Yeah, but he looked sideways at one of our posters.  Does this U9 team do any vetting at all?

Bauer keeps owning this biatch.

Any updates on Trout?

 

I love it that Ohtani is a ray of hope in Japan, where Covid is still ravaging.

Signing top of the market free agents on the wrong side of 30?

I've seen this movie before.

Which hand does he punch vaginas with?

Holy Crap!

Ohtani is never going to be that guy unless he changes

Don't you dare suggest Ohtani change a thing.

As much as we liked Weaver and Lackey, they don't have half of Ohtani's talent.

It was phony Yankee Old Timer's Day at Angel Stadium last night.

This "Babe Ruth" was even fatter than the original.

I was at the game last night.  It seemed like the only ones carrying the Ohtani pillows were Yankee fans.

Then again, there were a lot of Yankee fans.

And they all went home sad.

And the women-beating players. 

The fans of vagina-punching players seem to be Angels fans.

I hated him.

There's some Super Fan vibe going on in this thread.

I booed Mo Vaughn for sure.

"They've got to be better," Javier Báez said of the Mets' fan base.

I've never watched this show.  I listen to Cousin Sal's gambling podcast.

Angelswin hats - either of these two

I acquitted myself better at our softball games.

It was Hubs.

So it is his image you are worried about and not whether or not he was actually a changed man?  

Sorry.  I interchanged 'rehabbed image' with 'changed man'.

Question I am still asking - what did he do to become a changed man?

I like that in yk’s mind there is no such thing as redemption.  Once a bad dude always a bad dude in his mind.  Both things could be true, he very well could have “raped” that woman, and then he could have been a champion for women later on.  They aren’t mutually exclusive.  Bad people mature out of doing bad acts.  

Okay, I will bite.

Understanding that the rape apology letter was extremely sincere (I say that without sarcasm - I thought that even after being wrung through a dozen lawyers, that letter was shockingly honest and sincere.  Not the usual "sorry if i offended" bs apology.)  What else did he do to rehab his image?

Coach his daughter's basketball team?  I coached my daughter's soccer team for years.  I know a hundred dads who coached their daughter's teams.  All with a huge amount of love.

Okay, what else?

It's my contention that his rehabilitation had to do with winning several more NBA titles.  81 points. 60 points in his last game.

But I will hang up and listen.  What did he do to rehabilitate his image?  Because rape is a pretty big hurdle to overcome.

Daddy, explain again why you had to apologize to that woman in Colorado.. and why you bought mommy another huge diamond ring.

In his death, Kobe was lauded as a champion for women.

It is a crazy world

It is actually a stunning apology letter in its honesty.  No other high profile athlete has ever even come close to apologizing for a rape.  

I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colorado. I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter. I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.

Speaking of wordsmith do you think he fucked her without consent?  Or do you think while they were consensually fucking he put it in her ass without consent?  To me one is clear rape, the other isn’t nearly as clear. 

Ah, the ol' Whoopi Goldberg defense.
