SC man who opposes Obamacare, gets sick, wants free medical care. Saved by donations from Obamacare supporters. This is America today.

This is the new world of football I guess, and more power to guys like Megatron and Beast Mode for leaving on their own terms. They’ve had very productive careers, and in Lynch’s case, a ring, and what more is there at this point for them other than increasing risk of catastrophic or irreparable injury? Megatron sees…

Arsenal couldn't score because...Arsenal.

This is basically every story ever done on Ray Lewis since he killed those 2 people in Atlanta.

Great point. Their tactics make them seem like they are dead serious about starting a wingnut insurrection, but their choice of venue is laughable. Which indicates, as you point out, that they are not serious. This is FOX News theatrics pretending to be something more than it is. What they hope for, at best, is to…

What a waste of talent. He if wasn't such a petulant head case, he'd be one of the world's best right now and getting better.

Uh, this is the Guardian. You read it for left-wing takes and an overabundance of ultra-feminist columnists. It’s the British equivalent of watching Real Sports to get analysis and getting your sports takes from the NYT. It’s the sports sections for the reader who really knows nothing or cares nothing about sports.

Coldplay counts among its devoted fans Peter King, David Brooks, Joe Scarborough and friends. So we can officially declare that Coldplay’s place in our culture is comparable to: a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte; a Brooks Brothers ensemble for a day on the water but with “crazy socks”; a Lexus SUV; a Panera turkey…

The bubble gum flavored antibiotics my 6 year-old got prescribed tasted so good my 3 y/o was losing his shit because he couldn't have more than a small sample. I assure you, the kiddie meds taste better these days.

Kaep and RG3 don’t learn the playbook and don’t watch film or do anything that makes QBs successful. The Niners offense was simplified for Kaep and he still failed. There are high school teams with more elaborate offenses that the Niners. The league adjusted to these 2, they didn’t improve their game, and now they’re…

When I was at Yale in the late 90’s, we fought for the same things as what Yale student activists are fighting for now. Only back then we got no attention from anyone. We were ignored completely. It was a quiet, thankless and fruitless struggle to get more diversity in the faculty and the curriculum. We looked with…

I and many fellow Asian American Yalies (from circa late 90’s) will attest that most of us had significantly higher SAT and test scores relative to any other group, except maybe the Jewish students. Even in the 90’s it was painfully obvious that Yale and the Ivies were holding back the “Asian flood” with quotas. UC…

Your grandmother sounds like a true saint of a woman. And your mom is the only woman I’ve ever heard of who wanted to see Aliens.

During officer basic training, an Army buddy of mine once gave me his deceptively simple “Unified Field Theory of Army Training.” Ask anyone what their basic training was like and they’ll tell you it was harder than it is now, and by implication everyone who went after that person is a wuss. In other words, human…

Honestly stunned by how much people apparently like him. He actually ruins the act of watching games for me.

Ah, the Arsenal season is going just as expected.

This season has been epically anomalous for Mourinho. His record speaks for itself. If you want to win, however which way you do it, he’s your man. He’s done it in Serie A, La Liga, and BPL. He’s done it with the same players and talent that couldn’t get to the top under other heralded managers. But it has rarely, if…

When you look at individual players, the case for Quinn’s argument is more compelling. One example: I’ve followed the career of a former NFL TE who was a college classmate of mine. In college (FCS/D1AA), he was a stud WR who broke school and conference records and carried the offense (while remaining relatively…

Without the Matt Damon Bourne movies, there is no rebooted (Daniel Craig) Bond. After the first Bourne movie came out, I told a friend who is a fanatical Bond fan, “They should remake Bond in the mold of the new Jason Bourne movies.” Voila! You get Bond doing parkeur. Bourne’s influence on action flicks today is…
