I went to rehab for alcoholism, and now have about 4 years sober. My advice for not drinking at bars and parties? Don’t hang out at bars and parties. Sure, sometimes you can show up for a quick high-five and a plate of nachos. But don’t set up camp. Grab a seltzer water, say hello to a few folks, and remember that…

This sentence stood out to me as well. Little rich girls can buy many things, but street cred isn’t one of them. The only times she took out her earrings during her “coming of age in Brooklyn” were when the diamonds got too heavy. I didn’t even know who this person was before, but I think she’s pretty horrible.…

Rapists and murders are certainly “flawed human beings”, we’re not going to argue that. Certainly doesn’t make me feel sympathy for them, though. Being crazy and harming other people through manipulative plotting is not going to get you any pity points in my book. She’s a monster and should be locked up, just like…

Alcoholic here, almost 4 years sober. I thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster I was never introduced to Oxy, as alcohol almost killed me on its own. I chat with lots of people who are trying to get off the ‘scripts, and it sounds really challenging. Those interested in quitting always are at the point where they’re…

I agree that the stadium experience is vastly overrated. I also watch from home (in Latin America) and haven’t lived in my team’s home city in almost 20 years. That said, if the Vikings had moved to Los Angeles, I’d have been really pissed. And I wouldn’t have cheered for them.

Well said. I also think that the author’s experiences would be verrrry different if she’d spent her time abroad in, say, El Salvador, China, or South Africa. The author felt comfortable, open, and free in London, which likely influenced her experience. As an American who lives permanently abroad (in a country where…

I couldn’t understand a word by Kevin Harlan during that whole sequence. I think I heard “on the doorstep” and “Curry” - aside from that, it was complete jibberish. The clip starts with “Aaareee-swaa-tuuu-propellah” and finishes with “Abadalabah, paaa-puuu-saahhhh!”

Yeah man. Growing up around water, I did some really dumb shit with my friends that could have killed me as a teen. If I’d grown up around an Olympic Bobsled track....well, let’s just say this type of thing was right in my wheelhouse. There but for the grace of god go I, etc.

How can you not smile when watching those highlights? John Scott was clearly having the time of his life, and so were the rest of the players. Well fucking done, Mr. Scott.

I loved that one. “It’s open to anry college...annry kollish...” THUMP.

Same with Clay Matthews. He’s the Great White Hope captain on defense, playing up north in a blue collar whitey-town. The media worships that asshole, and I would love to see his name dragged through the mud. I’m also a Vikings fan so it would be a great to see his career go down in flames.

If you don’t find this weird....then you’re living in a completely different world than I am. “Wish lists” are for kids 12 and under. By age 16, you stop asking for things and just take what you get - most of the time that’s cash. I’m pretty sure this girl (she ain’t a woman!) is fictional, because I can’t imagine…

True. But I think “success rate” is kind of a weird term when it comes to alcoholism, don’t you? I’m 3.5 years sober. I don’t think I’ve either failed or succeeded. I’m just a human being with a condition, and if I don’t take precautions or monitor myself, I could get sick again.

I’d love to pile on....but that pretty much sums it up. On that same note, St. Louis folk also like to pretend that their city competes with Chicago for Midwestern dominance, which just shows how delusional they are. It’s an irrelevant city (maybe that’s sad?) in an area that’s quickly becoming the Midwest equivalent…

Hmmmmmmm......

St. Louis is a good baseball town, but they’re definitely more of an Arena League Football city.

Maybe the NBA will immediately respond by putting up nets everywhere and plexiglass barriers like they’re doing in baseball? Just kidding! But, it does give me an opportunity to get out my crystal ball....

Peep Show (UK) is great binge-watching material. They are in the middle of their final series - Season 9 - right now. Do yourself a favor and watch Seasons 1-8 (available on youtube) this holiday season and catch up just in time for the final episode. Mark & Jez are horrible/glorious characters who you can’t help but…

Ahhh, alcoholism. Looks like Johnny fled back to a college town in TX to try and recreate the good ol’ days. Back when drinking was fun and new.

Thanks. I’m going to read Deadspin either way, it’s just a minor feature request. I work for a website so I know it’s not always as easy at it sounds to just “add stuff” like score bugs just because one person wants to see it. Have a good day!
