Couple of points, Dave (and great article BTW): the Cork local GAA board were happy to let the the game go ahead but were overruled from above. Cork people being immensely proud of their city and folk, they’ve rallied around the charity and the GAA are getting shredded over this.

Yes. Only the top 20 or so picks get full guarantees across all four years of their rookie deals. What a devastating precedent it might set if teams had to pay what amounts to a rounding error for a mistake at the top of the first round on a pick with no bargaining power on an artificially reduced salary. That…

A: what makes you think the goddamn Brit spies weren’t spooking in the service of Mary of Teck, aka Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes, aka Queen (Consort) at the time of the crime?

I largely eschew social media, due to an old stalker and a constitutional aversion to selfies. So if anyone who sees this would be so kind as to share the GoFundMe my neighbor set up on my behalf so that I wouldn’t get evicted because of my chef roommate, I would really appreciate it. Please enjoy the adorable cat…

I love Dez now that he’s burning down the whole Cowboys organization

I love Dez. I hope he burns down the whole Cowboys organization. 

I knew I was officially old when I injured my back while rolling over in bed. 

I think she’s a bit too short for hurdles, even the 400m event. Pole vault probably has the most in common with gymnastics.

This woman is such a phenomenal athlete. With other greats I always think about how they’d do playing other sports (Bron as a wide receiver, etc.). But Biles is so tiny, I wonder what sort of other sports she’d excel at.  Maybe track?  She’d fly over hurdles I’d think.

I know the bar for “impressive feats of athleticism” is probably low coming from a guy who is now at an age where I sustain injuries while sleeping. But that was an impressive feat of athleticism.

We still have a ways to go... but I do see more people, including men, waking up to the reality of what women face and being more supportive... when before, they dismissed women’s complaints and concerns and downplayed the frequency with which this sort of thing occurs, or how shitty and violating it is. It’s hard to…

Yep— lookit his body language, he’s just SO used to casually strolling around grabbing whatever he wants to. Pure entitlement.

Ah, wait, you left out the best quote!!

There is no way this is the first time this douche has groped a woman (or done worse, without consent). Objectifying women, disrespecting their bodily autonomy... that’s something which has been with him from at least adolescence, if not earlier. This is just the time he got caught.

I always had a fantasy in my head of finally catching one of the douche bags who would do this to me in my bar going younger years and demanding at the top of my lungs to press charges for the textbook sexual assault that happened to me way too regularly. Never managed to corner one of the fuckers...

We were so close to a nice story with a happy ending, thank goodness the corporate overlords came in to remind us that 2018 is shit.

This is my favorite comment of the week, and I’ll never look at car vents the same way again.

Black vinyl seats, in the sun, plus shorts will answer the question about eating human flesh in the earlier article.  You’ll smell bacon, right away.  That’s why the car vent icon looks like bacon.... when you smell the burning flesh, turn the vent to the bacon setting for ventilation.

I love this video! This girl reminds me of Kerry Loudermilk, a character on Legion:

The Salty Waitress, revealed at last.
