Interesting that Jez made sure to note that Winston was "accused of rape" in the beginning of the story. More recently, it was reported that Winston "will not be charged in connection with the sexual assault". The fact is that the courts have decided that the accuser's claim wasn't worthy of prosecution.

Right. I was going to say something like: The word "idea" is always preceded by the word "dumb" when you're dealing with most aspects of Wrigleyville.

When is that hairstyle going to go away? I know the Southern boys got back on the mop-top bandwagon about 5 years ago, and it gained popularity. Heck, I think even Bieber had that going for a while. But aren't we over this yet? It's absolutely ridiculous.

Very nice article, thanks for posting this!

He deleted his twitter account. LOL!

I used to live in Honolulu, I know what you mean about Sandy's. More recently I've also lived on the Pacific coast of Guatemala in Monterrico, where the waves are as bad and often worse. I almost drowned there last summer, when me and a fellow swimmer were swept out into a washing-machine just yards off shore. I am…

The Seattle Moose broke his ankle rollerblading at the King Dome, I believe...too lazy for footage, but it's there if you google it.

These girls definitely hail from north of the Illinois border. Highly likely they're just in town for the weekend visiting friends, because you don't keep speaking like that once you rent a Lakeview studio and live in the city for more than a few months. I'm guessing they're from central-to-west Wisconsin, probably…

Happened in northern Florida (where they say "LA" to when referencing Lower Alabama), about 10 years ago. I agree that I'm totally generalizing, if you look at my other comments on this thread I'm happy to admit it. I was just releasing a personal diatribe on the internet, no reason for me not to expect folks to…

Of course you're right. And not everyone in Wisconsin is fat and drinks beer and eats cheese. But sometimes you have to paint with a broad brush in order to cut into a part of the population that needs a swat on the rear. FWIW, my own father is an openly gay man living in the south with his partner, and they like…

You said that much more nicely. Well done.

I've served my time there. Pretty much knew I'd had my fill when I went out to a BBQ joint for lunch with some lawyers, and one of them asked the 15 year-old black waitress if there was any Nigger Pussy on the menu.

Eh, I meant to direct it towards the suburbanites who make up most "cities" in that part of the country. The housewives of Sam's Club and their Home Depot husbands. Not the rural poor, but rather the somewhat wealthy folks that can afford to waste their money on RVs and week-long holidays.

Gracias!

College football in the South often gets romanticized: the hedges, the dress code in the student section, the "tradition & passion", etc. But let's be honest. These people have nothing else to do in the rural South. When asked on their death beds what the best moment of their lives were, they will either pick the…

So, why did he turn there at the end? That totally screwed him up! He should have just kept going straight...what was he hoping to accomplish? I'm guessing it's harder than it looks to go 200 MPH without crashing, but gee whiz man, hold the wheel straight next time!

The delightful giggle from the color man at :07 sums up all of our feelings on this.

They only allow drinking at halftime in the EPL, and you can't bring it back to your seats. It's a mad rush to the concourse at halftime, and for 30 minutes if you're lucky you can drink a pint in the hallway, then the beer vendors shut down like Fort Knox, and back to your seat you go, empty handed. Loss of…

THIS is why they don't serve beer anymore at college games, and THIS is why they're going to take it away from the pro events as well. In England they only open up the concourse for drinks before the game, and at halftime - thanks to hooligans like this jackass. And guess what? People still fill the seats. This is…
