Feared conqueror; scholar; poet; revered holy man; professional raconteur; soldier of fortune; aloof yet thorough lover; bandit; blazing gypsy speedboat. I have been called some of these things.
Yeah, I get it. Your arms are tired. That shouldn’t influence your opinion of us.

All the shitting on Kobe, mostly the especially mean-spirited and stupid shit from white women, has made me like him after twenty years of, at best, thinking he was an egomaniac ball player since I didn’t know or give a fuck about the rape charge. Seeing people become as much if not worse moralistic assholes as people they love to criticize for being stupid (i.e. evangelical and other right-wing Christians) really puts the cherry on the sundae of suck.
Look, what is being a rapist and a shitty teammate compared to being good at shooting long two’s and being nice to your own daughter? Priorities, people.
In context, I believe the women to which he is referring are those who hate some rapists and completely look the other way regarding other rapists — especially those who are not black men and/or prominent with their favorite social institutions (namely church, politics, and probably college football).
Yeah, fair enough. I interpreted the original comment as being a shot at everyone who’s criticizing Saint Kobe. If the point is that some people are hypocrites, yeah, can’t argue with that.
The ones who seem to take special interest and joy in attacking black men especially and other minorities, which often includes a disturbing tendency to belittle, ignore, and attack female minorities while doing digital blackface online – yeah.
I hate mean people. He was a selfish player? Oh, no. Jordan was also an asshole. So what. It’s this fucking tendency to treat this story like it is the one thing that should define him like it hasn’t been nearly twenty years where things have changed. Because I know some other lawyers here have been involved in the criminal side, I’m just going to say that the worst thing a person did or may have done doesn’t typically define them, specifically not the person they are 16 years later. People can change, and be different, and be more than some fucking item that others use to push an agenda. That’s what makes me a bleeding-heart lefty, that everyone can be saved, everyone has value, and everyone has a presumption of dignity. And while I can be as big a motherfucker as anyone when making jokes, they’re still jokes. Even guys like Jameis are just frames. I don’t give a fuck or think about them off this site, most of the time, and I know I wouldn’t be a dick to him and make crab legs and rape jokes to people around him any more than I would tell Tom Brady to eat shit and die to his face. It’d be funny as shit, but the reality is that I don’t give a fuck about Brady.
My point is that mean people suck, and a lot of this reeks not of people trying to be honest or accurate or anything else; it’s about mean people being assholes because it benefits them materially. Because what the fuck does it really matter or affect anything to treat him like a monster, or Vick, for that matter? Doing so doesn’t make anything better. That’s for goddamn sure.
No one is going to change a Chris Brown or MAGA or anyone else’s fan’s minds by being a belligerent asshole. It feels good to be right and superior and there is a rush from being violently mean about attacking them, but it doesn’t actually fucking matter. Same with Kobe.
The worst thing about my current Injury predicament: In my mind, I had written a pretty good Kobe Bryant Celeb pickakke that never got published. What could have been.
I’m up for Zombie Kobe Bryan Celeb Pickakke. I can’t be the only one.
Could be a whole genre. Zombie Frank Sinatra says “that Patrick Mahomes is one swingin’, ball-slingin’ cat! He’s gonna tear through the San Francisco defense like me tearing through every pussy in Palm Springs! 40-18! That’s not a score prediction, baby, that’s just the age range my lawyer lets me admit to! You should take notes, there, Sanchez!”
Top Three Overdiscussed Celebrity Deaths:
3. Kobe Bryant — ’nuff said.
2. John F. Kennedy, Jr. — basically, a good-looking dude born to a famous family dies a predictable dumb death. Sorry, Boomers, nobody else gives a fuck about “the heir to Camelot” or whatever the fuck you thought this entitled shit was.
1. Princess Diana — a good-looking woman who married into a famous family. I mean, it sucks for her kids and everything, but there were fucking mobs of idiots outside the British embassy holding candlelight vigils. Give me a goddamn break.
Wow, the Patriots really assfucked yer psyche? Here’s a thought experiment, instead of dwelling in the past, focus on the present … that is UT’s Pre-Bowl Shittacular! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_mcZVnDBvQ
Only nawt FAY-UH!!! thing here is that the Rev has time to think of a team that’s not even on the field tonight, but doesn’t have the time to CrimeBeat! weekly! THAT IS THE REAL INJUSTICE!
Game threado is up yo.
/watching “Enough” starring Jen Lopez. Her big butt? As per the rules, it did not lie.
Current forecast 63 mostly sunny. Chance of grilling 100%
Beers engaged.
I read that as “bears engorged” and I wondered what kinda bar you were at.
Happy fucking SBS.

“Hi there. A bunch of us love stories about zombies slowly chasing people.”

Hello from Newark International Airport and also fuck humanity in general
Ew.
Or, Ewr, to be more accurate.
Newark will do that to ya
It’s like a Vegas hotel on a diminished budget and worse food

“I hate white women who hate rapists” is a confusing yet undeniably hot taek.

Some quality Trumpian logic!

Oh, you mean Republicans. Ok, that makes sense.
Yeah, fair enough. I interpreted the original comment as being a shot at everyone who’s criticizing Saint Kobe. If the point is that some people are hypocrites, yeah, can’t argue with that.
agreed. And it’s weird, I don’t see any outpouring of criticism. It’s 99.99% “kiss his ass like he were a god amongst men” outside of DFO.
I travel in shitty circles.

And Paul Manafort is still in prison.

Tito’s. I’ve got a big assed bottle of Grey Goose, but that shit costs too much to replace.
Grey Goose with a big ass is called Grey Goosian.

(“British” good looking maybe)
Found a funny:
*feeding a Fruit Roll-Up into the ticket machine at the arcade*
don’t worry lil buddy, I won’t let you starve
“What’s an arcade” ?
A row of small shops people can stroll along in Britain. Kind of like a mall.
In additional breaking news… Kobe Bryant is still dead. Tune in to ESPN for round-the-clock coverage of this developing story.
SOMEONE gets me.

Well they got the Andy Reid clock management down.
Remember when they lost to the Dolphins? Here. Let me remind you:
You’re welcome, America!
I’ve always loved the fade to black at the end of this gif
Not even Kraft can come back after his beloved Orchids of Asia has been closed.
Mrs GTD did not get this memo. When asking about the game she asked which teams were playing and when told she asked which one had Brady. Lol,
Brady Quinn would like to thank her for her concern, but his shift at the Orange Julius doesn’t end until 4pm.
I work at Orange Julius?
-Trent Green
Whoa whoa whoa, id Trump still President? I am sure he will fix this issue.
He has threatened to withhold Salute to Our Troops funding unless the NFL puts the Patriots back in
Even better!
It’s important to stay hydrated.
Eh, but is it more important than not denting your hood?
I think he’s denting the trunk at the moment.
Her trunk will buff right out, it’s the Beemer I’m concerned about! 😀
At least there isn’t a turbo poking out of there, then imagine the damage they could do!
no brady, no problem
