Going back to something I think J-lo brought up, in the context of what Syb and Rex are saying: I assume the PA is going to let the dust settle before coming back to address this issue. Because, as has been pointed out multiple times, Ray Rice is not the only guy in the NFL that has been proven to h...

That's not, like, possible. I mean, the baby making part. The fucking, though kind of gross, is probably possible.

Oh shit... Fellas... John Oliver. Not sure what you mean by that. I Googled John Oliver and Ray Rice and didn't see anything, but it did lead me to a link of Joe Biden commenting on the issue. I cringed as I clicked on link because, Biden. Turns out, Biden gets it, and is extremely eloquent on the ...

I think one of the things that needs to come from the media is someone who, unlike Olbermann or say Bob Costas, isn't well known for their highhorseyness. If someone came out and acted as strongly but who was otherwise more centered, it would be a good thing. True. Does anyone take Olbermann seriou...

I'm going to apologize for the dick sucking request, out of line. But the "charging" discussion was not limited to whatever context BFJ set up... That discussion was happening all over the place yesterday on The Internet, which is why I felt it was important to clarify what I saw on the v...

Enough with the picking apart of the word charged, ok? Just let's all fucking stop and move on. I've read every single post of this thread and BFJ has absolutely not said her move towards him is was any version of "she deserved it" in the slightest. Let's all stop. There's way too much in...

In reality, if you are an overworked DA and DA's assistant, and you can lay down a marker with diversion in a case where you don't have proof other than strong suspicion and a beaten person who claims they "fell down the stairs", finding a way to get diversion is a good outcome - person a...

Lester Munson. Huge difference AB...MOST domestic violence incidents don't come with video for the DA to watch. In a he said/she said situation, getting diversion is a nice outcome. In this case, with that video to see? Um...no. And I say "no" because of the message that is out there from...

That was... bizarre. I don't want to shit on the guy - I like watching him play and he definitely was bringing a lot to this match. But, just WTF in that 5th set?

It's rather sad and pathetic to see the Apple Fanboys (particularly on ArsTechnica) falling all over each other to push Apple's narrative that this is all the fault of those whose account was broken into.

The guy who wrote the article was the person Snyder sued when he was at the City Paper. Snyder has screwed this up every way.

Wow. That's some Giorgio Chanaglia level of cherry-picking. Read the entire thing.

1) Not a lawyer. 2) The header limitation is completely asinine. You don't get concussions from headers (unless you're so bad at the sport you should be wearing a helmet in the first place.

Isn't the steel horse his motorcycle? (Ridden helmet-less so his feathered hair flows majestically in the wind.) You are correct! And yes, he has a "loaded six string" on his back to address the gun-toting issue. BTW, I might also like this song because of it's obvious similarities to Seg...

Oh, I wanted to make one other point about the last TWO nights of coverage: Horrible production/direction!! I'd say they missed, conservatively, 10 - 15 pitches in each game. They were so busy showing as all their cool angles and super tight close-ups, that they missed a shitload of live action. Inf...

No one on the American side was going to be a match for Vegas. Illinois will do well not go get 10-run mercied on Saturday.

What people fail to realize (or point out) is that when "the system" has repeatedly ignored or screwed you, you tend to say fuck it.

It is an obvious point to many of you here, but it is apparently too nuanced to be mentioned in the stories I've seen covering Ferguson.

The game was long for a couple of key reasons: 1) The pitch limit rules. Both teams were sitting on 2-0 last night, so they've got to worry about the scenario where they've got 2 or 3 more games, all within a 4 day period. Even when LV felt good about the outcome, they were going to keep moving pitc...
