    I'll grant you a wavier, since I brought up Michelle and Kantor's hagiography.

    Any thoughts on the Times taking quotes from a random WordPress blog written by a Towson student and using them to paint Janay as a gold digger?

    I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me wood.

    I think I had simply typed "elite media" in the quick reply box before refocusing myself on Bill Clinton. Plus, I figured I should read the link before responding.

    No one will be talking about this by Sunday's kick. And the artful Roger knows that.

    This is just a few days after the paper called out the U.S. Supreme Court for doing the same thing:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/02/us/politics/the-dubious-sources-of-some-supreme-court-facts.html?_r=0

    And in a 2013 decision, Justice Stephen G. Breyer cited an amicus brief to establish that American libraries hold 200 million books that were published abroad, a point of some significance in the copyright dispute before the court. The figure in the brief came from a blog post. The blog has been discontinued.

    I seriously want to scream reading that shit. Oh, you're a good place now! Well, thank goodness your girlfriend wasn't wearing a GoPro strapped to her head when you beat her up multiple times in multiple cities.

    He also basically got a teammate killed with his angry shenanigans at a nightclub.

    He's probably one of the five biggest sports stars in Chicago right now. Probably Rose, Noah, Kane, Toews, and Marshall.

    Why is it the NFL's responsibility to mete out punishment for transgressions that aren't part of the collective bargaining agreement? With no legal entanglement there's nothing more here than if it were an accountant, a firefighter, or a journalist. Actually, a journalist would likely suffer worse consequences for plagiarism than for punching out his girlfriend.

    Oh, yeah? Where were they when Barack Obama stood up a girl at the middle school dance?

    Just as the NFL co opted youth football to help rehabilitate their image in regard to
    concussions, they should co -op marriage as a way to rehab their image on domestic violence. They could start a certification program to get married.

    Marshall also was used to raise awareness of depression.
    Two birds with one stone.
