I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I rarely think that anyone associated with a profession is one way or the other. I realize there are plenty of cops that are cool and some that are bad. Loads of lawyers are dicks, but some are really nice. But gently caress everyone associated with the towing industry unequivocally. If you don't unleash a barrage of profanity every second you are dealing with them then you are a giant pussy/bad person.

Towing companies are bad, not all of their employees are bad, this woman appears, anecdotally, to be bad, and the ESPN reporter involved was bad.

Controversial take, I know.

Nope, every single one is a terrible person. This woman is a hero.

drat you know your pet project is doomed when your underlings are ratting you out before it even gets going. Hopefully someone at ESPN has the sense to smother it in its crib.

Actually I don't hope that, we'd be deprived of so much material for this thread.

It seems like the actual staff is very talented and would probably write a ton of great stuff, which would never see the light of day because Whitlock is apparently a megalomaniac.

If PFTCommenter took over Cowherd's spot it would be the greatest troll in history because it would make the people he's mocking his direct audience.

Honestly, how could you tell the difference. You can't hear spelling mistakes.

edit: Actually, that would make for a hell of a game. Real quote from a talking head like Bayless, Stephen A Smith, Cowherd OR a PFTCommentor quote.

Are we having a Douche of the Year tournament this year? If not, maybe we should have worst sports writer/tv guy tournament. Omar Kelly is a number 1 seed for sure. Also, not exactly sure why one would MRI a quad...

How about you get the Goon Draft goin!

Sure thing. Maybe, I don't know. I am super busy and would love to run a sheep, mock draft of some sort, and even .gif of the year, however I am getting married, trying to get my future wife into the country legally, and working and all that. If nothing has popped up in a week or two, I will throw something up and try to run. I just don't feel like I can it the same way as it has been in the past.

Also, there is no requirement for running any of these things! If you are a college student, a dead-lifting IT worker, or even a lawyer bouncing between fields in desperate search for a stable job, you too can run any of the standard off-season distractions. Basically, if you get there first, its yours for the season. Feel free to start a thread and run something!

I just got turned onto Freezing Cold Takes and now I want them to post hourly with this poo poo. Its amazing. I also like that they don't go after guys making predictions simply because they have to, and seem to focus on the guys that claim to be plugged in, or who double down on their assertions.

It couldn't be Armando, he's actually in with the FO.

Omar is the only guy who still tries to break stories with his poo poo opinion and he has very few player ties anymore.

Who else could it be? I wanted it to be Omar so bad but I may have been reading too much into it. Calling it dreadful was awesome regardless

I doubt Omar would straight up lie though. Not if its very easy for him to be caught


I feel like you are giving Omar too much credit. Also what type of lawyerin you doing these days?

I quit this morning because my boss literally us every cliche of a shady south Florida lawyer. I'm done. Tax law in Denver or In house counsel work at FPL is next for me.

And man Omar might hate Tannehill more than PFZ does bc lol at him calling Tannehill not tough get the gently caress out

Haha, I bet that dude is in the cocaine addiction recovery group that is specifically for south Florida lawyers too.

I know some people at FPL. Aside from their lobbying to make solar power impossible in the loving Sunshine State, its a pretty well regarded company.

LeBatard was like the only one talking about how the NFL lost against the NFLPA when they hid millions of dollars from the players. He is also one of the few ESPN guys that tends to side with players of the league on most issues.

Tillman is an absurdist symbol for the whole thing. People are arguing about whether or not to put him in the Hall of Fame. Whether he gets in or not has zero bearing on the actual world. If he gets in, it doesn't devalue anything, it doesn't make the Hall some sham thing and even if it did, who the gently caress cares. We treat the HoF like some kind of loving temple that is so important and sacred, when it's literally the football equivalent of the high score screen in an arcade machine. The only people who argue about his inclusion are so far up their own asses that they think football is somehow more important than it should be.

Pat Tillman left a lucrative, high paying job to defend his country. Service of others should be the thing that we value most, and he was an embodiment of that notion. I honestly don't care if he gets in the HoF or not, but I think arguing about it in the same way as arguing whether or not Hines Ward belongs in the hall (he does) is the stupidest loving thing and anyone who actively engages in that debate is a loving idiot who lacks all perspective.
