  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The cackle booming across the land you suddenly heard is Boras having a hearty laugh.
  4. 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?"
  5. The only people that "forgot" are those that want to forget about it. I don't know what else to tell you.
  6. Good news! That is one powerful pacemaker you have there.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Yeah, but we'll definitely remember the time Patrick Kane raped that woman.
  13. I hope they bring him along and he clobbers Southpaw and then busts Andy the Clown's ghost.
  14. 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
  15. That would be seriously overpaying. Plus the Phillies are likely looking at this in part as a way to trim their payroll costs.
  16. How is that only Schwarber's 8th HR? It feels like he's hit 10 times as many.
  17. yeah i cant wait, he gets hot and proves he isn't a lost cause and then we don't see him ever again starting 2016 season So you DO understand how NSBB feels about you.
