Mainstream pop in the mid-90s was bad because its reluctance to generate controversy in the post-Republican Revolution media landscape kept it way out-of-touch to listeners. Nu-Metal was basically an arbitrary reaction to that; the shock was the main draw, and there was nothing left behind that once it wore off.

I will NEVER listen to this song, AV Club.

The Future Senate voted against Judge Dredd's nomination to the federal court of appeals.

It was just starting for geeky, red headed suburban tweens.

1995 and 1996 were a nadir for top-40 radio. Middle-of-the-road stations wouldn't touch rap music, rock was in a state of post-grunge flux, and Mariah Carey was the only bankable pop star going; she and Boyz II Men topped the charts all summer with a collaborative eulogy to their agent.

Avoiding that scenario was the primary rationale to leaving him off the team. That definitely would have happened.

The NCAA really did outlaw the slam dunk for several years, coinciding with when Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) enrolled at UCLA. I'm sure some crotchety old sportswriter out there has a column lamenting the dunk ban was ever lifted.

Let's make ball-hugger shorts and PF Flyers mandatory as well, while we're at it. Teams should feel lucky if they score more than 20 points in an entire game.

12: Let your Jamaican bobsled teammate, who may or may not be the king of Siam, build up your confidence to beat up an arrogant East German.

Also, a crying little baby.

It has to be Adam Morrison, does it not?

I went to a beer festival on Saturday, and was sucked into watching the remake of "Endless Love" on HBO that night. The lesson, as always: alcohol leads to terrible decisions.

She didn't fare well against Andy Roddick a decade ago.

I don't find that surprising at all. The Williams sisters may be more skilled than a top junior male, but an 18-year-old would simply overpower either of them.

Jimmy and Martina are only four years apart in age; the best man will always beat the best woman in his/her age group in any sport where athleticism can overpower skill.

I think he wanted to lose, but moreover expected to lose. He probably couldn't believe his luck when Margaret Court choked the first time he pulled this stunt.

Joe…Biden?

Halal didn't fit into the song's cadence.

"It's me, Jazz-Jazz!"

Sturgeon's Law in effect, then?
