In that case he would have been equally involved in her life even if he wasn't shot.

Presented without comment, a 332-word sentence courtesy of Deadspin's Billy Haisley:

quote:

These rules, as so coherently laid out above, will certainly help grow the league by facilitating the introduction of new players of a higher quality, being as their salaries will be higher than what is currently allowed by the salary cap, and while a cynic may ask why they don’t simply open the market up and either greatly expand the existing cap or get rid of it all together, which would negate the need for these overlong and partially misleading rules (all of this is money can be used, it doesn’t have to be, and as evidenced by the existing Designated Player and TAM rules which are utilized to vastly different degrees from team to team now, there’s no reason to expect each team to actually “invest” these funds to the maximum allotted levels) and then answer his own question by pointing out how the money, if unused, eventually reverts back to “the league” a.k.a. the various franchise owners as a whole who themselves share ownership of MLS, rendering that $37 million figure if not wholly illusory then at least highly speculative and exaggerated, and subsequently posit that the real goal of the ever-changing rule book is to continually obfuscate the processes that allegedly constrain the centrally controlled league’s behavior, adding in clause after technicality after loophole until no one really knows why moves happen the way they do and no one can complain when, say, Clint Dempsey lands exactly where the league office wants him, or when that same club can now offer a salary high enough to sign a potential star homegrown player, like Stanford’s Jordan Morris, to ensure that their preferred markets stay competitive without ever facing the market pressures of any of the other top leagues they keep promising to contend with Very Soon Now, Just You Wait, that would entail specious reasoning that, if included in one big string of words, would be no more clear or concise than the rules he so cynically sought to lambaste.

This is especially funny to me because not only does my dad, who is a huge huge huge Beatles fan, have a December 8th birthday, but December 8th 1993 was the day the doctors at the hospital told my parents that I would be profoundly deaf from meningitis. Somehow he's never had a problem celebrating his birthday.

Some people just remain traumatized by the death of John Lennon. On December 8th two years ago while driving through Iowa on the way to visit some friends in Kansas City there was a guy on Iowa Public Radio replaying his broadcast from the night Lennon was shot. When the station cut back to him in real time he sounded like he was about to start weeping on the air.

He literally has nothing else to write about. Not counting the quick paragraphs that go with highlights from the Premier League, he doesn't write about anything else on deadspin. He posted the big whine piece on MLS years after even the most ardent MLS fans already knew the league was a mess.
