He's not that good an actor.

I'm thinking of crowdsourcing to develop an app that will filter out any "sports" article that contains the words Ferguson, and would like to gauge interest. Apologies to D'Brickashaw,

"...and that's when I assume the majority of viewers turned their televisions off."

You might think so as a matter of logic, but there's no evidence to support that, and really what evidence there is points in the opposite direction. Believe it or not, most women don't want to be torn apart by high-priced lawyers and PR teams. If you want to extort an athlete, there are many easier ways.

nicely written, and of course it's ridiculous for him to make that comparison. the only discrepancy may be that there may be reasons to accuse a high profile athlete of sexual assault that dont apply in most cases, thus making it more likely statistically? maybe not a lot more so, there probably arent enough data…

So your opinion is that Charles Barkley disagrees with you, therefore he has nothing to add to the conversation? His whole point about the Eric Garner case was right. The police officer should've been punished, but it was manslaughter at worst, not murder.

Dude, go back to the dorms, your 101 class is sick of hearing you.

Deadspin is not your freshman philosophy seminar. Just FYI.

The New York Giants receiving corps is gonna be pissed they didn't think of this first.

No. Just no.

The first thing you are trained to do with a weapon? If you point it at someone, that means you are willing to kill them. Final. No if's, and's, or but's. If you don't intend to do that, you should not be pointing a weapon at them.

Guns are not toys, and real people don't shoot like they did in those shitty…

Yeah, I totally meant that writing articles was worse than murder. The point of my comment is that these articles do nothing but rile people up and perpetuate anger, and this one in particular is just plain apathetic.

Yet, here's why this type of narrative is dangerous. You're taking a handful of instances in a 20 year time frame and making it sound like an epidemic. Are there bad, racist cops? Yes. Are there people in the system who don't necessarily work towards justice? Yes.

Sure, each of the instances you mention is unfair,…

Yeah. I just thought the Patriots learned how to use tape a few years ago.

so much touche!

I don't discuss cars with non-car people. It's not enjoyable.

The Chevy LUV was arguably more popular than the Isuzu P'Up. At least in the US.

As a lawyer, I'm always pretty jealous when people get assigned to juries. Lawyers are typically the only people who are really interested in what goes on "behind the scenes" and we almost always get excused!

WHY HAS NO ONE NOSTALGIAFIED THE PUFFALUMPS YET?!

But Dmitry "confirmed" it somehow.
