Yeah I feel the same way, I live abroad so I don't get the network. When I come back to the States sometimes I'll try and watch ESPN in a hotel room or something. Then I see shows like "Around the Horn" and "First Take" and absolutely gag. Same goes for the SportsCenter coverage, especially when they try and create…

I get your point. But I bet if he wouldn't have been drunk and yelling at other drunk guys, he'd be walking to work today instead of being wheeled into a courtroom. As a recovering alcoholic I can confirm that many terrible situations can be avoided by just putting down the drink. I'm not sayin' this was his fault…

Suit him up, and if Brazil gets the lead sub him in late into extra time so he can be on the pitch. That would be kind of cool. But he shouldn't be on the field otherwise.

Recovering alcoholic and gambler here. The dark alleys that shit leads you down is no joke. Like you, I kept telling myself "this is normal", and thought I was somehow beating the system with my sports betting prowess. I'd remember all the wins, and none of the losses and bad chases. Every time I start thinking…

Grown man here. That's exactly how I would have reacted. Same goes for the "fuck yes!" celebration when he finally got the thing out. Having something that large with the power of flight inside the house is terrifying.

As an alcoholic, I could not be happier with my 2 years of sobriety.

America's Worst People doing America's Worst Things while listening to America's Worst Music.

Dude, chill out. We know the USA needed to have a lot of luck to even get out of this group - and we got some today. We'll take it. You'd be acting the same if England had somehow snuck by Italy. But you didn't, and aside from one nice ball from Rooney you got roundly stomped. And now the USA is primed to…

Pretty sure that women came up with the "we're pregnant" thing. I can't imagine a man dreaming up that phrase and thinking it was a good idea.

Men will watch women's volleyball to ogle as well - don't forget the whole Misty May & whatever thing from a few years ago. I think it's a body type thing for sure: men don't go for female basketball players, who are often too big (6'4"). Similarly, you don't find too much chatter about women's gymnastics, where…

Here's a thought: the tag fell off. Then, another shark or whatever ate the tag and swam around with it for a while. Then it crapped out the tag, and was found on shore. Isn't that the most likely scenario?

The Twitter account was fake. Might have wanted to check into that one.

Actually, I think we DO agree: I was saying that penis & testicles are much different....just like vulva and vagina. We should not use them interchangeably.

Interesting stuff. I know this is a South Side thread, but since Caray and Chicago baseball are involved I can't help but add this Wrigley photo. You know that "basket" that catches home run balls that hangs over the warning track? That was originally designed to catch drunk people. Here's a great photo of the old…

I viewed the beetle scene thusly: Tyrion has been able to figure out most people's motives in life: he believes he knows the motives of his father, sister, brother, Bron, the whores, etc. He's got a pretty keen eye. But he never could figure out the method to his cousin's madness. He wants to satisfy that…

I agree there's something about the WNBA that makes it unwatchable - it's much worse than women's college hoops. I think they try too hard in the WNBA to emulate the NBA - there's music, a loud emcee ("Jenkins for threeeeee!") and a lot of mugging and posing. For some reason it doesn't translate well...maybe that's…

Gaaack! I don't think she's going to cry!

If the only takeaway you got from my post was "123Awesome thinks she's going to cry", then you misread the entire thing.

Everything you said is true. Also: I'd feel uncomfortable attending a pro sporting event and watching the mind of an 11 year-old crumble in front of a huge crowd. She's playing against an incredibly difficult golf course and it's likely going to destroy her. What happens when she starts crying after she hits 10…
