    And why do that?

    Didn't he give it a little more thought before he put it put out there?

    Narcissism. Arrogance.

    Pearlman baited John Rocker into saying those racist things in SI. So whatever

    Sarcasm? Anyone who's ever seen John Rocker's Twitter knows he doesn't need baiting to act like a piece of shit.

    Coincidentally, either does Pearlman.

    Typical Pearlman. As @QYFW said, a narcissist.

    You were working on a story and axed it, probably for good reason. I've done it and I'm sure many on here have too. It's frustrating, because you put all the work into it, and you want to complete it, but tough shit.

    Don't keep dripping little hints and pieces of it. If you want to publish it, publish it. At least have some stones to do one or the other, not this middle ground bullshit.

    You're talking about a guy's life here. Remove from the equation your fascination with yourself and social media. You're not that interesting.

    Oh, my god, he's got a limp. He's almost crippled. He's barely a man.

    Is this Brooks thing a tie-in with NBC's "Manifest"?
