Sounds like myth-making. Lebron is incredibly talented physically, and seems to be very smart. But that's not enough for the media/Nike/Vitamin Water. We need to be told he's insanely competitive, after we've watched him be clearly not that. We need to get a story that will make him more like Jordan, who is still

Walking in on Delonte West getting busy with his mother is one Kodachrome moment Lebron wishes he could erase

Looks like the narrative has firmly shifted to loving and rooting for the guy in Cleveland but freak geniuses typically break 900 on their SATs (870 for LeBron).

Holy shit do you have LeBron pajamas and bed sheets? Are you hoping that maybe he will notice you and tweet you or something? If you are going to sniff at ESPN's ass and repurpose their articles how about something more interesting than this garbage?

Yesterday's news: Paul George doesn't wear clothes.

I might get flamed for this, but here goes...

We segregate athletic competition because it is the only fair way to do it for the majority of men and women. I certainly have no issue with transgender folks, and don't intend to discriminate against them. At the same time, however, I don't believe that the rest of the world needs to bend over backwards because they

Or, perhaps, the high suicide rate among transgender folks has precisely nothing to do with the equities of allowing a biologically male competitor to compete in a physical event against biologically female participants. But maybe we should just ignore all that biology and physiology because it might hurt her fragile

No, it hasn't.

I call bullshit. There is much less racism towards Asians now than there ever has been. Sure it's easy to search for "chink" in twitter and out of the hundreds of millions of users someone will have said something racist. But it's a very small minority.

"Drunk women being targeted"

UGH. Don't make me do this.

I'm no fan of Palin, but are the attacks on her looks really necessary?

I'm no fan of Palin, but certainly the commentators of a seemingly feminist news/gossip source can understand that attacking this woman based on her appearance is pretty lame? I'm all for comparing her to a drunk aunt because of the stupid shit she says, but no female public figure needs to answer for their

I know everyone says every year how bad the Oscars were, but these were ESPECIALLY bad this year, I think. Was anyone trying? Ellen, who is usually so charming and funny, came off as ill-timed, mean and cold. No one could get through a monologue without massively fucking up and even the beautiful, talented Idina

Might be a case of lost in translation, but according to this pamphlet on Chinese birth rates, come backs rank just behind the shallow depths of the Yangtze as the most common means of population control.

Yao: One cultural thing you might have to adjust to if you play here is the food. It's crazy. You can eat a gigantic meal, but then an hour later you're hungry again.

Only that this is true of the world outside of politics as well.

Police: Mr. Muhammed, why did you have sex with a 14 year old girl?

This is how my parents and I always talk about this issue. Yes, it would be wonderful if I could walk the streets drunk at 3am wearing very little (or you know, just be outside any time it's dark-ish in a secluded area) and not have to worry about my safety...but unfortunately, at this point in time, this can't be a
