Well argued. I would quibble, though with the idea that the sudden head turn is a de facto sign of a FM. As a casual couch-slug fan, I can tell you that I have seen many, many (at least two) instances of a defender grabbing a ball carrrier’s shoulder pads in the front and wrenching them down or to the side, which…

Once again, if they gave out a Pulitzer for slapdash news aggregating, Merlan would be a lock: No mention of murderers’ religion. None.

I think it's more like 30-1. But point taken.

It’s not a “takeaway”, it’s a response. While your assertion that Zimmerman feared for his life may well be true, the fact that he put someone else in reasonable fear for his for no good reason life vitiates his defense.

So I can follow you for no good reason, even chase you and make you feel very threatened, and when you turn to confront me, I can decide to shoot you? Really?

“You can’t accidently break into someone’s house...” You can, actually. Happens all the time. People who are drunk or disoriented for a number of reasons. One young man just got killed for it.

Can someone who understands the basketball please tell me:

Oh, FFS. Enough of this:

Most people, in my experience, who have mental illness are not assholes. Sinead is very much the exception. Do fuck off now, there's a good attention whore.

I love seeing guys play out of position, but this was rude and unsportsmanlike. Hot taek, I know. Now get off my AstroTurf.

Yes, this is truly a time for race baiting and man hating. Well done.

“We’re on to Cincinnati. Next question.”

Holy shit, that’s a dim take. Did not listen to whole interview, but automatically assuming that his is not merely racism, but a systematic and planned execution of a random black person isn’t wrong, it’s insane.

/Nationwide tune

“When you have a barrel, you have a few things...”

“failed to adhere to any accepted journalistic standards.”

Dammit. Beat me to it.

Right you are. Just FYI, as to freaking out when all is quiet, they're just reacting to the dead souls which inhabit your house, which they can totally see/hear/sense. No biggie.

I think the least we can do for Janay Rice, his (here nameless) victim, is to cut off the only possible source of high income for her and her child. She needs to understand that her being victimized a second time is good for the country.

“SeHITLER”????!!!?!?! It’s worse than we thought! Plus, you just lost Godwin’s Law and Ben Carson now wants to kill Turkish babies. Tell your wife’s family that.
