Yeah, our company (which isn’t even that big) has a setting where any email going out to the whole staff has to be approved by an admin. Why companies don’t enable this is beyond me.

We talked to a bunch of the marshals, forecaddies, and security people when we went and for the most part (with the exception of uniformed security, which appears to be a third-party contractor), they really just enjoy being a part of the tournament. And truthfully, I would imagine the volunteers rarely have to…

My sophomore year of college, I was the RA for a pair of soccer players. Things didn’t work out for one of them and he withdrew. Quite a few people came to me over the ensuing month or so asking what happened to him, since he went totally incommunicado after he left. Without thinking, I would respond that he went…

1. Allow an eminently correct point to be buried under a refusal to admit you were wrong on the semantics of the headline.

The portion of the coaches with miffed and/or confused looks on their faces is wonderful. It’s like the photographer said “on the count of three, everyone say ‘catch rule’!”

In grad school I did a group project with a guy from India who was really into cricket and when he found out I loved baseball, he tried to get me to explain it through the lens of cricket. That’s when I realized the two games really aren’t that similar at all. The degree of similarity is on par with, say, handball and…

It’s ok, we can still send them as the “Olympic Athletes from the USA.” That’ll learn ‘em!

This is yet another example why coaches need to resist the urge to call a timeout when you need to cover the whole floor and make a shot to tie or win the game. When everyone’s operating on the fly, the offense always has a huge advantage. (Even if Newton had not chosen to shoot, he could have hit #20 wide open on the…

Actually, it’s the reverse in many places. Here in Charlotte you can buy any rifle through the normal gun-buying process but you need a permit from the Sheriff’s office to purchase a handgun.

This is the correct take. Even if you believe in an unconditional ban on firearms, you are an absolute moron if you think repealing the second amendment is a realistic proposition in America in 2018. You are an even bigger moron if you think insulting anyone who disagrees with you is a good way to make it a realistic…

This 1966 Yankees-White Sox contest actually takes the cake.

South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley filed a defemation of character lawsuit

It’s as if she thought she hadn’t inflicted enough discomfort and threw in that husky “let’s play some basketball!” to finish us off.

If the ban didn’t work in the Pacific States of America it sure as hell ain’t gonna work in the REAL ‘MERICA.

I went through the same thing with my college team (Wake Forest, basketball and football). Different particulars but same principle: we haven’t been good enough to be on real TV, but I live close enough that a lot of the games are blacked out online. It only took about two years for me to not even notice we were…

The IOC spent another $153 million on salary and benefits for its 533 employees

it’s odd to see the IOC struggling to provide straight answers regarding the application of their own rules at their marquee event

Counterpoint: 27 degrees is cold and no one is impressed that you or anyone else in this thread has been to a sporting event where it was colder.

I suggest you rethink your position on others.

So is being hit by a bus not a winter sport?
