Of course scandals like this are nothing new in curling. Last year at the Tournament of Hearts the Skip of the Manitoba team was busted for having a blood-alcohol level under .12. The sport still hasn’t recovered.

Kinda makes you wonder why Johnny Manziel hasn’t tried out for the Mets yet.

Also, just fuck store exclusives in general. That stuff is just eBay Scalper fodder.

This is not a watershed moment. The nation didn’t care when the victims were elementary school kids, so the nation definitely won’t care about teenagers.

Either ESPN is a news-gathering operation or not. If ESPN bills themselves as a news organization - which, for the record, they do - then advertising concerns dictating editorial content is a fundamental breach of the ethics of professional journalism. A newsroom is not “any other business.”

Beyond all that (which I think is an extremely valid analysis of celebrity culture), let’s look at J-Law’s post-Hunger Games choices:

The “bad thing” is the journalism branch of a company, and the advertising branch, are supposed to operate independently of each other

E-fucking-xactly.

Seeing Rawls in the gay bar during Season 3 came as a surprise, but it actually made a lot of sense when you look back at his courtship of McNulty.

Yeah, athletic women in skin-tight costumes.

Hell, Chris Evans elicits some very mixed feelings as Captain America, and I’m a heterosexual man.

Because when you have a chance to sign a 31-year-old with a history of arm troubles and just pissed himself silly in the World Series to the tune of 3 1/3 IP, 8 ER, 9 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 2 HR, you absolutely should!

Ah yes, lets make baseball more like football

Say what you will about Fleury and the Pens, but you gotta admit, this is something that the NHL, for all its faults, does so, so well…

MLB revenues have increased as the players’ share of that revenue has decreased. So when are the players supposed to get paid? They don’t get paid much as rookies, and most don’t get big paydays during the arb process, so when? At what point should the players expect to get their fair share of MLB revenues?

Not sure why you think it’s disingenuous considering you have no idea what the offers are. But whatever let’s look at some actual data.

Libertarianism is Astrology for douchebags.

ARod is a better human being.

I wonder how many people even realize the last strike (really a lockout) was ended by Sotomayor

I'll commit heresy and admit that I watched this episode for the first time recently and found it to be… lacking. The fact that all the jokes have been run into the ground here doesn't help, but it just came across as bitter and not especially funny. I don't get why this is held up as a classic episode and not a…
