Eh, better random than nonexistent. You never know what your passion is for until you discover it.

Methinks Prisco is playing the long game. He'll keep dropping references to those two concussions, until he's laid enough groundwork to sue Pop Warner and his high school for turning out to be a complete fucking moron as an adult.

I love how some queer radicals believe that the acceptance movement would be even a fucking shadow of what it is today without the "straight but not narrow" crowd.

Good on you for using AJA for the source.

Sentenced to 270 days.

All true, but note that "loud fraction of the fanbase" wasn't enough to get him fired, while his complete collapse the next season was. Probably the biggest damage it did to him was cutting him off from the post-coaching "coach emeritus" gravy train that Gene Stallings enjoyed; instead he disappeared off the face of…

Depends on his 40 time.

lol I love how my profile pic is of a smiling Joe Paterno in front of the gates of Auschwitz and I keep making references to living in Alabama and people think this means I'll defend JoePa somehow

It's safe to say you're not very familiar with the Alabama fanbase. "Adore" is not a word anyone here would use.

Mike DuBose was ran out of town because UCLA destroyed them on national TV in 2000 and their season avalanched from there. Southern Miss destroyed them 21-0 in Legion Field. They lost to Central Florida on their own turf (during Homecoming, no less). So that comparison doesn't parse.

Joe Paterno hadn't won 3 national titles in four years. He didn't have the concensus title favorite going into next year. And most crucially, he didn't coach for the Alabama fan base.

One day a group of my friends tried to come up with a crime horrific enough that this state would turn on him. Two six-packs, 30 minutes, crime after strange, horrible hypothetical crime and nope- as long as he kept winning games, the Tide fanbase would stand behind their man unquestioningly.

Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana ranked in "ebony".

That’s our country, so everybody has to respect that.”

Great job, io9. Just what every porkchop who spends 14 hours in front of a screen and walks a total average of 75 yards in a day needs- another reason why it's not their fault.

THANK YOU. Nobody wants to seem to admit that Emperor Ring Gil Scott-Lardner Jr. has no fucking clothes.

Maybe it's unfair to call George Will a dumbass;

Male-to-male transmission rates are the highest in unprotected sex, followed by male-to-female, and lastly female-to-male.

Worthy cause, but I start to itch on my neck thinking about organized ideological drives to change Wikipedia's content.
