Kalyn Kalher is killing it on the Deshaun Watson story at Defector. Just a real good, deeply reported article that adds a ton of context.

That was a really good read, and based on the fact that I loving hate Tony Buzbee and otherwise had no quarrel with Deshaun Watson I instinctively wanted to just say "nah they lyin'" but that article does put a lot of good context around it. Though still gently caress Tony Buzbee

R.D. Mangles posted:not this thread's finest hour Yeah, even after Megan Greenwell posted that long, long story on Deadspin about had happened to Magary and how frightening that night was for everyone, there were still some jackwagons here insisting it was all a false flag and Magary was just blackout drunk and fell and hit his head. It was pretty gross.

Hasnt Magary himself said he was extremely drunk at the time, even though it wasnt necessarily the cause of the incident? I know I read his eventual Deadspin piece, which left the actual cause ambiguous (because the doctors themselves seemingly didnt have a satisfactory answer, not because he was playing coy).

Per Magary's wife, and Greenwell, he was not drunk. And the cause wasn't ambiguous: He had a massive cerebral hemorrhage, most likely caused by a weakened blood vessel in his brain. That's the long and the short of it, there was no nefarious cover-up and the way some people were obsessed with finding holes in anyone's story in some bizarre attempt to dunk on Magary via the Internet was really bizarre and, frankly, sick.

I got a pretty bad concussion last night and am still sort of piecing things together and gradually feeling like myself. From Drew's Defector article:quote:Its a hell of a thing to wake up inside a mind you dont know, especially when youre still under the impression that its the same mind you always had. I felt this acutely even though I was only thinking a little foggy and sporadically skipping some short term memories. That must be terrifying to go through his experience.

Magary at some point shortly after he woke up from his coma, and 100% not lucid, got a hold of his phone while in his hospital bed and tweeted he had been drunk. He also tweeted something to the effect that suddenly blood started coming from his neck. So, y'know, probably trust the people who were there and lucid. It's not even like there's be any reason to cover up if he had been drinking.

morestuff posted:NYT would honestly be a pretty good match for them A better one than Axios. I really like the Athletic, I just don't know how it's possibly sustainable as a business model. But then, I've thought that about a lot of companies that somehow survived for years despite not having an obvious path to making money like Tesla from 2012-2018 or Uber since it was founded.

Apologies, I wasnt accusing Drew or any of his circle of lying, I was apparently just foggy about what hed said himself after the fact. And of course if he was actually drunk at a party and also happened to have a brain hemorrhage, its not like thats any kind of scandal.

Yeah it was just that the news was weirdly broken to the public in pieces that seemed conflicting at the time.

I think some people connected the dots between him quitting drinking after the incident and assumed it was because he was drunk at the time. But hes pretty open in one of his books about drinking being a problem for him and his denial about it being a problem for a long time.

He also had to quit drinking after the incident because alcohol consumption is a huge risk factor for another brain bleed.

Congratulations to The Atlanta Journal Constitution who managed to put up like 3 separate headlines about Colt Brennan dying without actually mentioning his loving name. https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-...n=snd-autopilot The headline itself still doesn't mention it. The URL is the original headline of "Quarterback Georgia defeated in 2008 Sugar Bowl has died". I'm sure that's some SEO bullshit to get people to click through but come the gently caress on
