Me too. We’re old. Especially for Deadspin. 

Personally, I would have stopped at a hotel, cleaned up gam-gam and the car and then continued on. Maybe found a local outlet of the car rental company to see if they could trade it in. It would cost, but that’s way I have a credit card.

Calories-in-calories-out is the only way to go and it’s free.

You’re welcome.

No. I don’t need my awareness raised. This was for people who do*, like yourself. And judging by your comments in other parts of this thread, it worked.

So you’ve made my point. Yes the braille is dumb and pointless. But no more dumb or pointless than all the other uniforms that are supposed to “raise awareness.” And for the blind? no? For the deaf and difficulty hearing? Absolutely. Booking ASL interpreters for some lectures I am working on. Next week, is large print…

I’m curious what you think of the pink uniforms to raise awareness of breast cancer or the cammo socks for memorial day. The purpose behind these stunts, other than MLB virtue signaling, is to raise awareness among people who are not immediately effected by the cause. People with breast cancer don’t need their…

You ever interact with a New Yorker who asks for “regular coffee” and then gets all huffee when asked if they want cream or sugar because in NYC regular coffee = with cream and sugar?

When I waited tables I had the best time toying with them. They took it so seriously and would get angry when showed evidence that NYC…

It’s honestly not as big a dilemma as you think. If these coaches are punished and it negatively impacts these players, that’s sad and too bad, but these people are not GUARANTEED any damn thing. We all suffer negative repercussions to the decisions of others over which we have no control every day of our lives. Some…

None of them should ever coach again anywhere. 

Going by “R. Jay” is like asking for your life to be an Abbott and Costello routine.

Just for comparison, I once signed up for an academic graduate program and because of the retirement of one professor, they shut the program down and nobody gave a shit about us actual students being denied the opportunity to learn in the program we signed up for.

And just when they were getting the whole Len Bias thing behind them.

I have not read Meyer’s contract in full. But here is the pertinent clause as reported by many outlets:

This is more of the AD’s job. What is Urban supposed to do, fire the guy without cause or make up a reason?
