Those sorts of deals, while absurd, are not the normal. There are a small handful of football powerhouses that stake their entire University's reputation on their sports success. The vast majority of schools, even at the highest levels, don't have spending like that, and are happy to win 9-10 games every few years and

College football is a much, much better television product. If you watch a full day of football on Saturday, then again on Sunday, it's immediately noticeable just how quiet NFL games are. But to claim the product on the field is superior is absurd, and at least the NFL, like every other sport on the fucking planet,

I actually love Bowl Season for the opposite reason. Your complaint about the money in college football is absolutely true at the peak levels, and by the time we reach the New Year's Six Bowl games, made up almost entirely of the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, etc., it is sort of hard to turn your brain off

The writer wrote this article. There are actual words written above, done so, presumably, by a person, and not some sort of TV Bot. You don't have to like the content, or read the content, or give a shit about the content. But it was written. Just putting scare quotes around things you don't like doesn't make it not

Your hope is based on the GOP caring more about their country than their power or wealth. They would destroy their party by trying to eliminate someone far more popular with their base than they are. This isn't a realistic option.

But..they never claimed to be "gangsta." At all. And Snoop has a cooking show with Martha Stewart. I have little doubt that a living Tupac or Biggie would have happily sold out at least a decade ago.

If we're talking about the most likely scenario, a 9 year old brutally murdering his sister doesn't seem like the best candidate.

He's clearly fucked up. But try growing up in a house where your sister was murdered when you were 9 and see how it turns out for you.

I think nearly every network unleashed a JonBenet revival this year. 20 year anniversary + everyone looking for the next Serial/Making a Murderer/The Jinx/OJ doc, and all that. There is a certain amount of ghoulishness to all of these true crime stories. What I think is just as bad is how lazy every network is at

If there's one thing I learned since the election, it's that most white people really don't understand their privilege. This includes plenty of urban liberals that like to tell themselves they are so progressive, and those redneck hicks are so uneducated. In fact, I've found that white liberals are often the most

It's all part of the recipe that adds up to this shit show of a year. The reason pop culture icons dying feels extra sad is because most people use their pop culture obsession of choice to get away from the horrors of real life. When they both suck it's hard not to feel helpless and overwhelmed.

People are allowed to be sad when shitty things happen, even if shittier things happen to someone else.

And those happened like four fucking miles from each other. Then the day after that a kid got eaten by a fucking alligator at fucking Disney World.

He feels no shame. Just bury the fucker.

After the year we just had? My God man.

You know all of the horrible shit that Trump has already done? Now imagine what he'll do when he's actually President. Merry xmas!

Imagining Trump dying brings me unbridled joy. Even if it doesn't happen for 30 years, just knowing it will happen one day is pretty much the only thing that gives me hope.

The right to visit a public business. I know you understand, but for some reason want to be an asshole instead. You're life seems sad. Have a merry xmas. Really, I hope you find some joy. Maybe three spirits will visit you tomorrow night. Listen to them!

Don't take away rights and call it freedom.

No, they are not the same thing. One is a performer that is hired after negotiations, and they are not providing a public service to any consumer. The other runs a business open to the public. If Donald Trump wanted to buy a ticket to a public Rockettes performance, that's well within his legal right. He is now owed
