Here we go folks.  First off, these shorts are freakin amazing as far as fit and comfort goes.  I could workout with ease in these shorts, and even sleep in them.  They're actually quite comfortable.  The downside is that I felt like a bit of a tool wearing them with the weird spartan logo.  I mean, I get it, patriotic spartan and all, but I try to keep it low key in the gym, you know?  Also, I'm pretty sure the pocket design was created by someone who is both blind and probably an alien with very little conceptual knowledge of how humans are designed.  As a right handed fella, I found the left-sided pocket to be very difficult to use.  Not to mention the velcro in the pocket makes the pocket difficult to open.  So, with all of these things in mind, I give these bad boys a solid 2 stars.  They're okay if you're a left-handed alien.
