Speaking of Ian Eagle: he pronounces his name Eye-an Eagle. Not to nitpick, as he can go by whatever the fuck he wants, but to maintain grammatical consistency, it should be pronounced Eye-an Eee-ag-le

Yup. “Old white men” flashed through my head when reading this.

Yes.

Just a reminder of some of the things that have happened since Rae Carruth’s arrest and conviction:

This seems like a perfect segue into a story about the lack of minorities working in NFL front offices.

He did, but ultimately his request to trademark the crucifix was denied.

I’m saying it’s more than basic decency. And it’s not a low bar to call a teenager sitting down at that table an out of the ordinary kind act — applauding him for saying “hey, what’s up” would be.

Black boxes? Cover up? Where is Malaysian Airlines Flight 370?! JET FUEL DOESN’T MELT STEEL BEAMS!

The bar is so low because people generally suck. I agree that this fact itself is lamentable, but still... good guy is good guy on this one and it’s nice to see people acknowledge it.

You don’t have to explain why it is basically decent; I said that, I acknowledge that. Not criticizing this guy in the least. I’m merely pointing out that we’re at a point where basic decency from these presumably adult celebrity athletes is remarkable enough to warrant this attention.

Great. Now I’m crying in a McDonald’s. And it's not for any of the usual reasons.

Another IT guy here. Same. We have monitoring tools in place, but not once have we ever actually needed or wanted to bother using them. If people think you’re not being productive, you should be more worried about management and HR, not IT. We couldn’t give a shit less what sites you’re browsing as long as your shitty…

IT guy here, we don’t give a shit. Promise. We prefer to not have to archive your emails or monitor you. I would much rather spend my day arguing in the Kinja comments...so dont piss off your boss. Thanks!

The first such experiment, which was not the whole plane, was a disaster.

Unions didn’t suddenly go away 30 years ago. True, we’ve had expansion in sectors that traditionally haven’t been unionized and contractions in industries that are, but if people truly thought they were getting their value per dollar from unions there would be no reason not to join one. Instead, you have people…
