Our prison population remained relatively stable until 1980 when the conservatives decided to "get tough on crime", and instituted mandatory sentencing, three strikes, zero tolerance and reducing parole. This was ostensibly to make sure no violent criminals were "getting off easy" (google Willie Horton). Instead, it…

First World Problems.

The American prison system has never been about rehabilitation. It is about revenge. And that is exactly how most Americans want it.

In defense of Musburger and Herbstreit, they aren't using slang at all. They are using coaching jargon. Football coaches always refer to the players behind the defensive line as "the second level" because they might not all be linebackers. Sometimes a safety walks up. They also use the phrase "get separation" because…

The problem could be in that some man or woman could marry multiple partners without their knowledge. It is one thing to willingly and knowingly enter into a polygamous situation. Quite another when a travelling salesman has two or three different families in different cities, all with no knowledge of one another.

OK. Will do.

No offense, but you're dumb.

Maybe women wouldn't be so upset about "body shaming" if they were, you know, actually in shape themselves.

You're missing my point. Texas will have less patience for a black coach than a white one. If Charlie Strong doesn't win the Big 12 in his first two years, he is going to be on the hot seat and possibly fired. The same cannot be said if Gruden or Mora were hired.

I don't take you seriously, because you must be a total asshole as a boss.

LeBatard has always been a sports iconoclast, so this doesn't surprise me at all. This fact has made him both beloved and reviled in the sports world. I don't always agree with his opinions which sometimes come off as being different and rebellious just for the sake of being different and rebellious, but I am glad…
