The difference is you both made the choice for yourselves and didn’t need and shouldn’t have had anybody else deciding that path or making comments on what you chose to do and why. His comments reek of “let me tell you what’s best for you…” and that’s where the insult occurs. Just keep your mouth shut about what women should do. It’s none of your business. And totally unrelatable coming from a pro athlete raised by a mom with an andvanced degree. And it’s not just men who do this. Women struggle with other women making judgements on their choices. Those who want to work are judged for not putting their kids first or for not even having kids. Those who stay home are judged for “just” doing that. Once my wife was asked “oh you have to work?” In a very snide way at a chick gathering not long after our kids were born. She said “I’m sure we could make it work but I enjoy getting out 2-3 days a week using my degree and being around adults”. We saw that same lady about 15 years later at a 40th birthday for the mutual friend. She was divorced.

I’m not going to fault someone for punching back. There’s no victory anymore in taking the high road.

From what I heard the ESPN reporter say happened as he observed it. There was a backup from an accident. He went around that to get to the front of the gate. They are in marked cars identifying them as players. He drove past a cop car and a cop jumped on the car and then he stopped the car after about 10 yards Then the cop dragged him out. I don't think he's acting entitled. He's a participant in the event so it's natural to assume they are given instructions to safely go around any backups and go to the front of the line to be let in whereever they need to go. The cop could have easily figured this all out instead of being dramatic.

my quote was about the video of the girl trying to get ice cream.

No it's not. Tired of the media playing this out as if it's just normal banter and both sides need to cool it. The gentle bear from Georgia cannot handle a black woman as her peer, that's her problem.

Props to Scottie for completely keeping his cool. Didn't play the "Do you know who I am" card, just did what he was told. I understand they are in marked player courtesy cars. He didn't know it was an accident. Just assumed it's fan traffic and that's whey they have marked cars, isn't it?

Yep. That "sacrifice" led to him receiving the JFK Profile in Courage award, presented by Ted Kennedy, who pointed out how critical he was at the time of him doing it.

that was everywhere yesterday. I shared it as a story and it kept showing up from a ton of other sites too.... I wonder what the story behind it is. I love it.

I think he'd have been fine with the prosecutions going forward if it wasn't what everybody wanted to talk about. He had some big problems to solve but his first few press conferences were nothing but Nixon talk.

And it's especially rich when seniors on medicare are against "socialism". They claim "Well I paid into it all these years..." Yes... through taxes. That's how we fund the government. They don't realize where the money comes from.

Ford had researchers look into the pardon functionality and once he got confirmation that acceptence of a pardon was admission of guilt he moved forward. The whole idea that he "made a deal" is hogwash. Ford didn't need to make a deal. He was going to become POTUS.

I just bought out two leased vehicles and my rate is about 6. Not worried as I will pay them off early. Drive them into the ground and hopefully buy another in cash as a retirement gift in 11 years and be done with it.

and slightly related... a long time small business closes after the owners get old... "Oh, that's a shame. I loved that place. So sad" "When was the last time you went there to shop?" "I don't know... 1996?"

and remember you had the strike the year before, then the replacement players in camp...

ask anybody who worked in the restaurant industry how Sunday afternoons absolutely sucked b/c of the church crowd coming in... and how mean and awful the people were. I remember when they would talk about jobs involving sin and sinning. I'd ask "Can you be bartender even if you don't drink?" They'd say "No, because your job involves other people sinning". I always thought about that and the fact they would say working on Sunday was wrong if you had to miss church but if was often the busiest day of the week because of all those church people making others sin.

Gibby retired the same day the team traded Mike Henneman. I think he'd just had enough. He wasn't happy with the organization. They traded David Wells a few days prior. I remember listening to WDFN, Jamie and Gregg, and they were interviewing a Tiger, maybe John Flaherty, and right in the middle they say something like "Uh... Kirk Gibson retired?..." and Flaherty didn't know and he just said he had to get off the phone.

Is OAN an acronym for OnlyFans? Because I think that's where she ends up. Or she'll be the face of a conservative version of it. No woke porn.

You mean when he didn't want disabled/disfigured vets around? "nobody wants to see that"

You don't do a panic move like trading your pitching depth because if we are being honest 3 players aren't quite living up to their expectations. That's what this whole thing is about... 3 players. Torkelson, Keith, and Meadows. If you expected the other hitters to be better then that's on you. They weren't good. But these 3 mentioned players are the only ones hitting worse than I expected them to.

Is he speaking from a political angle? Like it would have helped Biden? That’s the only excuse

Maybe Biden has standards and doesn’t do business with networks that pay out lawsuit settlements. Multiple settlements.

Outside of Tork and Keith and Meadows is anybody really surprised by the epically bad hitting from the others? If 2 out of 3 of those guys were just marginally better this team could have 4-5 more wins. You expected the team to move on from Tork after he hit 30HR last year with a later season bloom? Meadows is a rookie and sometimes they don’t pan out. But you have to let them play to be able to say that. Keith is on Harris somewhat because of the extension. That tells me they saw something.

Initially the usual suspects would have said it’s horrible yada yada yada. Then slowly details would emerge to give them cover and they realize MAGA doesn’t care so they would chalk it up to gods will and worth the cost.

Biden should just say something like “do you really want to go back to all of this? “
