Aaron Hernandez -- Guilty of 1st degree murder

Seedy and seamy are synonyms. Seedy seems to be used more commonly. Is there a reason one is more correct than the other? Honest question.

 

Bianchi sucks. Whichever way the wind blows, there he is.

 

No, and you are correct.
"Seedy" is much more familiar.

 

"Seamy" is far better in the context of this shitty column.

No. Seedy implies a dirty area. Seamy implies something smooth on top but rough underneath, and this is the context that fits here.

 

Good read in the Boston Globe about the jury forewoman. Stunning to me that multiple jurists in Boston would have no idea who Aaron Hernandez is and knew nothing about LLoyd case.

After delivering the verdict, the jurors, wanting to decompress and anxious about media attention, gathered discreetly in a restaurant as a group, some already receiving calls from reporters, or texts from family about TV trucks waiting at home. Only in the aftermath, when they could finally speak to each other freely, did Stringer learn that several of the jurors, like her, had been unaware of the Odin Lloyd case.

Must be lots of housing under Plymouth Rock.

 

Many people are completely oblivious to the world of sports.

 

But it had to be all over every kind of news coverage in New England, right?

 

Sure. But lots of things are all over the news that people who have no interest in them find it easy to tune out/ignore/have no knowledge of.
