Notre Dame seems like a school that rides a magic carpet of history, glossed up with a thin film of memory. Sure, they were once a shining example of good, midwestern values paired with strong young men, with hearts and minds of pure strength and values and strength!

I understand the appeal behind some of this (ED. NOTE: I do not understand it), but what I don't understand is why artificially arranged shows have upped the 'reality' component by having it appear that the concept of randomness is involved, or audience 'participation' goes in to the arrangements, or with the…

That mullet is so majestic, Cochran doesn't wear it. The Mullet wears Cochran.

Shit! That goalie looks like he's still trying to understand what the position actually does on the ice.

Sadly, this is one of his better, easier-to-comprehend tweets.

I can see how it would be quite difficult to keep a forum such as this under constant control, with boundaries that are tight, but not constrictive. That'd be a pretty tall order for a system that allows complete (or 'complete' in a mainstream sort of way, anyway) anonymity, and the upcoming system that will allow…

You....you assholes aren't even trying anymore, are you?

Brian "Bookmark" Hoyer, everybody!!

"Erick Figueroa is 13!"

"I wanted to be a goalie"—Copper

I'm sorry, miss, but Barbie could, in some form or fashion, be considered "pretty" or "attractive".

"Jesus Christ! That bastard can't keep ANYTHING a secret!"—Bill Belichick

I've been in the middle of an existential crisis for almost 15 years now (I finally got wise to the idea that it probably wasn't just a 'phase', or a 'developmental stage'), and I just didn't think ennui was supposed to be so overwhelmingly fucking irritating.

Good point. I think there's a very real reason why so many people are mentioning his role in The Fisher King. He was able to portray that character in a way that so many people found so convincing. Who knows? Maybe he found something inside himself that got him to that place.

It's a valid, thoughtful question. I, of course, never knew him, and just like every other person who saw him perform, I never saw him in any sincerely private moments. I also hesitate to do any sort of 'armchair diagnosis', but perhaps Williams was someone able to combine a remarkable talent, a gift bestowed by…

You're right. I was a bit short-sighted, and I apologize. Will it help if I add:

"What the hell happened to her?"—Bill Parcells
