    ban kevin permanently from the league and do whatever you can legally to not pay him another cent of his contract. let the players union try and make the case as to why someone who tried to kill a woman should get paid, see how that goes.

    Fractured neck vertebrae. That is just dis-fucking-gusting and attempted murder. Call it what you want, his defense attorneys certainly will, but IMHO he had one thing on his mind at that moment. If the player's union wants to bitch and moan about it then they have their own issues to deal with.

    This idiot needs an as whooping! Not just any ass whooping, but one that ends within an inch of his life so that he remembers it and learns from it. He has serious mental problems and a shrink is not fixing it. He needs to badly be humbled.

    Should someone tell the tweet writer that an acre is a measure of area, not length?

    That's a scary take. I just think he needs to be kept out of society for a period of time. I disagree that he wouldn't benefit from counseling. Obviously he's a bad guy, I don't think he should ever be allowed to play in the league again but answering violence with violence is a little disturbing.

    I agree. At the very least an extreme case of Bipolar. I was listening to an interview yesterday and the beat writer said how nice and pleasant he could be and then just lose his shit. Something is wrong there

    She was a WNBA player so presumably tall and fit. How much rage did he have to have to beat her that badly?

    He's 6'4", and she's listed at 5'9", and appears pretty slender. Probably not all that different from an average 5'10" dude vs an average 5'4" woman.

    Beat me to it. I was trying to wrap my head around how that screen would be measured, in terms of vertical wrap-around acreage.

    because I'm a dipshit....

    there are 43,560 square feet in an acre. A square acre has 208 feet per side. Which would be a 208 foot long scoreboard. However, the picture makes the scoreboard look about 12 feet tall, so an acre scoreboard would be 2/3 of a mile long

    if the scoreboard was 1 inch tall it would be 99 miles long

    I can keep going....

    I didn't see that but even if it was it's a sign that the Blazers were looking to sign veteran help when Winslow went down.
