    And this freakin' guy:

    The weak defenses of Ray Rice are blasted in this very good column:

    Someone needs an industrial-sized Keurig for all the mugs of STFU required.

    I suppose actually reading the link would be too time-consuming for you?

    You have 8 links. We don't have all day. That's stupid in itself

    There's a Ray Rice thread already, isn't there? All the stupid is being discussed there, to be sure.

    I wrote on another discussion that Robinson's comments are a mixture of his plain ignorance regarding victims of abuse and his frustration with how someone could seemingly not do a simple common sense thing, get out. Or as someone has suggested, perhaps on behalf of his employer, the 49ers, he was blaming the victim to help frame the issue for the pending Ray McDonald matter.

    So don't read. Or post a response. Taking the time to read a post, then respond, then complain the post was stupid, is kind of dumb on your part. It's like the readers on a web site who take the time to scroll down a story, past 20 other responses, then post "who cares?" Well, they did, to that extent.

    i thought this thread was about Peter King, Chris Berman, Christ Mortenson, John Clayton et al

    and seriously, who cares what Paul Fucking George thinks? Does he think? Another undereducated athlete. He tweets, but who reports it?

    BTW Stephen A Smith needs no qualifier or reason to be stupid. He is a mental midget, regardless of topic.
