Probably some wiped stamp discs. If he manages to beat Paul I wonder if he would imply Gannons using KC Pro Aviars like a certain other young gun from Prodigy did a few years back

Considering what kind of season he had. It actively has everything to do with a discussion like this. To believe otherwise is ludicrous. But, go ahead and try.
Can't believe no one has mentioned KJUSAs vocal displeasure about Prodigy being caught on camera at the All-Star event. Turn up the volume, it's kinda low. KJs reaction at the end might show more disconnect with Prodigy and their players.

Yeah I saw it after the time limit.
It happens when there's 3 different threads with the same discussion.
Weird how KJ proceeded to throw the boring disc really well though.
How would any company sponsor a player who (on account of his own foolishness) has lost the ability (temporarily) to do the thing he's been sponsored to do?
I don't have a problem with Nikko or Kyrie Irving or anyone else getting dropped from a sponsorship deal.
I've noticed that the courts tend to be disproportionately filled with these types, usually seeking relief for self-inflicted wounds. It actually seems to be a business strategy for some.

If you knew how serious the injuries were and that McD's used to keep their coffee just below boiling this hopefully wouldn't be a joke to you. She spent 8 days in the hospital getting skin grafts -

Don't serve coffee at 190 degree F. And then there will not be an issue.
At 140 degrees it takes 5 second to receive a 3rd degree burn. 3 second for a 2nd degree.

Thank you for that. Interesting read for sure. Might check if our HBO has the documentary.
Sure, I feel bad about her injuries but perhaps it wasnt only about this case. Personally I kinda think hot liquids are hot liquids, period and caveat emptor.

Kevin's complaint doesn't even make sense to me. what makes a disc "boring"? it's about as informative as saying that a disc "feels good in the hand"
"Liebeck's attorneys argued that, at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C), McDonald's coffee was defective, and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment."
thankfully you weren't on that jury
After this season it seems that at a certain point, some players might be setting their price tag too high.
I understand that you want to maximize your earnings as a professional athlete during your prime years, just wondering if it's sustainable.

Besides Eagle, who among the biggest names hasn't signed a long-term deal?

But she was also at fault. I understand the car didn't have cup holders....but still it is hot coffee, why would you put it between your legs and open the top? I know she wanted to add creamer and sugar....but couldn't that have been done a better way - like without the cup between your legs?
She did deserve the win since she just wanted McD's to pay her hospital bill and they refused.

It's also 'funny' because the whole public opinion of it is based of a very heavy McDonalds media campaign to smear the poor lady.
