That was an impact so intense that Jones came back afterwards to search for weed and money in Cormier’s fight shorts.

They get to feel like they are part of the NFL. That’s shockingly important to some people.

I’m speechless...by the way, I only skimmed Jones’ Russia rant. There was no way I could’ve actually read all that. No way.

Season 4-6 fans: GOD why is everyone TALKING can we speed it up already I don’t need THREE EPISODES of an army marching!

I’ve been finding all the comments about the timelines so tedious. At this point I don’t need three episodes of Jon and Davos on a boat or full sieges of both Caterly Rock and High Garden. I would much, much rather the show spend the few remaining episodes on extended scenes like Dany and Jon or Cersei and the…

I actually don’t love Rogan, but I don’t see a lot of value in second-guessing this situation. When he says that he made a mistake because he was caught up in the moment and really wanted to give Cormier a chance to make a statement, I take him at his word.

I read the description exactly as Angelina is saying it happened, and so did most people I’ve seen on the internet. They admit the point was to see which (poor) kid had the strongest reaction to being presented with a pile of money and having it taken away. They picked the one who genuinely burst into tears at what…

I didn’t get the impression that the sacking of the Reach was Cersei’s plan, rather Jaime’s (He said during his monologue to Olenna that he got the idea from his defeat to Robb Stark).

At one time, I’m sure these post-game/fight interviews were meant to give the fan some sort of insight into how the players/fighters were thinking. That was a long time ago, though, and by now, I’m pretty sure we all understand how good winning feels, and how shitty losing feels. Now it’s just mostly a chance to hear…

If a UFC fighter, or anyone for that matter, is crying after a bunch of blows to the head, it should probably be taken as a sign of a severe concussion. See Luke Kuechly.

For something people on both sides of the aisle can’t fall over themselves fast enough to claim doesn’t work, there sure are a lot of laws being passed to punish boycotts and those who support them.

I’ve always found Israel’s rather zealous response to the BDS movement incredibly bizarre.

And in fact he was a lousy soldier, graduating at the bottom of his Annapolis class (which means flunking calculus and not turning in work, rather than being a rebel), getting wings he almost certainly didn’t qualify for, and dodging a well deserved grounding because he was Navy royalty. Most men don’t get a chance to…

How is rape “non-physical trauma”?

Similarly, I stopped doing math because it made my head hurt.

Oh, in the US, it’s dead as a door nail. For one thing, the owners are so greedy that there is no incentive to lure the best athletes. Look at MLB. You can be a #4 starter for 10 years and easily make more than $50 million.

What I always say is that I think by 2050, assuming we have continuity of professional sports leagues, we’re well on the way to one of two futures:

“College athletes shouldn’t be paid because they get a free education.”
