Did not expect this. Seems like justice to me, and he should die in prison. I really thought he would find a sympathetic juror and get over again.

“I don’t know why it’s so hard to follow the rules,” Mesnard said. “It doesn’t matter whether you are white or black or brown on whatever the color the color of your skin is, you follow the House rules.”

His actions seem to suggest he cares more about gaming than his wife. I feel like an inordinate portion of the solution offered involves her doing the work to fix his problem. It already sounds like she’s putting in a lot more effort to make their marriage work than he is.

He also gets to work as a sideline reporter for NBA games.

He said Granma, not Grandma.

The accomplishment loses quite a bit of its luster when it turns out he was paying her to maintain the relationship. At that point she’s just a high-dollar escort who happened to be in Playboy once. Hell, you or I could probably pull that off (although I couldn’t afford the $1.6M abortion).

I read that the Playboy model’s attorney (Keith Davidson) also represented Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. I wonder what other dirt that guy has, that he’s just waiting to capitalize on.

My head hurts from trying to come up with some kind of context where these events would make sense. I wish I’d reached your conclusion much sooner.

Jokic is a less-fragile and slightly less-refined Porzingis. Referees allowed Gibson to manhandle him in OT, and Jokic wasn’t ready for that. Any other point in the course of an NBA game, Gibson doesn’t get away with that, and Jokic either scores at will or goes to the foul line. But that’s what happens in overtime of…

Poor Frank. He was terrific in Indiana. Of course, the style of basketball he seemed most adept at coaching is no longer viable in today’s NBA. I think if Orlando had been able to acquire any decent, young talent, he would have been able to coach them up into a formidable opponent. Eventually they would have needed to…

It sounds like this isn’t going to have any effect at all, which means it’s just a ploy to appease his racist base. And, sure, fuck that and fuck them. They obviously think the number of people who are gaming the system is a lot higher than it actually is. Of course eventually, when all these motherfuckers are in…

She actually lives in fucking Cleveland? I knew she was dating him, but I just assumed that meant she would stay in Los Angeles and visit him periodically throughout the season. I didn’t feel sorry for her at all until I learned she moved to fucking Cleveland to be with him.

Well, not exactly free publicity. Unless the player is already on a 2-way contract, they have to sign the player to a 10-day contract (or prorated 10-day if it’s the end of the season). It’s a drop in the hat for an NBA team, but most usually have enough guys on the end of their bench they are already paying for these…

There’s no doubt the character is racist; whether it’s maliciously racist or not is beside the point. It’s rooted in a somewhat derogatory stereotype, and for that to exist in programming created by and for white people in 2018 is just tacky.

Access to NBA trainers and doctors, NBA strength training, being around the game full time, experiencing the travel schedule, spending hours everyday watching film, having a year to digest an NBA playbook, learning how NBA offenses and defenses work, earning an NBA paycheck, Simmons had a huge advantage over someone…

I think there’s enough momentum, and the memory of 2016 is still fresh enough, that the House is a pretty safe bet. I don’t think there’s much chance of the Senate, though, especially now that the GOP is putting all their eggs in that basket. The map is just too much to overcome this time around.

I wonder how much of that was just the attorney doing his job, knowing that a hail mary was his last option. He had to have known that you guys weren’t going to flinch at his threat letter. I’m also curious how good of an appeal case they had to keep the files sealed. Surely they were just delaying the inevitable, and…

She lost a handful out of more than a hundred sponsors. And to my knowledge none abandoned Fox altogether, just her show. Once this blows over in a couple weeks, and it most assuredly will, they’ll quietly go back to letting their ads run on her show, too.

Of course she had to take the call. Yes, it would be gratifying to tell him to fuck off. But if he approaches you, hat in hand, and you have an opportunity to influence him in a more moderate or rational direction, why wouldn’t you do that? There are plenty of valid criticisms of her. Trying to help save the State…
