If people in Tel Aviv can attend symphonic performances of Wagner compositions, Cowboy fans can tolerate Hardy rushing the passer.

You can describe college football as the plainly illegal cartel that it is, without being so effing stupid to insult the suffering endured by actual slaves.

You don’t need to fit the lean of this site to recognize the plain fact that, under any honest reading of law, the NCAA, conferences, and schools are participating in illegal price fixing cartel.

Holy Rockefeller, Batman! If I am reading things right, last season was a contract year for Thabo! In other words, the NYPD deprived him of the opportunity to have a great playoff performance on a good team, just before he began negotiations on what might be his last contract! Factoring everything (punitive, pain and…

The first paragraph of this review informs the reader that Sorkin is an insufferable. humorless, prick, who grandly overestimates his own intelligence, causing him to write ludicrous dialogue which displays these charming qualities. I wholly agree with that assessment, but think it odd that that the reviewer considers…

The idiot politicians in this matter are doing their best to prevent one of the wealthiest peope in the world from spending his own money on a stadium in L.A.. You can’t make this up. An NFL owner wants to use his own money to build a stadium, and politicians are trying to keep him from doing it, so they can tell…

It isn’t the Rams’. The Rams owner wants out, and is working to spend his own money for a new stadium in L.A.. That is what is so nuts about this situation. Idiot politicians are doing thier best to keep one of the wealthiest peope on the planet from spending his own money.

I see. Yours is the sort of intellect that doesn’t give passes for “letting the religious right overly influence his job”, but tolerating the CIA engaging in espionage against the United States Senate is given a pass. Like I said, you’re a chimp.

Just want to be sure about what you are saying. It is “ok” that the Director of National Security plainly commited perjury, when asked under oath what actions the Executive Branch was directing at the citizens of the United States, and The President imposed no professional or legal cost on the Director for doing so.…

Well, I’m not going to write a long dissertation of 20th century U.S. foreign policy, European actions in the Persian Gulf following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, global oil economics, and how Islam has interacted with all that. I don’t want to answer your question briefly.

The inconsistent editorial choices that Deadspin pursues, out of nothing more than tribalism, has nothing to do with a piece published by Deadspin?

That people overwhelmingly age out of violent criminal behavior once they get into their 70s. I don’t know if we can have confidence in our ability to identify those that haven’t, but it is worth looking at.

If you don’t think killing people in a war, that you are waging in an illegal manner, makes you every bit as much a war criminal, as what George W. Bush has received that label for, then you’re either a liar or just a chimp prone to screeching in favor of the alpha that leads the troupe you favor. Or, most likely,…

Either educate yourself or stop lying.

The war waged in Libya was plainly illegal, and it’s illegal nature was rationalized by making the claim that having American citizens send American ordnance to kill human beings in Libya, in an effort to topple that government, for many months, was not an example of “extended fighting” and thus no Congressional…

Coates is advocating shorter sentences for all violent crimes, and has explicitly compared imprisoning violent criminals with slavery. That’s pretty grotesque.

Yes, I have.

I can make areasonable case that some murderers can be released when they become elderly, without substantially increasing the threat to other citizens. The most ridiculous thing that Coates has written on this topic is the analogy he drew between incarcerating violent criminals and enslaving people. It didn’t appear…

First, Schilling is a jackass but it is quite plainly a lie to assert that he compared Muslims to Nazis. He compared Muslims to Germans. He compared Muslims who engage in political/religious violence to Nazis. It isn’t remotely the same thing. Deadspin has lied about this several times now. When will Deadspin stop…

Probably a better comparison would be the the much, much, greater death rate from recerational swimming. Haven’t seen anybody calling for banning that activity.
