Glad to see Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears get some love on here. Easily my favorite band to see live recently.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is definitely Kanye West's masterpiece but for my money he hasn't made a better song than Gone.

Who in the hell considers it bad form to eat the remainder of a sandwich or hot dog if the meat is already gone? I'll eat the ketchup and mustard off the plate if I'm hungry enough.

The fact that Tom Corbett hasn't received more criticism and scrutiny is a disgrace.

Agreed, and if caught stealing from the safe you're not just fired, you're arrested and prosecuted. It's not different than stealing from a bank vault.

There's never any evidence of anything until it's attempted. I think that's the point. I'm not saying it will work at all, I'm just saying its wrong to outright dismiss it because "the country can't it".

I did not say that the fans would run the team, I said that a lot fans of consistent losing organizations would be open to a new strategy (see Dolphins Wildcat & Broncos Tebow). That was a direct response to your statement regarding what fans would accept so your Gladiator comment is pretty misguided. I'm from

Wait so you think this country, that not only puts up with but seems to love whatever you call an offense with Tebow at QB, wouldn't be able to handle the excitement of a team never punting? How often do you hear the crowd groan when their team is going for it on 4th? Almost never. You often hear crowds groan when

Hail to Pitt.

Agreed. You can even take that further and say its not limited to the Olympics. An obvious example would be Tim Tebow despite not being anywhere near the best in the game.

Hmmm. I get that everyone is (deservedly) piling on NBC but I think this post is a little misleading as well. The theory seems to be that they didn't show the routine because they wanted to add drama but then why would they have shown the much worse Russian floor exercise the really did secure gold for the US?

Your points on staying with the flow of traffic are definitely true but also not very relevant to the original article. If you are staying in the flow of traffic the odds that you're going to be pulled over are minuscule. I regularly have driven by speed traps going 75 in a 65 and not gotten pulled over because I was

Yeah but I don't see any parents paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kid to go hang out with OJ, Casey Anthony, or Roger Clemens. Penn St doesn't have the option of quietly going away.

How?

It became a heckling issue when the author implied that heckling during a show is a valid form of feedback. Obviously saying it would be funny if another person was gang-raped is a greater offense but that doesn't mean that heckling is OK. It is possible that both are in the wrong in this situation. We don't live

OK well it looks like we have a lot of common ground then. I really thought from your first reply that you were defending anybody's right to critique a comedian in the middle of a show. That would open the door to situations where homophobics, who feel that being gay is horrible, speaking out at every openly gay

I completely agree with most of what you say. I don't think Tosh is funny and I think his response was even less so. However, when you buy a ticket to go to a stand up comedy show you are NOT buying a ticket to start a dialogue with the comedian during the show. Just as buying a ticket to a play or a ballet doesn't

True, but the article seems to make the point that it is ok to tell a comedian in the middle of the set that you are offended when I don't agree that is the case. Tosh responded in a completely over the top, offensive, and unfunny way, but saying that condemning a heckler is the same as defending rape is ridiculous.

Agreed for sure. But saying that her "feedback" was justified isn't correct either.
