An anonymous internet comment is certainly dispositive. I guess I stand corrected. Or maybe not...

two birds, one stone.

Oliver’s piece was pretty ham-fisted in that it completely avoided any discussion of music licensing law. In most (although certainly not all) of these instances, the music is licensed through ASCAP or BMI or other of the licensing services. Typically, an arena like the ones in Cleveland or Philly, will have already…

In the ‘90s there was different story about a person who drank a case of beer before work and a guy named Rhodes:

I’m guessing that if Purdue changed their nickname to the “Black Panthers” they might get some more attention—and maybe a whole different level of recruits.

He’ll get along very well with the boss

Twitter is especially loathe to act when the targets are Black women.

Putting aside whatever this nobody did, public figures don’t have to accept jack shit. Here’s a crazy idea, stay off Twitter. There is literally no benefit to posting on Twitter. Also, quit looking to see what people are posting about you. Have a little self-discipline and quit looking in the fucking mirror all the…

It’s funny because they and people are often composed entirely of straw.

How is that clear at all? I’ll bet you whatever you want that he had full medical coverage through Oklahoma State.

It’s highly likely the Kirstie Alley is an idiot. But if it is her typos that make her an idiot, what does that make every employee at Gawker, which continues to be the least proof-read, most sloppily edited written-word publication that I’ve encountered since our 3rd grade class paper.

What makes her a “hero?” She seems to be doing a decent job with some temporarily trying circumstances, but I don’t think popping out 6 kids in 3 years is exactly Presidential Medal of Freedom territory.

I posted somewhere above, but watch one of the first 3 or 4 episodes. Chip was all business and positively sedate. Some director/producer told him to up the frat bro antic quotient.

Watch one of the first 3 or 4 episodes. Chip was pretty much all business with no hijinx. And the show was pretty fucking boring. Some producer got to him and told him to up his frat bro game.

Given such “biting” (and repetitious) sarcasm, I had to assume that your post history was a veritable fountain of erudite humor. I was disappoint...

I came to the comments just for the Phil McCracken jokes.

There hasn’t been any true scientific method on this topic yet. There have been no double-blind longitudinal studies. The population studies have been generally inconclusive. There is no question that some players are experiencing CTE (based on post-mortem diagnoses). What that really means is still mostly unknown.

Actually, we’re already in the renaissance for removing pads. NFL players generally wear fewer pads than they have since the early days of football. Many don’t wear cups, knee pads, thigh pads and/or hip pads anymore. Shoulder pads are smaller than they’ve ever been in the modern era. The result of that is players…

Or could it be because they’ve always been the most likely to let their kids play football?

The one thing that we really have no idea about is when the damage associated with CTE is incurred. Does it come about as a result of a lifetime of all concussive/subconcussive hits—making people who started tackle football at the grade school level more susceptible? Or is it really only as a result of the more…
