There’s another factor related to that—a lot of players have complained that the crackdown on high tackling (because brain trauma is bad PR) have led to more knee and ankle injuries. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but a torn ACL is more noticeable and keeps a player out longer than a concussion does.

(You’re missing an important variable: the NFL has significantly cracked down on how tackles are made, as well as late hits that are more dangerous because they’re unexpected, over the last decade plus.

Yeah, it’s shocking that an old guy writing over 50 years ago would not get how this stuff works. Totally weird and shocking. Why didn’t he have the enlightened attitudes of people living decades after his death? I guess it’s a mystery we’ll never solve.

real conversation i’ve had with a tinder date

I love how it would have been perfectly acceptable to serve a couple 14 margaritas and watch them drive off if they had left a fat tip, but somehow it was being cheap that made them unfit to drive?

Wait, we’re applauding the guy who apparently overserved a couple and then called the cops on them because he didn’t like the tip?

“I’m not racist. Some of my best friends are Black...for Halloween.”

probably because of that big fuckin black shape in front of his face

“Let me educate you about wine,” he said.....

I had this thought too. The customer was douchey, but if you’re not adult enough to brush that off perhaps you shouldn’t be in food service.

Obviously you’re not in academia...

“When he was done, I booked in into the kitchen, where I think I may have kicked the ice cream freezer and cried a little. Then the bartender started feeding me sympathy shots of Jameson and I can’t remember much else about that night”

You think that's nice, Elvis Andrus gave away the entire game.

This is really unfair to Coleman, especially since he hasn’t heard the victim’s side of the story.

One of my co-workers (a dainty and slightly “fancy” girl, to boot) once ate half an order of french fries with chocolate fudge sauce (like, for sundaes) on a semi-serious dare

Because absolutes are always the best advice, right?

Uh no one bitches about him . He’s an incredibly intelligent man who happens to have done some shitty things. His suggestion was well taken by all coaches and NFL media alike. They bitch about him running up the score, his petulant manner at press conferences oh and the shitty fan base that didn’t give two shits about…

Note: What you are talking about isn’t a flowchart. This is a flowchart:

I think it would work at work, a place where you kind of have to do favors sometimes. Also, if you pick a favor that would benefit the other person, or is of particular interest to the other person, they might be more likely to help you out.
