And perhaps some of it went home, to families that badly needed it?
We drove through OK last summer on our way home from California. I saw farm after farm with failing crops, and farmers plowing under acres of corn (at night, because it was too hot by day). Saddest thing I've watched in years.

SI has a choice about how they frame the article. They can front the idea that an exploitative mockery of amateurism that hurts the athletes will lead to cynicism about the stupid rules or they could front the idea that Oklahoma State is a rogue institution, bending NCAA rules about paying student-athletes with a…

Wait, I thought everyone decided that the media no longer gave a shit about pay-for-play in the wake of the Manziel non-scandal. Oh, most of these athletes weren't white? Well, that's completely different. Continue banging that drum, SI, you're doing god's work.

Any way we can swap out Biden and Boehner for these two at the next State of the Union address? And maybe permanently?

Can we discuss how garlic is the king of all flavors? That aroma when garlic hits hot butter ???

Technically speaking, while I agree with Al's assertion that there's no value in debating what is or isn't Caesar salad, Caesar dressing with no anchovy is like potato salad with no potatoes.

The third sentence implies that God is an SEC fan.

I'm with you... OUTLAW TWITTER

So, "it is because of our support ..." gets a pass in here?

Would not use pot myself but.... If you don't like it, then don't do it? Stop looking for the government to play nanny for you. Just because it is legal, does not mean anyone is requiring you to participate.

If these were grown-ups wearing those expressions it becomes a fairly standard play on sexual power. The receiving boy looks cold and emotionless (he obviously holds the power in this situation). The girl is laughing because she doesn't have to play the role of slut and doesn't know how else to react, since she's…

Nah I get that. We work in a field that 99% of people are ignorant of, where that 99% is 100% sure we're useless. It wears on you. I'm also heading off in a minute to teach a required Intro course (first day of the semester) and I always have to start on the defensive because of a widespread, arrogant ignorance about…

I enjoyed the Jolly Green Manning, but really, better than the New York Tenerife Disasters?

I was really excited to think that someone had somehow accidentally brought a blunderbuss to an airport. Then it turned out to be just a handgun and I tasted bitter, bitter disappointment.

So uh, I don't wanna be that person, but a blunderbuss and a .38 special are totes not the same thing.

Does this mean hernandez can stop covering for him?

Yakety Sax works just as well

It was nice of Peter to take his mouth off of the Ginger's "Hammer" long enough to tweet that garbage. He's the epitome of a company hack. Anybody surprised that the players took this settlement? I am.

Burnenko, you have clearly uncovered an Al-Qaeda sleeper cell. Better report this to the proper authorities before they spread their dangerous extremism any further.
