Frankly, the Golden is way smarter than the rest of them. There are a number of huge sausages just lying there, and no little treat or bit of play with one's owner is ever going to make up for just running past them.

And that, children, was the only time a referee has ever made a bad call at the Bell Centre.

Racism???? Name me just ONE other example of a black guy in Washington DC whose every move is vociferously criticized by mouth-breathing asshats who get all their information from sketchy radio shows.

I don't understand all this talk about throwing people under the bus. If you've ever seen RG3 play, you know he'd bounce them about 10 feet in front of the bus.

If you told me ten years ago that Marvel would be hyping movies for the Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy while pretending the X-Men don't exist in all of their merchandising and canceling the Fantastic Four comic, I would have called you a goddamned lunatic.

Olbermann is far more eloquent and careful with his language. Perhaps more importantly, ESPN knows that if they tried to suspend him over his work he would quite the very next day; Simmons isn't that brave yet.

For all its talk of being big tough manly men from Mantown, the NFL is WAY more thin-skinned than the NBA. The NBA laughs that shit off. There's a reason Adam Silver is now far and away the most competent sports commissioner in the US.

How weird. Bill Simmons routinely questions the integrity of an ESPN partner. How often has he accused the NBA of rigging the draft lottery? I mean, he probably makes 50 references to the NBA rigging the lottery per year. That's a direct assault on the integrity of that league with no evidence whatsoever. …

Is Bill Simmons that guy you thought was a pussy, but when someone is about to nail you in a bar fight, Simmons hits him over the head with a pool cue?

Simmons gave a minor critique of his employer, and maybe went slightly beyond the bounds of what can be reported with 100% certainty in line with "journalistic standards", and he gets suspended for 3 weeks.

"Yup...these are my overlords."

Ray Rice gets two weeks (initially).

The crab stealing QB plays for Florida State not Florida.

Wow, that is mind blowing.

I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.

It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…

What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write…

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.
