Maybe it gets blocked from the 3. Maybe not. Longer field goals require a lower trajectory and are more likely to get blocked. The effect is magnified in college where kickers are not as talented as in the NFL. Even in the NFL it’s a big difference. A kick from the three is all but automatic, from the 18 it is only…
I think the thing both sides of that argument need to do is figure out what their specific hang-up is. We can do that by changing the equation a bit by looking at fact patterns with a different racial/sexual make-up.
Can I criticize the woman without defending Mixon? His reaction was brutal, unnecessary, and likely criminal, and I won’t defend it. But the woman did attack him, twice. That’s not to say he’s in the right. Or that she deserved what she got. But it’s okay to say that she sucks, right? Sure seems like she sucks.
That’s it right there. If hate crime/racism wasn’t involved then everyone would be in agreement that what he did was wrong. Since racism is involved it seemed like everyone was hesitant to criticize him in fear that they would be labeled a racist apologist.
I’ve had multiple (usually drunk) women hit me
I know EXACTLY who you’re referring to, and I’ll always remember that time he defended a guy for knocking the shit out of a woman. It’s the kind of thing that sticks with me.
yeahhhhh about that....
The comment section in the previous story is a total shitshow of people defending Mixon. Sometimes the true colors come out.
God damn it. The intern had one fucking job.
No one is fleeced in this sort of deal any competent GM knows the free agent to be is a 3-4 month rental and trades accordingly.
Gizmodo actually covered the value of hunting for conservation efforts, albeit in Africa, so it’s not information totally unknown amongst the left (since I assume every writer on all of these sites is a lefty). I think most people not well-versed in hunting (including non-hunting-yet-gun-loving righties) are unaware…
This is a good take. Schilling for all his horribleness was an excellent player and from my understanding, a fairly good teammate and less of a (known) asshole during his playing days. If there is a character clause, it should judge the player’s character at the time of his playing, not while he is retired. In terms…
Eh, I’ll stop you at conservation, but I’ll give you hunting, and some fishing.
“Can you hear me now?”
Hunting and outdoor sports, which will be preserved through the preservation of federally protected, publicly accessible wilderness, is an unmitigated good thing for the environment, for the millions and millions of Americans who don’t live in manhattan, and for the economy. Literally just today, Obama signed into…
“Of course, while some environmentalists are in favor of this sort of land preservation as a means of protecting both the environment and endangered species, Don Jr. and Zinke use the movement as a means for ensuring space to hunt.”
Man. Jerry Kill must be Having a fit.
Fair point...but we just lost Alan Thicke and Craig Sager within HOURS OF EACH OTHER! How can you stay calm at a time like this???
I feel generally the same about nostalgia for the past as I do over-criticism of the present and hyper-optimism for the future. I also have depression, anomie, and anhedonia, so there’s that.
I’m about to blow a gasket over this 2016 nonsense. Every fucking time anything bad happens it’s 2016's fault. My God are people stupid.
