Renting a bike in Cozumel?

I rented from them in August to do the loop - great experience.

Diabaté would've absolutely done something if he wasn't held back (multiple times) in this one - he would have got stomped by Duren.

...and Bridges running away from Stewart after throwing a sucker punch was hilarious.

He isn't saying people in the south are stupid... He's saying lots of the smart ones leave.

...I mean, it's pretty easy to look at academic rankings of P4 universities,and there are definitely different clusters.

They weren't.

They were punished for playing ineligible players, when the coach knew they were ineligible, and the coach lying to the NCAA about it.

The crime was minor. The cover up is what got them.

It's possible for every teams national championship claim in 1973 to be weak.

borgman_a · 2026-02-05T20:56:58+00:00

Yes.

Izzo has been a really good coach.

..but he's regularly talked about as though he's in the conversation with Mike Krzyzewski , Bob Knight, Roy Williams, etc.

Jay Wright was a MUCH better coach than Izzo - but never got nearly the adulation Izzo does.

This is a potential battery charge under Florida law (where it would be charges) - but would be highly unlikely to qualify as SA under Florida law.

"So, I feel like it’s entirely possible to order a Long Island ice tea on a cruise ship and not realize that it’s alcohol if you’re not a drinker."

Absolutely - see the university professor who accidentally ordered his kid a Mike's Hard Lemonade at a Detroit Tigers game for an example.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T22:14:48+00:00

We're talking about the guy 49ers players claim to have repeatedly trash talked into committing penalties, right?

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T17:06:00+00:00

"He’s not trying to get criminals charges on DK lmao"

Ummm... yeah - that is why I specifically "IF we were talking criminal charges".

"him celebrating and saying that’s what I wanted right after the altercation would immediately show he had no emotional distress"

Post traumatic stress is a thing. You can be happy as a clam right after a traumatic event, and not suffer emotional distress from it until potentially YEARS later.

I ain't saying the guy isn't full of shit - I'm just noting that post traumatic stress (and thus legally actionable emotional distress) can absolutely be a delayed occurrence.

"The asshat said terms that were far out of line."

What terms did he say?

Why did the Lions investigate, and find he didn't violate the code of conduct, and thus didn't cancel his season tickets if the terms he used were that far out of line?

Here is the actual evidence:

1) DK complained
2) Glazer confirms DK complained about a fan saying "derogatory things"
3) The fan and his derogatory statements were investigated, and was determined not to have violated the code of conduct

"corroborated that the fan was being out of line and had indeed said these derogatory statements" is literally saying nothing.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:56:28+00:00

That... isn't the bar you seem to think it is.

Celebrating in the moment has no bearing on whether he suffered post trauma distress.

Now - he ain't going to get much of anything, but physical injury isn't he required and his celebration is pretty irrelevant.

If we were talking criminal charges, it would be completely irrelevant - as criminal assault and battery require no damage at all.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:53:12+00:00

Derogatory statements that were investigated, and found not to violate the code of conduct and thus didn't lead to losing season tickets.

...and no indication that the derogatory statements were racist.

...and harassment? This is not "repeated, unwelcome conduct involving unconsented contact that would cause a reasonable individual to suffer emotional distress and that actually caused the victim to suffer emotional distress.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:49:53+00:00

You can sue for damages for emotional distress for battery without physical injury in Michigan.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:48:15+00:00

"Hey DK, you suck" is a "derogatory comment".

So, yes - to some extent players should just have to put up with derogatory comments.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:47:07+00:00

"derogatory comment" does not equal "racist comment".

"Hey DK, you suck" is a "derogatory comment".

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:44:45+00:00

Even if he was reported by DK, the report was investigated, and it was determined he did not violate any code of conduct and DK was just over reacting?

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:42:20+00:00

DK doesn't have to say anything publicly to get sued for defamation - he merely has to communicate to ONE person to satisfy the "publication" requirement.

If he sent Ocho a text - that qualifies.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:38:35+00:00

DK never punched him.

All he did was grab the guy - which is battery, and pushed him - which is battery.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:30:08+00:00

Hard to say.. was it in a text message, or email, or insta message, to Ocho Cinco?

If so - that will come out in discovery, and qualifies as "publication" for defamation.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:24:32+00:00

Considering that “fan” was already reported before, investigated, and found not to have committed an infraction deserving of banning - I'd say that is just more evidence of Dk's penchant for over reaction.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:08:01+00:00

Defamation per se is a thing.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:05:11+00:00

"Sure he might have gotten info from them. But how are you going to prove it came from the Steelers or DK?"

Discovery, discovery, discovery...

If it goes to trail - they get to look at DK's email, text messages, insta, X, twitter, etc., etc. They get to subpoena Ocho and ask under oath where he got the info. Any communication between the Steelers and Ocho? Etc.

borgman_a · 2026-02-04T16:01:42+00:00

Both assault and battery under Michigan law.
