Given that the man is a practicing Orthodox Christian, the numbers thing is a big deal among them.

Well, you might be onto something on that latter part. Man has had 8-9 recorded concussions? Wow.

Wow. Just wow.

Only ever flew through ORD once. Was traveling from COS to BWI (**shudder**), and oddly enough, my flight to COS actually went through DEN on that trip. Questioned the United agent at the desk as to why the schedule had me going through ORD on a holiday weekend (it was Easter ‘04), especially since I was very aware of…

As someone who lives directly in the footprint of BWI (it will NEVER be referred to by its token name, because the MD legislature is a gigantic toolbox), I prefer certain trips to be made from DCA, because I at least have an idea of what’s going on in Arlington, and the fact that a huge number of flights are direct,…

But that’s only if you’re going to IAD. It costs you if you’re going anywhere else between the DC Beltway and IAD.

Well, honestly, we all sort of needed that reminder, especially since there was yet another change regarding the firm. To wit:

In general, professional basketball is dumb. Zen Master here may be a tactical genius on the bench with the personnel he's given, but it's literally a different ball game when you're in the front office.

The token white guy is supposed to be like that. Do you not pay attention?

That last sentence. I see what you did there. Well played. +1

Yeah.

Well, seeing as how I personally don't recognize the NBA as an actual sports organization, along with the fact that I don't recognize professional basketball as a professional sport, all I have to say is this:

It's meant to be "cute" and "clever" in order to get people to buy copy. It's fucking stupid, and it makes most sensible people think you're full of shit.

I've already given you at least two entities that should have done something that trump the University's enforcement capabilities: the Centre County Sheriff's Office and the Pennsylvania State Police. Within the administrative enforcement realm, institutional standards fall under the Department of Education, and…

That's a pretty bold statement in impugning the local law enforcement entities for turning a blind eye to the entire situation. Here's a couple of things you need to be brought up to speed on:

Lena Dunham: I'd hit that...with a shovel. Then call the cops and claim it was self defense.

I never said anything about the NCAA not being able to issue sanctions. That wasn't my point. My point was that it was bullshit for the NCAA to come in on some high horse as a law enforcement entity and use that as the basis for its actions. You can argue all you want about the "lack of institutional control" strawman…

That's a good point you bring up. Yes, Paterno did have some "clout" on campus, but I think a lot of people over the years really overplayed what that meant and what it actually affected. You could easily pass off stadium officials telling the Blue Band they couldn't march on the turf at Beaver Stadium on a rainy day…

Show me where there's a mandate or directive that the NCAA can/should act as a legitimate law enforcement authority. I'd be more willing to accept the arguments for said sanctions if the NCAA was some sort of Federal agency, or perhaps a branch of the FBI/DHS/other Federal department.

Of the many things I've tried to decipher out of Shannon Sharpe's mouth over the years, there's only one thing I've heard him say that I totally agreed with:
