So Sybil on "Downton Abbey" didn't die from complications in childbirth?

I'm not sure. I guess it made people part of an artistic trend to others who recognised it, and to the wider world it would look unique until everyone else realised it wasn't? "I will ride this wave while I can" perhaps.

It's actually not a fact. The vast majority of scholarships give MEAL PLANS, which are only redeemable whenever the cafeteria is open, and at most, three meals a day. So you had a rough evening practice, and want to get something to eat at 9:15? Sorry, kid. Cafeteria's closed, and because you're on scholarship you…

I agree with you; it was just about making a grand gesture and focusing all eyes on herself. Seriously, over an 11-year relationship there were no good, romantic times when she could have proposed? It had to be done where a bunch of people had no choice but to be involved? Ugh.

I am really very curious about whether the worker who diagnosed the IUD as a pregnancy was doing it in a deliberately misleading way or if it was a diagnostic mistake. Neither would surprise me, but it'd be interesting to know.

Everyone should watch all of this. It was worth it. I teach at a university and most of this is hidden from us, but I have gotten hints about how difficult the schedule is, how their lives are controlled, and there have been some scandals about how the athletes on certain teams have been treated by their coaches. I…

I had a kindergarten student tell me he was going to skip college and go straight to the pros. We had a long talk about how many other jobs are not only more beneficial to society as a whole, but much more easily attainable for him. I then pulled his mom to the side and told her to tell him about real dreams, and…

nah, people don't like the way he doesn't play ball with the media, so they call him a "thug" which is code for "n***er."

Really? You were on the same team at the same school at the same time and can attest to this?

You mean the athletes that couldn't work during their time in school, and therefore probably had no disposable income? The athletes that were most certainly in the 99% majority that didn't become professionals? The athletes that if they played a money sport probably didn't have time to learn anything or develop any…

And when you left college, I'm sure that you took an unpaid internship for 4 years in the hopes that at the end you would get a job commensurate with your talents.

Wouldn't it just be like all the other media coverage of sports? Suck-assing and pretending that the game really matters.

This is why I tell all of the kids on my basketball teams that right now, the game is just fun. Rec league and club sports, and even AAU to an extent, is just fun. When you get into college, basketball becomes a thankless job. You are an unpaid intern being yelled at by someone who can't do a third of what you can do,…

Ew this looks like garbage and I can't fix it. Kinjaaaaaa!

Fun fact: more people in NZ signed a petition to fire her than have bought her last album.

Funny the way the word "almost" works.

I'm Nigerian, and I can tell you for a fact that this is such an unsurprising news because bribes of all types are considered part of normal day to day interactions between cops and citizens.

It's 'Oh my god! You're a ski-racer' or 'You help the animals.'" She added, "You know, I own the biggest vegan company in the world."

Far as I'm concerned, she's complicit in what Bill Clinton did to Ricky Ray Rector. Long story short, Bill fought hard to ensure a mentally damaged man judged to have a mental age of 5 or under, who had no memory of the crimes he'd committed or any understanding of what death is, would go to the execution chamber. He…
