You focus too much on legalisms. Scientifically and medically, the part of the brain that governs risk taking, long term decision making and regulates impulsive behavior doesn't fully mature until age 25 in males. Legally able and mentally able to make adult decisions are two vastly different things.

But that is why I want the statue down as well. Too many people are giving excuses that the death penalty on Penn State would harm innocent students and players. Tearing the statue down and seeing the ensuring riots would show that it is the Penn State culture that is rotten. Too many of those students and alums carry the cancer that existed in Paterno's, Schultz's, Spanier's and Curley's minds.

When, hopefully, that statue comes down, we will see that the people of Happy Valley have been brainwashed by Paterno and think like him. If they were in his, Spanier's, Schultz's and Curley's shoes, they would do the exact same thing. Only by forcing them to live without their football program and its cancerous culture for a while will they be forced to maybe right their moral compass.

Posted Friday May 18, 2012, About: Wade lets loose with expletive at Spoelstra
I'm glad the NBA's crooked officiating didn't work for this game. Wade should've been given a flagrant 2 in game 2 and been suspended one game. With the way he played last night, Heat might have been better off if he was suspended for that game.

McGee makes them look like geniuses.

Yeah, they played against many teams resting players but the Wizards still ended the season on a 6-game winning streak. Wall shouldn't have to tell his teammates not to sprint back on defense when the Wizards have the ball and a fresh shot clock.
Posted Thursday April 26, 2012, About: Nash has 'no clue' about his future
Westbrook isn't a PG. I have to laugh every time I hear commentators say how Durant sets up Westbrook for good shots. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? With Nash, they can slide Westbrook to the SG spot where he's better suited.
Posted Thursday April 26, 2012, About: Jordan fires back after Brown's blasts
I don't see why Brown doesn't get it. He doesn't like to play rookies and develop youngsters. The Bobcats only had a ceiling of being a 6-8 seed every year at most. The only way a small market team like Charlotte can get better than that is to tank to get high draft picks in a year with a Lebron/Wade/Rose/Durant type player.

Tanking is the best option for the Bobcats right now. Only stupid people think otherwise.

Definitely. Rodgers better protect himself up to 3-5 seconds after the whistle. An extra 15 yards won't help if he's out for the season.
Posted Monday November 21, 2011, About: Rodgers deflated after another win
Having watched that game, I could see why. Rogers missed several throws that even Curtis Painter and Blaine Gabbert can make. He was missing open receivers with barely any pressure. Sometimes, he wasn't able to see the open receivers at all and threw more difficult passes to covered receivers for shorter gains.

Posted Friday July 08, 2011, About: Sixers about to fetch nearly $300 million
People generally don't buy teams to make money, especially nowadays. That's why the most vocal owners tend to be the ones that did buy their teams to make money way back when. Most of the recent buyers bought teams because they wanted an expensive fantasy team.

Compare the P/E ratios of the Forbes estimates of NBA/NFL/MLB teams to the P/E ratios of companies like Microsoft and Apple and it's obvious nobody is buying these teams for money making purposes anymore.

These guys are just doing it to buy an expensive toy, knowing somebody else will buy said toy later on once they're tired of it. It's like buying a Van Gogh painting in some respects.

Funny, even after last night's 1/13 clunker, Wade is still shooting .453 for the year while Lebron is shooting .452. Wade's also rebounding more even though he's 4 inches shorter.
Posted Monday October 25, 2010, About: Magic in favor of contraction
How exactly are teams supposed to "improve" the product to get fans to come to the game when fans measure quality in wins and losses? Every game produces exactly 1 win and 1 loss. That means the quality of the product in the NBA is constant going by that definition.

Unless you guys want a bunch of 41-41 teams all around.
Posted Friday October 01, 2010, About: Haynesworth sat on $21 million check 'a couple weeks'
It's all relative, really. $13,000 isn't large when you have $21M.

I knew somebody who, before direct deposit was widely available, didn't get his paycheck the day it was available. He'd instead get it the next day or the next week. He had savings, unlike his coworkers, and he didn't want to wait in line with all of them during payday.
Posted Wednesday September 15, 2010, About: Jennings blames shoe sponsor for snub
His game is not suited for the international game, which his international experience showed. Rondo actually took a team to the Finals and got cut. The international game allows a lot more contact in the paint than the NBA so pure slashers with questionable shooting skills aren't well suited to it.

Curry, in contrast, is a shooter. That's what Team USA has traditionally lacked and the team had plenty of point guards already.
