You mean to tell me it was only 6 times in a row Fox played that replay, christ it felt like it was on a continuous loop for a good 10 minutes and each time seeing his knee explode out the side looked worse and worse.

I would have drafted Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning. I was about 22 at the time and therefore had only a nebulous grasp of "character," and all I knew was that Leaf could hit any point on the compass from any point on the field.

It's funny — Iverson is the one guy who I will defend to the grave in spite of his inefficient volume shooting and often fleeting interest in defense (not to mention his off-court problems). I was 9 when Allen made his debut, and I grew up fairly well-off, white and Jewish in suburban Philly right alongside the…

Tonya got me from the first time I saw her because she was out there with asthma, which takes an extra amount of fight, and because she was lower class. I was just learning to deal with asthma, and my heart twisted every time she hit her inhaler. Listening to the announcers sneer about her background and her lack of…

I liked her back then (I was 8-10ish) and I sort of "get" her now. But, what's most interesting to me is that as an adult, I figured out what made me like her back then. I really, really hated Nancy and the reason was because she was heralded as "perfect, ideal and just better" than Tonya. But as a black girl in a…

The thing that bugged me back then, and still bugs me today about this story is that NEITHER of these skaters were EVER favored to win the gold at the Olympics. Neither was the best jumper, spinner, or artistic, yet somehow the US media made it all about these two, and then the US media was shocked when Oksana walked…

She certainly didn't come across as likable, but I came away from the doc with an increased sympathy for her.

And how does a person respond to something like this? How does a woman who started reading this website as a teenager, who used to seek refuge here when her ideas about gender and equality were shot down by her friends, peers, and sometimes even family, who for some reason imagined this place as being a center for…

Look, I'd like to stick up for Dodai here - she is definitely not a mean girl. On the contrary, she has written some really nuanced, philosophical pieces here over the years (and she's also damn funny sometimes). And I think you mean Anna Holmes*; Jessica Coen wrote this piece, probably came up with the idea and is…

I posted a comment in which I explain what I think the real problem is with this article. I don't doubt that the intention is to show how problematic photoshop is. I don't think any of us do. I don't know if my comment offers clarity, but I will repost it here:

Here's a vital conversation to have: where should we draw the line at doing asshole things because those asshole things "create a conversation"?

P.S. George RR Martin is an incredibly nice man who puts up with everyone giving him shit about not writing - including the goddamn TSA guy. I met him in the airport and asked about some of his other projects like the Jean Cocteau Cinema up in Santa Fe. He was fun to talk to and invited me to come to the Cinema AND…

Holy shit, io9, pay up now!

Oh this is fun! What would other gawker sites waste $10,000 on for things we already know?

"This is about Vogue, and what Vogue decides to do with a specific woman who has very publicly stated that she's fine just the way she is, and the world needs to get on board with that. Just how resistant is Vogue to that idea?"

Barry, you missed the most obvious explanation. Peyton has inked a major sponsorship deal with Mutual of Omaha that increases their visibility without the need for Peyton to film more commercials.

He doesn't go out of bounds, doesn't throw the ball the right way, doesn't throw the ball near anyone and it still isn't the worst way a Saints season has ended

Looks to me that the Saints called it that way. Watch the running back in the backfield, he waits and then streaks down the sideline facing Colston. I think Colston did what he was told to do, but just horribly botched the throw.

Listen, as Costas already so eloquently pointed out, the baseball writers are in the best position to determine who gets into the Hall of Fame. Otherwise diehard baseball fans would show up to a place that is supposed to celebrate their most cherished sport, only to find out it's filled with all of their favorite…
