault him. She was wrong. No doubt. But it’s pretty clear that he escalated the situation. Passing judgment on him for doing that (when he quite clearly had other options) is not the same as giving her a…

The trouble here, for me as a white man, is that not reaching out to get the perspective of Pople of Color is often seen as equally problematic. There’s a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario here. What I do take away from your comment is that white folk can’t ask POC to answer for ALL People of…

Dear Mr. Marshal,

I rewound the tape because I didn’t believe my eyes. McGee - the blind dime dropper. Who knew?

Also taunting for getting the face of his opponent after the hit. That dog is everything that’s wrong with today’s athlete, just a bunch of thugs (and this is not racist because the dog is clearly white).

Education, yes - critical thinking skills and self worth makes a difference. Two parents, yes - stability and higher earning power matters. Religion? uh uh. Prisons are filled with believers and our collective history which included a host of societal ills was dramatically more religious than modern day society. You…

Yes. And fuck you for commenting on it. And fuck me. I should be silenced! What was I thinking when I let myself engage with this subject? I was much better when I was Jon Stewart.

I don’t think he’ll be reported by anyone working in the criminal economy. I’m simply saying that he didn’t really cover his tracks very well; the FBI knows exactly what he looks like and so do we. I think he’s bound to get caught because his identity is so public.

but let’s not trivialize that all of us have seen his face. Moving the gold is less worrisome than that his visage is now an internet story and someone wants their $1.6 back.

makes sense. The alternative history here is that ladies have been ghosting me like a Scooby Doo episode.

I only ghost after internet first dates when the only reason for a lack of interest is a lack of vibe. Often i feel they sense it too on the date itself, but often it’s an attempt to not state what amounts to weak reasoning. What’s the proper etiquette for a single online date “no thank you”? Happy to be a better…

Speaking as an uncle, I’m sorry to say it’s nephews who spew these memes.

Context matters. Some levy it as a pejorative. Others use it as a statement of fact. In this case, it would be hard to argue it was meant in the pejorative sense based on...context.

Kudo Kinja!

I don’t disagree with the timbre of your post, the Dems got a lot of ‘splaining to do, but the potential for real consequential socio-political disasters to come from a Trump administration is reason enough to keep following the story. It’s not that the we (and by we I mean ALL of US) didn’t fuck up, it’s that shit is…

Cheney was the bad guy. G-Dub was the dupe.
