I don’t think expressing mild disappointment with the content and organization of her speech makes me a pedant. I also don’t think she did a very good job at No. 1 on your list. You obviously disagree, and it’s ok for us to do so without slinging barbs or ten dollar words at each other.

Don’t see what was incoherent about my comment. There’s a grammatical error in the final sentence courtesy of auto correct on my phone, but it’s certainly not incoherent. The speech wasn’t very good. I appreciate that most folks would err on the side of deferring to the sentiment of the moment. I knew my comment would…

I didn’t think the speech was very good. It was all over the place, and she said first and foremost 2 or 3 different times. I appreciate the sentiment. I appreciate that she was living through a very tough moment on live tv. I just thought after all the noise that was made about the HOF giving her a chance to make a…

You’re analyzing a sentence fragment by pointing to a fragment of a phrase you clearly don’t understand. Information and belief is a legal phrase that means the facts I have before me and those I could uncover through reasonable further investigation lead me to state as follows.

Huh

I hate to be that guy, but that's a serious liability issue for the Pats.

I keep mentioning it because it is a factor for many people when considering the relative merits of an education at a particular school and because it is indeed a factor for some NCAA athletes. I really don’t know the specifics of how scharship money is allocated at UAB, whether among sports or to individuals. I know…

Nope. As I readily admitted, some schools are shitty and worthy of being made fun of. Some aren't. IMO, UAB doesn't fall into the category of shitty schools.

I get what you’re saying, and this post is delivered with zero snark I promise. There are likely 10s of thousands of schools in the U.S. Being in the top 150 isn’t anything to crow about, but it’s not grounds for acting like the school is a flaming toilet that deserves ridicule. UAB is a good school that provides a…

Women be Shaqtin a fool too.

I know it’s the internet, so being an asshole is the norm, but UAB is one of the top 150 undergraduate schools in the country according to US News. On top of that instate tuition is less than 10k per year and out of state tuition is less than 25k. Not everyone is going to be a professional golfer and I’m sure this kid…

This is very sad news. I went to law school with his daughter; super sweet girl who loved her father very much.

Thanks for the info. I suspected that he had been told by someone in the organization that he wasn't going to be a starter, but I hadn't seen that expressed anywhere.

Seems like Micheal Sam is soon to be banished to memory. His workouts showed pretty clearly that he didn’t project well as a rosterable NFL talent at his position of choice. I watched his preseason performance with the Rams from the perspective of a football fan and a sincere advocate for LGBTQ rights, and my…

Ronaldo only smiles when he's the one scoring the goals.

Come on, almost every kid has killed their share of crickets and fireflies. Not in this way, but still.

I’m not a fan of Wambach’s game. She’s literally just bigger than everyone else. I’m always surprised that Rapinoe doesn’t get more credit and airtime, though. It’s obviously overdoing it to say that a woman could consistently compete with world class men, but I think Rapinoe’s game (great anticipation - crisp and…

I’ve got nothing against the players going out and taking what the market will pay, but I continue to be baffled by the the folks who are setting the market in professional sports. Guys continue to get money just z’cuz that’s the premium you pay for X position.” The Patriots are one of the few teams in pro sports that…

For what it’s worth, Daredevil has utilized my 5.1 system better than any show i’ve ever watched on it.
