I have a crush on Rachel Nichols

Did you see the sideline reporter for TNT covering the Lakers game tonight? Oh my.

That's Joe Smith's wife, Allie LaForce.

He pitched in the World Series.

She was working, too.  Glued to her phone between reports, I'm sure.

she's surprisingly thick.

I'm assuming pronouns.  Maybe I should ask what they prefer.

Astros Playbook:

1) Be Total Jerks

2) Lie about being Total Jerks

3) Get Caught

4) Apologize for Being Total Jerks

 

4) Apologize for Being Total Jerks*

*... but only if anyone was offended.

I don't think Gerrit Cole or his wife are not in the know about the amount of Oxy that these ball players do and abuse. 

Sexist comments though coming from the front office (not a media guy working for the team), that's heavy. 

You know that double-negative makes your statement mean the opposite of what you probably meant.

Has anyone compared responses in this thread to the angry woman (metoo) thread on the politics board?

I'm sure the Hitler Youth Infirm have some dynamite, insightful takes.

Anybody want to work in PR?

Between the Angels and the Astros organizations, there should be quite a few openings.

Dude did "Investment Banking" at EY, which is not even a bank. No wonder he's such a tool.

Its been comically universal disdain fired their way.  You half expect a statement from ISIS, saying "yo man, f#ck these guys".

Jesus f*cking Christ, these guys suck at PR.

Astros GM Jeff Luhnow weighs in "we may never know his intent".

Seriously, f*ck the Astros.

It’s funny that they would have been better off just literally not commenting at all.  
 

the only one that hasn’t been a complete embarrassment about it is Hinch.

They keep doubling down on stupid.

 

“What we really don’t know is the intent behind the inappropriate comments he made. We may never know that because the person who said them and the people who heard them, at least up to this point, have different perspectives.”

The guy could not look any douchier.

Thought it was cool to IN YOUR FACE to a bunch of women in the locker room about the domestic abuser being on the team.

SI picks up the story, offers the Astros to comment, they say, 'nah, pass'.

Story comes out, Astros just try to lie their way out of it.  Too many other other corroborating witnesses uphold the story.

Then the Astros try the 'blew it out of proportion/misconstrued' angle.  SI says, "hey assholes - we asked you for a comment before we ran it.  you declined.  suck it".

 

Then, after their lying didn't work, Astros go with the 'sorry if I offended anyone' routine.

 

F this guy

 

He's a douchier version of Don Jr.

[Amazing Larry]

Women should not be allowed in the locker room unless they take their pants off.
