Speaking as a Broncos fan, there is no wrong answer to that question. Should Davis waste tens of millions of dollars, or waste multiple seasons of potentially (but not likely) successful football? YES TO BOTH.

This is a humiliating mulligan in which everyone loses face, feet, wallets, and reputations.

I don’t follow the Raiders closely but it feels like Gruden is coaching like the host of a reality show. HIS show. All the players are but talent designed to boost him up and make him more of a hero. Any player who looks too big or challenges him needs to be knocked down a peg. Which seems like a great way to alienate…

If conversion therapy is so effective, why do the Saints carry a punter on their roster?

dont bring your bible to school - its killed more people than guns could ever hope to.

Hey all. Just wanted to drop in here and give a very sincere thank you to everyone who’s read the piece and everyone who’s commented below. I had to kind of talk myself into writing this, for a number of reasons, but I’m glad I did, and I’m deeply moved by the responses here—by those of you sharing your own…

Robert Smith (Vikings RB) was running out of bounds in like 1999 and catching all kinds of shit for it. For me, it just evinced his intelligence and foresight in preserving his body and mind, which of course was borne out once he retired early.

Franco Harris was a bit ahead of his time and probably (hopefully) RBs are taught to run out of bounds today. However back in the 70s he was pretty much considered what’s called another name for a vagina.  

Henry Bowers is fucking terrifying. One of King’s big strengths in writing about young people is knowing how bad young people can be and not forgiving them for it.

I’ll say that the scene where Bev’s dad completely goes off the deep end and chases her across town is bar none the scariest scene in the book.  By far.  Nothing IT manages to do even approaches this part.

Well, damn. I came in expecting some lame woke screed about how “poorly It has aged,” and how problematic it is, out of step with today’s sensibilities, etc., and instead found a deeply personal, thoughtful and well-written essay about the reviewer’s relationship with both pop culture and (what I consider to be) a…

Eat a Snickers.

Great read! I did the same thing. I read IT as a 40 year old, after having read it as a 12 year old. Took me all summer.

This is damn good writing, A.A. It resonated with me in many ways. Like you, it seems, I grew up in a household that could be kindly described as volatile, under the thumb of a cruel and violent stepfather and a mother who encouraged and occasionally participated in what he did. And also like you, I first read IT at…

I think you mean "chuddle"...

There is only one Internet answer: Gritty must adopt Mr. B.

Ain’t nobody knocking Gritty off the top of that list
