I’m guessing he had no idea the guy had fired a shot at the building.

Totally unrelated to the poll, but hopefully someone will see it, because I’ve sent a couple of emails to no avail. Please, please do something about ad placement on the site. I’m using Firefox (locked in to an older version at work, but not that old), and I want to support you with not ad-blocking. I’ve got it turned…

I loved having him as a Blackhawk and he’ll always have a place in my heart. This is heartbreaking. I hope all his friends and family have someone to share stories and love with today, and to remember him with.

I have to jump in and thank you both (you and IAMRU2) for the best, most thoughtful, most informative and genuine and kind and heartfelt and helpful exchange on this site I have read in probably over a year. I have been negotiating a few of the same questions as you have, though from a slightly different perspective,…

Who needs to incite? They talk like that all the time anyway.

It was Webster’s, actually. And that’s not what hyperbole means. And I wasn’t the original user of ‘chilling,’ so we aren’t talking about me at all, so ‘they’ is, in fact, the correct pronoun. You fail reading comprehension, in addition to everything else about this pathetic little squeeb for attention. Mediocre job, m…

People have been using “chilling” in that context since 1815 (first recorded usage, at least). You’re not seriously suggesting that attention-seekers on social media are just coining it now, surely.

People who aren’t 14 or otherwise too stupid to understand emotional and subconscious cues know that there can be an…

Fuck Jameis Wilson.

How the fuck is being chilled by someone’s affect and demeanor “self-victimization for attention?” That doesn’t even make sense. In fact, your comeback is far more performative in every way.

I’ve never been so happy for a team and fans that aren’t my own. Yeah Caps! Yeah Caps fans! I even got that prickly-eye feeling watching Ovi lift the Cup. Man, I was really needing something good, I guess.

This is some extraordinary writing. Well done, Mr. Roth.

They already are. Concussions, the absurd advertising, terrible scheduling, bad on-screen product, bad press from so many angles, all that had been driving down viewership long before the protests started. Trump and Co. like to point at the anthem protests and say “look, look, people are boycotting because of them!”…

True blue fans, right there!

What a fucking choad.

Lifelong Niners fan, here. One of my first memories is my dad taking me to a game in Candlestick when I was about six years old. I live in New York, now, but my heart’s in the Bay area today. God Bless, Dwight Clark, and all your family. Thank you for the joy, and the amazing years of amazing football. I hope you are…

I saw somewhere that less than 10 Eagles players were going to show up. I mean, he can’t have THAT. That would just be embarrassing. So he tantrumed out of the whole thing.

You...you can’t quit! You’re fired! Yeah! Take that! I’m in charge! I’m the biggest and most important! Nobody refuses an invitation from me by god! I’ll just cancel the whole thing and make believe it’s about the flag! Yeah, see how you like that!

Jesus Christ. Every day of this administration is a migraine.

They generally won’t run into you unless they’re blindly panicked or actually don’t see you. She clearly is familiar and comfortable with horses, and knows that, so that’s how she did it. Aw, that horse wasn’t jealous, he probably just thinks of those kids as little Pez dispensers of carrots!

Aw. She should have been moving in the same direction as the horse when she grabbed, so as not to get spun and dragged, but still, it was a nice stop. He’s a nice boy, that horse.

Uh. Bullshit? Bullshit. She’s clearly fairly horse savvy, and in stopping a running horse, though not really particularly brilliant from a dead stop facing it if you’re going to be grabbing for reins, she did a nice job of it. He wasn’t screaming past her, he wasn’t freaking out, and she wasn’t anywhere near tripping…
