Yes. That’s exactly the point of this article. Thank you for getting it. Read more

You claimed that no sports owners had ever been pressured to sell like this. Read more

Who said I’m pissed about it? I’m not pissed about it. Read more

Listen: Fuck Bob Kraft! He’s a piece of shit along several axes, and if this results in him eventually being pressured to sell the Patriots, I will enjoy a hearty and untroubled laugh at his expense. But I still don’t think this is the league office’s business at this point. That’s all I’m saying. Read more

He was not. Which is irrelevant unless you’re willing to argue with a straight face that literally everything that is against the law is worse than literally everything that isn’t. (Which is an argument, I should warn you, that would mark you as too stupid to keep commenting privileges on this website!) Read more

Jesus, you guys. This is appalling and embarrassing from a comment community ordinarily as smart as ours. Levenson was not pressured to sell over the email. He was pressured to sell because the email revealed not just racism, but racism being brought directly to bear on the operations of an NBA franchise. If you don’t… Read more

Sure, if you except the flat-out false premise that Sterling was forced to sell the team solely over that recording, and not, as Bomani Jones aptly put it, as a lifetime-achievement award for being one of the most malevolent racist shitbags in the entire country as well as a blight on the entire NBA. Just because… Read more

We will have to agree to disagree on the question of whether this pair of so-far unproven misdemeanor charges is already, or should be, a larger scandal than a decades-long pattern of workplace sexual harassment and racist abuse. Read more

Sports owners have been forced to sell over less than being charged, but not yet convicted, of a misdemeanor? Which ones? Read more

Damn. DAMN. Read more

OK, these are good points! I think we’ve found a better common ground. Unfortunately I’ve gotta take my dogs to obedience school now. Thanks for the smart comments. Read more

Do what you like. I think it’s good to be careful with this sort of thing, because it’s very easy for the flavor of pork, especially cured or smoked pork, to overwhelm all the other flavors in this sauce. (That’s happened to me, in fact!) I think it’s good for your chili sauce to taste overwhelmingly of chilis. After… Read more

Eh, I get what you’re saying, but I also think you’re conflating separate issues. If your point is that employers might have too much latitude to fire an employee over public non-workplace behavior that ought to be considered perfectly harmless and unobjectionable in 2019, we’re in total agreement. That point simply… Read more

Sure. But a risk inherent to going out in public, physically or digitally, is that anyone might be there, and might feel any type of way about what they see. Read more

No worries!  Read more

I think you should try making it! This is a long article but stripped down to the actual steps this recipe is absurdly simple. It’s simmering a potful of dried chili peppers and onions in water or stock, then whirring it all in a blender. That’s really it. The rest is optional. Read more

I wasn’t addressing the issue of whether social media is “carte blanche grounds for firing.” I’m simply saying that public-facing social media is not your “private life.” Your private life is what you keep private. The things that you choose to do publicly, on purpose, in public-facing media, are not private. They are… Read more

What you post on public-facing social media is not your private life. It is your public life. On purpose. Because you’re choosing, voluntarily, to make it public.

Yeah I’m thinking of the 2- or 3-ounce bags, they’re about the size of a gallon ziploc. Read more

The coffee adds bitterness, which I enjoy, and the raisins are for sweetness and for how they sorta beef up the pasilla. Read more
