There is a public right to know because there is a credible case that a crime was committed. I don’t know any of the people involved in this, could hardly care less about the NFL yet I think it’s incredibly important that such instances where the wealthy and powerful use those very attributes to subvert justice are…

At this point I'm going to just assume that if someone was on TV in the 80's they were also a child molester until it's proven otherwise.

OMG almost forgot about Frugal Gourmet. I also seem to recall now that Jeff Smith was a de-frocked Methodist minister who was accused of some sort of sexual indiscretion — and I think it involved less than legally aged individuals.

Slightly off-topic even Swedish nerds are good-looking.

It’s the difference between flying for work all the time and flying for pleasure once a year. If you have to travel as part of your job, it’s nice to know that you can spend an extra 45 minutes at the customer’s office without having to rush to the airport to make sure you get a decent seat and/or overhead space. I…

Not to minimize this guy’s struggles but I would submit that the male analog of plus-size women is not plus-size men, but rather average/below-average height men of non-muscular build. In much the same way that society tells women they have to be a certain shape/weight, shorter guys also get the shaft when it comes to…

And the best part is that on his facebook profile it lists "Kitchen Staff at Mt Hood Summer Ski Camps", which makes his comments belittling the manager for his job all the richer.

Somewhat off-topic but why DON’T the Cutlers have at least 1 or 2 nannies? I would give my life for my kids but I’ll be honest - a good portion of my daydreams are what it would be like to have some full-time, live-in domestic help. I’m not even talking about your stereotypical Swedish au pair. I’d be happy with your…

I’m with you, fellow-back-of-the-collar-sunglasses-wearer!

Why is this any more “douchey” than any other placement? There are distinct practical advantages to it and it looks no more bizarre than placing them on top of one’s head.

Yeah, I’m not sure why this is such a big no-no. I have 2 rugrats under 2 who loooove to grasp at sunglasses and since I prefer that my $250 sunglasses NOT have finger prints and/or have the frames bent out of shape, I will frequently put them on the back of my shirt collar when I’m picking them up. I also do it when…

Albert - It was awesome that he was nice to you and helped your family out when you needed it most, but it’s really frustrating for me and a lot (most?) of the other commenters to see Gawker/Deadspin writers that we admire expressing sympathy for Tommy but completely ignoring the fact that he undoubtedly caused a lot…

While not condoning government waste/extravagance of any sort, if I had to choose between the government mis-spending public dollars, I’d rather them do it on something that is at least nominally a public good that can be enjoyed for generations (a fancy library) than on a private arena that will enrich billionaires,…

Responses like yours astound me. It is a private, for-profit entity. Why on earth would you be ok with levying a tax on your fellow citizens to support it when it can easily do so itself? I don’t think you’re a moron just incredibly selfish. If you want to mortage your house to buy Bucks paraphrenalia, by all means do…

Perfect response.

Since cities/states can’t be trusted to not beggar each other in a race to the bottom to offer the most lucrative deals to the extortionate owners and teams, it seems like the federal government could step and somehow make the practice of using public money for private stadiums illegal or unattractive. I’m thinking…

The best is that she doesn’t even live in Glendale and thus wouldn’t bear the burden of the teams she “supports”.

How do you turn around at a checkpoint? All of the ones that I’ve encountered have been set up such that if you were to be observed executing a 3 point turn/pulling a U-ey would guarantee that you’d be pulled over by the cops you didn’t see half a block up the street.

The DUI lawyers I’ve spoken with say it’s an open secret that roadside tests are designed to be impossibly subjective so that you literally cannot pass them if that’s what the cop wants. And if he’s asking you to perform a sobriety test, he’s already made up his mind. Completing the test will only give him ammo for…

FWIW, many moons ago when I got my DUI in Georgia (Gwinnett Co. to be specific) every DUI lawyer I contacted after the fact told me the same thing - never submit to a field sobriety test or a roadside breathalyzer regardless of how many drinks you’ve had. They are respectively, highly subjective and…
