Not trying to defend it, but the woman said she didn't want him arrested, she didn't want to press charges, and she even cancelled her complaint. They also said she might have gotten her bruise because she blocked his doorway and wouldn't let him close his door.
Plus, there's no video of him pushing and kicking a woman like Hunt did, so this could be a minor disturbance involving his kid. Not some random fight in a hotel.
Again, not trying to defend him, but for now, I don't think AB is in the same league as Hunt, Rice, Hardy, etc. The league is investigating, which we all know is a joke, but if it comes out that he did more, than he's an asshole. But I'll reserve judgment on this one.

Yeah, I don't think AB belongs in the same league as the likes of Kareem Hunt, Greg Hardy, Josh Brown, etc. At least not yet.

'Get Up' is just so pointless.
Seriously, they had about seven people sitting around the table this morning, and none of them had anything interesting to say.

Jalen Rose is too annoying to listen to in the morning, and Greeny is just Mike Bennett levels of bland

It's very telling that the things ESPN invests the most time and resources into like First Take, Get Up, and High Noon are either big disappointments or completely unwatchable.

First Take has been unwatchable for a min and really only got buzz lately because Kellerman had to eat crow about Brady but is still digging in deep ala Skip Bayless
Get Up has been a waste since jump. Greeny, Beadle, and Rose was a bad combo and Beadle left after only a few months. They would have been better off switching up the format on Mike & Mike and moving them because this is another failed experiment they keep trying with Greeny

I've watched so much of High Noon waiting for it to be good TV and it isn't. A few cogent points I hadn't thought of, but just really not entertaining. Pablo and Bomani are smart guys, but it's two straight men! There's no comedic contrast. By the 2nd segment after commercial, I'm always on my phone and not even hearing it in the background. It's like the movie A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger. It isn't great. It isn't terrible. But it would be so much more entertaining if it were either of those things. First Take is what it is, and I hate that phrase. But it's blowhards pretending to argue. If that's your cup of tea, you do you. But I don't see the appeal. To me, the bigger issue is that ESPN keeps trying to make Stephen A Smith, a guy who hasn't been fun to listen to since the Slava Medvedenko era Lakers, and shoehorn him into literally every show on their platforms, and have people give their thoughts on his thoughts which is just so far removed from sports I can't stomach it. Get Up is a morning show about sports that no one asked for. Also, you could come up with these great ideas or add better personalities to make it watchable, but it's all planning around Greeny and making up for the fact that he's sucked outside of Golic his whole career.

Didn't have issues with it on Sunday while watching the Sharks-Blackhawks game It works fine, but no watchlist, shit doesn't pick off from when you last watched, and there's no preview screen when fastforwarding.

I will be here to defend the honor of High Noon. Being a half hour sucks compared to the original format, but it's a fun lead-in to Highly Questionable and I like the chemistry Bomani and Pablo have. It's a nice break from the shows where it's just arguing and hot takes. It's Bomani and Pablo (and Mina Kimes filling in sometimes) just having leisurely conversation like two guys shooting the shit. Or as Stugotz would say, just a couple of mensches cutting it up. And I think First Take is still one of their highest rated shows, though I don't really like watching it unless Stephen A's going nuts. Or he's going full pro wrestling heel on the Cowboys and their fans when they do a on-location show from Dallas.
Though I agree Get Up! is garbage. Greeny is so dull on television. And it's not like his former partner's doing much better because Golic and Wingo is shit, too, especially when they shamelessly lift bits from the Dan LeBatard Show.

Wingo is not a good full time host
Should have been Golic and Golic Jr

My boy Stugotz made it to the showdown by being one of the lowest scores on ATH.
That is really the perfect analogy for Stugotz' career. lol

Look, when you're breaking up fights between Eric Bledsoe and Joel Embiid, you better be making that money.
