No clue. Fascinating, right? As well as terrible. People call it an addiction — I wonder if neurologically it is.

I’m very sorry for your loss. That’s terrible.

Duh. One of my high school classmates died at 31 from skin cancer. She lived in a cold climate — but she was a tan-orexic. Had a bed installed in her home. This is a ludicrous practice.

Love the show, and find it to be more consistently depressing than consistently amusing or likable. But I had to stop listening for a while after “Animal Sacrifice” where I learned that Ira and his wife are insane — keeping an anxious, fear-biting pit bull with a hundred health issues in their apartment when any…

But guns don’t kill people.

I have this model, for my 2 dogs and cat. It works pretty well, but you do still have to mop, albeit once or twice a week tops. I have hard floors with rugs, it goes over both with very few issues.

Sad you don’t have the same advantage.

Obviously you don’t understand jokes. Which may make you a judge; or a law student.

Second email suggests that it’s okay if you are unaffiliated with the school (seeking information about the status). But then comes the dreaded “media” ban. Not so crazy — may have a chilling effect on the youngsters learning how to get away with horrible shit from a lawyer. Arguably inviting outsiders destroys the…

Fair point. But I gotta say: I never met someone who went to Bama and thought “Wow! I gotta send my kid there! What a smart place!” Instead, I say, “Wow, that guy is really into football and drinking.” Full disclosure: I view Penn State exactly the same way, except going there makes you more employable in PA.

Look, it would have been fine if he were a state resident, or went to Emory, or Rice. But lots of not so smart bros from up here have been descending on Southern schools I’ve noticed. Maybe they are creating the problem, maybe they are just exacerbating it. They are twits.

Great. There are no Confederate flags or drunk yuppies in button downs.

A colleague’s son started at Alabama this year. I wondered why a kid from the Northeast would head there. But between the stories I hear, and the ones I see, it’s clear he was just too stupid to get into a school in the North. I’m sure he is in that crowd, with the guy with the Washington hat.

He’s so grateful that he has repeatedly declined to show any remorse, is a regular shitbag, and gets hands-y with the coaching staff. Yeah, I sure he just demonstrates his gallant love for the team all day long as he gets Chair for Dez Bryant and changes the ice in Romo’s ice bath. We just don’t get to see it.

If ever there were a reason for a bounty bowl....

The most surprising thing about this to me is that supermodels eat dinner. Lots of sports stars take up with sketchy doctors. Novak Djokovic was allegedly diagnosed as gluten-intolerant by a guy who had him hold a piece of bread to his stomach. Most of what they do is standard nutritional advice and the rest is…

transparently, with a low moan.

Most high school sports (in many states, anyway) have mandatory baseline testing to establish levels for concussion testing. Problem is it is conducted by trainers with varying levels of experience in using the equipment. But you are right, an EKG would be useful.

1000 attacks a year suggests that there is a deep-seated, awful misogyny going on in India. Add this to the consistent use of rape there, and the refusal or inability of the legal system to deal with it, and I’d say this is a case of Indian exceptionalism which we are well and truly able to review and say: this sucks.…

But sports build character!
