If these are the high points, I am even more convinced to never see it.

Early in my freshman year, just after beginning fraternity pledging, our pledge leader said that our pledge class all needed to rage with him. We all thought this sounded like a great idea. My contribution was a half dozen enormous cheap Honduran cigars I bought at CVS. We drank cheap beer and shots of Jim Beam,…

Have we figured out what the hell was happening here? Would it be more or less creepy with the beard? I think more.

Ole Miss came at Alabama like a dark horse.

He's givin' it the Boozer.

Magic has become Jesse Jackson so gradually I didn't even notice!

You are being kind.

You sleep under a blanket every night, even in the middle of a Mid-Atlantic summer?

...and all I get when I express similar opinions is maybe one or two challenges to my manhood — "you're a faggy libtard," shit like that.

When I was a GW undergrad in the 90s, Trachtenburg wrote a weekly column in the school paper that ran opposite the letters to the editor. After the announcement of yet another 10% tuition increase that page was full of complaints, including those pointing out that nobody's scholarship was being increased.

I cannot sleep with a growling stomach, and my two go-to snacks for this purpose are either a slice or two of cheese or a spoonful of peanut butter. Just now, I found myself unable to choose, but I thought of this argument. Without hesitation, I removed a slice of Provolone from the fridge, spread some crunchy Jiff…

Oh yes. Also, the ones that are congealed with nose hair. The index finger and pinky just kind of poke them around. You need the thumb for extraction.

As my deployment of the phrase "moral handwringing" was intended to indicate, I don't find the discourse of thuggery useful at all, and I would not apply it to NASCAR drivers.

I really hope not. Maybe the police confiscated that tire as evidence, but then you'd think they'd just declare the whole car as evidence.

Ooops, yeah, I meant *right* rear. Thanx.

Stewart certainly wasn't avoiding the kid. I'm sure he wasn't trying to hit him, but he wasn't trying to miss him either. Depraved indifference, etc.

Fighting happens in all of these sports, on and off the field. Only in the NBA and NFL does it cause moral handwringing about thuggery.

...and ESPN just finally said a bit more about it than FS1 did.

This is an argument people have already made about hockey, but it's just as valid here.

Fox Sports 1 is reporting on it now, very briefly, urging people to check their website for the "very latest." ESPN continues to ignore the story on both media.
