In his most memorable game against the producer of LA Law and Hill Street Blues and his dogs, he famously choked away an easy win.

I’m not terribly surprised. I went to Cal, and Cal football used to do (maybe still does? not sure) a “women’s football huddle” where alumna could come, hang out with the some players and coaches, and do some low-contact drills (hit some tackling sleds, jog/run some routes, etc.). A lot of my female friends did it and…

Because he can write entertaining and smart-sounding pop psychology books. I mean, that is a skill, but it’s not something that means he should be a self-appointed Paterno defender. 

To be fair that sounds more like an indictment of McQueary.

Ehhh...Pinker has a lot more research and intellectual rigor behind his stuff than Gladwell does. He does fall into the common academic trap of “I know a lot about X, and I’m at least as smart as people who do Y, so Y must be pretty simple”.

That’s not actually quite true. FTC regulations stipulate (per a 1970 court decision involving marbles in Campell’s soup) that the actual food you are advertising needs to be real (though the stuff around it can be whatever - so I think the “glue in milk” thing actually skirts it since the cereal is being sold not the…

You think someone would *literally* ruin their life - like she’s going to be getting doxed, have every potential employer find this on their cursory google search, every social media account she has is going to be permanently useless due to being flooded with hate mail – for *maybe* getting some kind of payday?

Oh sweet. A fellow Tecate fan (I posted above (or below? who knows how Kinja does this shit)). I used to call it “the best available beer in a can” before everyone started putting beers in cans...

Also Tecate is both cheaper and better than Corona.

Your gif game is on point. Kudos.

Also he’s going to have to pay taxes on his paychecks from that now too...

I mean, looking like the comic book representation doesn’t really matter that much. In fact, if the previous MCU history is any guide, the comic book characters will start looking more and more like their movie actors.

I don’t know if I thought he was going to win, but he was the one whose designs I always was most excited to see.

If you recognize the faces from radio you may have some kind of superpower :P

I would have told them to present the info they had legal access to a US congressman or senator; a state Adjutant General; a DoD or WH ethics / legal office - but never to a foreigner.

And a capital ‘M’. And to be said on Alabama sports talk radio.

...NFL (too nuanced...)

Only if you can come up with a name for the hit HBO/Netflix miniseries.

“Stick to Fistball” does have a ring to it...

Now I have a fantasy that the NWS is going to bring Trump down like Capone got nailed for Tax Evasion...
