"I went in after him and tried to alert the patrons by yelling, 'bear' but no one noticed."

That's Mr. Travolta to you, sonny.

"...he circled "Confused," "Scared," "Certain," "Okay," "Necessary," "Sad," "Guilty," "Mixed Feelings," and "Forced Into It."

So good.

"It's absurd for King to make the argument (as he's doing either deliberately or because he's a moron) that Hernandez fell in the draft because other NFL teams wisely calculated his likelihood to orchestrate the execution-style murder of somebody"

I don't think he, or anyone else, is making that claim. I think the…

I would agree, that linking immature "dillweed" behavior to murder is stupid and reckless. I would also agree that having concerns that a player may commit a violent crime in the future on grounds of such behavior may not be totally fair. But, fair or not, these concerns existed in 2010 when he was drafted. So,…

I don't get what you're asking. My point is that, in Hernandez's case, what caused him to go from a first round pick to a late-round pick was the concern that his lifestyle would one day render him unable to do his job for legal reasons. By no means am I suggesting that no criminal or feared criminal is worthy of a…

"King's implication is that whatever caused Hernandez to drop in the draft ("dillweed"behavior) is relevant to the present situation (murder)."

I don't get how it's not. King being a blowhard aside, the general consensus, if I'm not mistaken, was that Hernandez's draft-day tumble was due to concerns related to his…

+ 1 Midol and a glass of water.

There's no way I'd buy this dog. If the past is any indication, this British Bulldog will tragically pass away shortly after changing handlers.

At first, I said that many notable public schools have profitable football programs (I'm referring to the Ohio States and Floridas of the world). Then, I simply pointed out that while 22 athletic programs turned a profit according to the article, many more than 22 have profitable football and/or men's basketball…

This is essentially my point. That's 22 schools whose athletic programs are in the black. There are many, many more schools whose football programs alone turn a profit, which in turn helps pay for the less popular sports, along with those fees they collect.

Football is probably the poorest example you could have chosen. Football (along with men's basketball), at many notable public schools, turns a profit for the athletic department. When athletic departments collect fees from students, it goes mostly towards scholarships, equipment, and facility maintenance for sports…

I'd like to think one of these requests was in regards to how I was able to employ a rotating-goalie strategy to win my fantasy hockey league.

"It's true that your Xbox Live Gold account also includes gaming, as it should. Microsoft's online gaming community—and, importantly, support staff—are without parallel. It's a unique offering, it's added value, and it's certainly worth paying for."

Ok, we're going off the rails here. I'm not here to be a Bill Simmons apologist, nor do I want to sit here and prop up the entire article line by line. My original point was that Craggs' and your criticism of the South Park reference was cheap, stupid, and lazy. Additionally, it's pretty unfair to suggest that…

You're right, the obvious point about the Spurs' popularity is incredibly boring and tired. In fact, anyone that is still furthering that observation today should probably be fired.

+1 tense, tense city.
