Well, if Howard Stern said it, I guess we can rest assured that sexism plays no part in these accusations.

Wait, I'm confused about the movie… so the Christ knew Pontius Pilate was setting him up?

J'en peux plus-tonium.

Maybe tomorrow. After 6:30 I shut down excel and start drinking.

I get the following:

Was there much cursing in American Gods? I don't remember that.

"…people my age who watched the old show on PBS."

It's from… the comment I was replying to, so I'm not sure how it's not relevant. Anyway, my point is that from the perspective of people who don't have/like RedZone, having a game moved from an overcrowded Sunday to Thursday is (nearly) functionally equivalent to having an extra game on Thursday. If I watch it, it's…

You're right, those people are not helping and I could've directed the same complaints at them. I can see how from your perspective it might seem like I'm just joining with everyone else in ganging up on you, perhaps even being disingenuous. I apologize if I gave this impression; I promise you that that was not my…

Please note that my involvement in this conversation began with my objection to classifying intoxicated driving — in general or in this particular case — as 'harmless'. And all that I have done since then is to stand by that objection. Please try not to project attitudes onto me which I do not possess and which I'm…

I'm not sure I understand your, "If only it was more football…" comment, then, since adding games on Thursdays would have the same impact on your free time.

It's only less convenient for RedZone fans. For people without RedZone (or who just prefer to watch one game at a time), the fewer games happening simultaneously the better.

Thursday Night Football was also airing on a semi-obscure cable network. I have no sense of whether it will beat BBT, but I would be shocked if moving it from NFL Network to CBS didn't improve viewership.

Well, it seems to be pretty clear that players don't like playing on Thursday nights. I certainly don't think they're imagining that or making it up or anything, and there's a pretty solid argument to be made for getting rid of TNF games in the interest of player happiness (and maybe safety). That doesn't necessarily…

I'm pretty sure that happens out of a desire to have every team have at least one primetime game each season. The crappy teams get their primetime moment shunted to Thursday where they can do the least damage.

Bill Barnwell had a really good article over on Grantland this year addressing the idea that Thursday Night Football games are worse/sloppier/whatever: http://grantland.com/the-tr…

It's not from the source itself, but Serious Eats had a go at reverse-engineering the McDonald's fry for their Food Lab series. The writer seems to think he was pretty successful. (I can't comment personally — I don't understand the McDonald's fry hype so have never tried to make them.)

Wow, this conversation degenerated quickly. Is it really illogical to look down on intoxicated driving? I must be more out of touch than I realized.
