More importantly, if you are nice to them, they usually have the power to help you out. I've found that if I'm stuck with a fee I don't want to pay and I'm honest about the situation (i.e. I forgot to pay my bill on time) and am as pleasant as possible to the rep when I ask them to waive it, they often will.

The NFL has partnered with U2 to release new guidelines for on-field conduct:

Even if that's true, what's your point?

I bet if you surveyed 100 residents of that town maybe 20 people would remember that it happened, and 2 would actually know the officer's name.

...but remained concerned the shirts could cause a disruption in the community that's still mourning the death of a sheriff's deputy killed in the line of duty in March.

I really like that "solid line/dotted line" scheme. Seems very sensible.

Where is "around here"?

That's how they beat the Celtics in Game 7 in 2010 - lots of Kobe misses and they just killed it on the offensive boards (helped by the previous game's injury to Perkins)

Hey, I may be hateful, and bitter, but...what was that third thing?

A similar incident of grand theft auto happened to one of the team assistants in Philadelphia, so the 76ers all pitched in 10% of their salaries for the season and bought him a bike.

If this image were real, it would grace my Christmas cards this year.

Zachtronics discontinued development of the game less than a month after its first release...

Let's face it, the animal had it coming.

Fascinating stuff, as always.

It's called gaslighting. The East German Stasi actually used it as an organized technique for fucking with dissidents.

The fumble/safety thing was actually a rule change brought about by the "Holy Roller" play that gave the Raiders a win against the Chargers many years ago. It wasn't designed with the Packer-Bills situation in mind, though they applied it correctly as written (which actually isn't that complex).

"I wish someone had pulled in front of him in the Heisman race, seems like it would have been a pretty easy way to get him to flip."

Hey, remember that time the NFL hired Robert Mueller to perform an investigation into the NFL's handling of the Ray Rice suspension? They're sure hoping you don't!

It actually did, but the comment was directed at Ed Hochuli.

I can't help but notice how none of the people who reached out to him could be described as "girls [he] fucked" and assume that during his college years he completely and totally embodied the unofficial CMC motto of "Drunk. Alone. Again."
