I'm having trouble finding any proof that Olympic medalist Aly RAISMAN commented about this "controversy" at all. I do find ample evidence that dour journalist Aly WEISMAN basically started this whole "controversy" on twitter.

Hot summer day in my apartment, Coca Cola commercial just shows a Coke float commercial being made in a Cole glass while "The Slider" by T. Rex plays. I went right out and bought a cold Coke and vanilla ice cream. Highly satisfied.

Or, to use another Simmons trope, he's at the stage of his career where "Kobe isn't Kobe anymore," but everyone is afraid to tell him, and he's just limping along, chucking up shots and making us sad. I don't know if he's out of touch after becoming an influential media figure, or if he's just a middle-aged dad with…

I think that's the biggest factor. Far fewer people who grew up in a middle class household can afford to raise a child in the same or better circumstances.

It's not that Grantland is superfluous, or that it's all style and no substance, or hasn't produced a number of really good pieces. I think Tim is saying that Grantland is ESPN's prestige brand (granted as an indulgence to Simmons), and as such, it's tantamount that it bear the hallmarks of prestige sports journalism.…

And since we're on the subject, compare the way Adler is adapted for the BBC series (sexy Moriarty pawn who toys with Holmes only to be rescued by him when she gets in over her head) to the interpretation of Charles Augustus Milverton in the series three finale: I always read CAM to be a slimy, sleazy sonofabitch whom…

Holmes shooting CAM, instead of witnessing his murder and covering it up for either Lady Smallwood or Mary, was a big disappointment for me and, for me, is such a big departure from the source material and essence of the Holmes character that it saps much of my enjoyment of the interplay between the original stories…

Do you not listen to his broadcast regularly? Aside from the mistake about Puig, which I didn't hear, those details are the stuff that make Vin Scully great. I'd much rather hear about what the second base umpire likes to eat for dinner on his birthday than the color guy's worthless backseat managing or whether a…
