The "Jeffries/Jefferies" thing is just so weird; it's not like there's another player with a similar name out there, and it's not like "Alshon Jeffries" is any more "right" than "Alshon Jeffrey." It's odd the sheer number of people that default to "Alshon Jeffries," and I want to know why, dammit. Was some idiot announcer or radio guy calling him that repeatedly when he first showed up?

BRING BACK KYLE ORTIZ.

Most things in life are based on personal opinion. It usually only becomes "bias" when someone doesn't like that opinion. All people are doing are judging him based on his own history and reputation and the information available and rumored. It's just that some of those people are bad and think he didn't do it and he's being set up.
-
Yeah, they're a fun team to follow around here. There's a long list of teams I'd wish this collapse on before them.
-
I miss Marshall Brandon.

sulley, there's rarely any kind of smoking gun piece of evidence in a rape case (or most criminal cases, period), so when sports fans suddenly dig in their heels and take this absolutist position that "nothing has been proven" it's pretty obnoxious. We're all just discussing this in the court of public opinion here, and yeah, based on his track record and the accusation it's not a stretch for anyone to think that he did this.

sulley, don't be That (SVU) Guy.

If that happened to Kobe today things would have gone VERY differently. You can't keep acting like a the larger context of when these events occurred is the same. There's infinitely more scrutiny on this type of thing, and on the lives of celebrities/sports stars in general. I'll bet you good money that if Kane walks away from with this with anything less than complete exoneration he'll never be on the cover of another video game again (like that even matters when we're talking about something awful).

People still make fun of Jordan for the gambling crap, for Christ's sake. Congratulations on somehow avoiding it it, but people love to make fun of Kobe, including over the CO [expletive]. This reeks of people who are just desperately trying to convince themselves Kane is going to be able to duck this. This isn't 2003, kids; he's royally fucked. This is a different climate for this sort of thing to go down; there's a lot more scrutiny when it comes to sexual assault accusations and things like domestic abuse. The leagues all still have a long way to go, but we're well past the point where this would just be swept away. Hell, Kane's own previous indiscretions weren't forgotten before this popped up.
-
I am; these are things people remember and mock and ridicule and always will. When these guys die a ton of the commentary/discussion is going to be about their scandals; it's going to follow them forever. Plus this is a different environment than those events, and Kobe 12 years ago; there's much more of a push and outcry for these sorts of things to not just be swept under the rug or forgiven.
-
The cackle booming across the land you suddenly heard is Boras having a hearty laugh.
-
Hell, everyone still makes fun of Brett Favre for being an idiot with his dick pics, but I'll bet you think they forgot about that. And that QB in Pittsburgh...nobody EVER talks about him. Everyone sure forgot about Clemens banging an underaged country music singer. How many other major athlete sex scandals do you think are "forgotten?"
-
The only people that "forgot" are those that want to forget about it. I don't know what else to tell you.
-
Good news! That is one powerful pacemaker you have there. -
I don't think this is updated to include today, but he has a 3.29 ERA with a 1.226 WHIP, 2.44 SO/W and 10.3 K/9. Batters hitting .209 .299 .288 .587 off of him. He's only given up 1 HR in 37+ innings of relief work, whereas he gave up 9 in 38 innings as a starter this year.
-
In terms of public perception? Of course it didn't. Outside of Lakers fans and sycophant sports journalists it's one of the main reasons he's one of the most despised and mocked players around.
-
And instead of the adorable daughter playing songs on the guitar it'll be Ricketts playing a squeezebox for nickels on the corner by the pit.
-
I want to pull an 02 A's (was that the year?) I have a feeling this team will have books written about it too. And the movie would end up being all about Coghlan, Montero and Richards.
-
The Kobe thing never went away. Pick pretty much any Kobe article at random that has a comments section and it'll have crappy jokes and digs about that.
-
Yeah, but we'll definitely remember the time Patrick Kane raped that woman.
-
I hope they bring him along and he clobbers Southpaw and then busts Andy the Clown's ghost.
-
YASSSSS CLARK.
-
Then why start Castro? I say bring up Javy for 2B for this series. http://www.blcksmthdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ouroboros4.jpg

Don't let Kyle see this.
