That is why the Bengals have those tiger stripes on their helmets. "Orange teams suck, perhaps these tiger stripes will intimidate the opposition!" they said. This strategy works better in the regular season, it would appear.

Coughlin wasn't "the" problem, but winning two Super Bowls tends to white-wash away a lot of his negative tendencies from peoples' mind. TC was generally a good coach off the field (besides burying young guys on the depth chart for too long which has hurt them in the past) but he just doesn't seem to adjust well when…

It makes sense because the offense has substantially improved since he replaced Kevin Gilbride as OC. The presences of Beckham alone isn't quite enough to explain that, because OBJ never overlapped with a healthy Victor Cruz. Yes, Beckham is better than Cruz was, but not enough to explain the disparity in Eli's stats:

Thanks for the article! Be careful not to claim that analytics is the "end all be all" solution many critics seem to fear. Personally, I'd just as soon have all sporting events simulated on computers and dumped into spreadsheets so I can analyze them in my mom's basement, but I don't think we are quite headed there.

My memory is fuzzy but I think there's one of these guys who sucks and is dumb, and the other I just find annoying whenever he disagrees with what I want him to say, probably Carey and Periera respectively.

I would not approve of using someone's silence against someone in a criminal sense, because it seems to me totally irrelevant to any serious criminal charge. A defendant could choose not to testify for any number of reasons: he's a poor public speaker, the prosecuting attornies are better than his, he feels a…

He would've confessed to being -10,000 feet tall and living on the surface of the sun. It is hard for me to believe that anyone thought interrogating him was a good way to obtain truthful information. And I'd wager dollars to donuts that many people involved in his conviction knew the opposite to be true.

I probably will not watch these videos, as I value my own mental health. However, I will pray for the two cops, along with the first defense lawyer and his "private investigator" to be damned to an eternal punishment of watching it on repeat. There should probably be a simultaneous eternal punishment as well, like, I…

Oh my bad, the investigator (Michael O'Kelly) was the one I meant to complain about. The lawyer was shockingly inept, and hired O'Kelly in the first place, but yea the Brendan/O'Kelly scene will haunt me for some time I'm afraid.

I cannot even begin to comprehend what the Halbech family was going through and they emotional impact of losing a young loved one like that. But I'm sorry, the brother's an asshole. For him to watch that kid's testimony and cross-examination and say, "I was hoping he'd slip up," like he's the fucking Riddler throwing…

The worst part for me was reading his first attempt at a written confession, where he just describes a normal day of mundane events, and then his lawyer…just…wtf…

I definitely know more dudes who like it, but it is a pretty girly show to be honest. But even SU and AT are like that sometimes so that doesn't bother me too much.

Yes it kind of implies there is no room for any middle ground. As if one can only either hate MLP or be slavishly devoted to it. It's just like a well-written kids show that can be entertaining if you're into that sort of thing. It's at point now where female fans are also called bronies, which is probably a bad thing.

I don't think Twilight would be a huge fan of memes and the like. She prefers more rich and insightful internet content.

Thanks Willow Smith for stealing my idea. No seriously, thanks, it probably wasn't a very good idea.

The absence of a concrete stance was part of what I liked about this episode. Nobody has all the answers, a fact that can get lost when South Park gets on its soapbox sometimes.

Humanity is like Mr. Y, but that's not the problem. Mr. X and Mr. Z are figments of your imagination. The problem is people thinking that they exist, and that every person is one or the other.

Well nothing is or isn't offensive, people can disagree about that stuff. That's sort of a key point, racism and PC is too often thought of as a binary concept, but when we talk about microaggressions it gets into more subjective territory.

Isn't that more like passive aggression though? Totally get your point, I probably sounded too dismissive of the whole concept rather than how it is often applied. It just seems like, in practice, anything I would actually consider a microaggression is usually just called "being racist."

Stewart never tried to claim the middle ground, he was really just arguing in favor of sanity and open mindedness, which are fundamentally liberal things to me.
