See Jes.
You're not always a SOB and I knew you'd agree with me regarding Addison Russell.
Why cant you always be like this?

~sigh~

Two points --
1) Based on actually reading your comments, and knowing quite well both my position regarding Russell and everything I have written here regarding Russell (which doesn't encompass my entire position on him), I strongly suspect that our agreement on Russell is far less than you seem to think.  For instance I suspect that we both agree that Russell is a male, has played SS for the Chicago Cubs, and that his ex-wife or estranged wife (or whatever she is) is quite upset with him, and that while she has aggressively trashed him and his reputation, she so far has not set out in any meaningfully substantive form what if anything she says he physically did to her.

2) In class this morning I was explaining to my 8th grade Special Education kids how backhanded compliments are not only generally less than sincere, but how they generally end up making the person extending the "compliment" look bad, well, actually looking a bit disgusting.  The 8th grade Special Education kids all got it.
