I’m confused about the Truth-Default-Whatever meant that people would expect Sandusky was being honest, but would not expect that McQueary was being honest. That seems like a pretty big jump, but that’s par for the course for Gladwell’s books. I read Blink and walked away with the thought that Gladwell pretty much…

I loved all the grays last week telling me that actually Paterno did do something by telling Sandusky not to rape kids on campus anymore. These fucking people, man. 

At that time it would have been a club hockey game which maybe would have had a few dozen people in attendance at a shitty rec center near the football practice center. The concert is far enough away from the football building that the part of campus approaching the football building would have reasonably been…

the theory’s basic premise is that human beings generally operate under the assumption that the people we are interacting with are being honest.

Congrats Bill Simmons, you are no longer the writer I'm most ashamed of enjoying during my younger days. Yeesh what a jackass 

Add to that McQueary was legitimately afraid of not only losing his job but also his entire career. If he was blackballed by Penn State, may as well go get that teaching certificate. Telling Paterno was a huge risk on his part. Completely agree that Gladwell is the lowest form of life for rehashing a settled matter,…

I grew up in State College, I went to school with Sandusky’s kid, the one in prison for soliciting minors. I’ve been in Sandusky’s basement. I play tackle football in Sunset Park near Joepa’s place, pretending to be Shane Conlan or DJ Dozier. I know what that town is like, and how it venerated the football program.

Ssorry, so people in this study could only spot liars 50 percent of the time so the theory is that we assume that people generally tell the truth as opposed to some people are better at lying or spotting liars than others?

On the Simmons podcast Gladwell reminisced about their old email exchanges.

There’s a very simple reason why McQueary didn’t go to the cops right away: sometimes when we see things that go against our pre-existing beliefs, our brains work their asses off to come up with reasoning. McQueary respected Sandusky as a football coach and seeing him rape a child was outside of what he expected. So…

The real question, judging from that picture, is how far has Gladwell gone down the Cosmo Kramer rabbit hole?? Now that looks like a serious rabbit hole!

Do we know the dildo over/under for next Sunday?

I mean, he did shoot his load onto his personal trainer while she watched a church service on her iPad.*

Dummy. Everyone knows the only way to stop Romelu Lukaku is to hire Jose Mourinho to coach him.

Because back when they wrote the Constitution, nobody lived that long?

Why are they specifically targeting Down Syndrome?

Dont forget to add brown people to that list in the yes column.

The most serious issue of this election is not Donald Trump. It’s people who support Donald Trump.

One of the worst things about this election is learning exactly what percentage of Americans are total monsters.
