I wanted him to do to her what she did to him.

Just last night I saw a commercial for another new show he's apparently hosting on NBC. Wonder if they're going through with that one?

Now all I want to see is Clint Dempsey doing the triple deke on a breakaway.

Totally, although Beecher was pretty multi-dimensional, and other characters were shown to be worthy of sympathy (Augustus and his addiction, Miguel and his family of prisoners, Poet and his book of poetry). But yeah, the tone of the shows couldn't be more different.

Totally, just like there are fucktons of OITNB/Law and Order crossovers. There were also fucktons of Oz/The Wire crossovers.

A writer for the Atlantic can probably afford this, right? And it's good, too! I mean, sure, it probably jumped the shark when Luke Perry was ____ behind the ____ and left to ____, but still, it's totally worth it.

You didn't offend. Sorry if I came off as too much of a sarcastic asshole in my last post. I generally agree with your first statement, and my own life experience has clearly colored my response to this situation. I just revel in an opportunity to make the (understood, but often forgotten, even by myself) point…

I don't think my perspective is all that unique, based on the other comments to this article. (And I happen to know hundreds of people who use wheelchairs/scooters but can still stand; paraplegia is far from the only cause of wheelchair use.) I think your perspective is pretty unique, seeing as you have the second…

I don't see how that's inconsistent at all. Could this be fraud? Absolutely. Do we know this is fraud without looking into it? Not at all. I don't want anyone to assume these people aren't disabled just because they can stand. But if they're not disabled? Fuck them.

As a disabled person, I get pissed off when people who don't know anything about you decided you aren't disabled "enough" to merit a certain accommodation. (It happens all the time.) But I get MORE pissed off when people who aren't disabled pretend to be to game the system. So I'm down for them investigating. I…

Or any not-obese person in a wheelchair who can't walk long distances (or even short distances) but can still stand.

I was wondering about that, thanks for the clarification.

Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the Umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was…

Of course, this doesn't really measure bandwagon fans. I remain a Mets fan even though I don't really watch baseball right now because it's zero fun and because I have better things to do like watch the Rangers in the Finals or watch paint dry.

The broadcast team has been pretty effusive in their praise of Stralman all playoffs, for good reason.

The greatest thing about Boyle's play right now is that he's basically a non-threat to score, but I still agree with you wholeheartedly that this is the best he's ever played (particularly on the PK, particularly particularly during that one 5-on-3 in game 5 against Pittsburgh).

When did I say she should? In fact, I'm pretty sure I said it was "obviously not her fault." But this is a thing that newscasters do.

I agree with your main point, but I'm pretty sure she said "I'm sorry" because of the unedited profanity loudly shouted on a live newscast. Which, obviously, is not her fault, but I've heard many male reporters (particularly during live sports events) apologize for accidentally-aired profanity.

That apology was like playing basketball with a kid in a wheelchair.
