“Vivek Ranadive is nothing if not trigger happy.”

I found this to be an informative and useful article.

“Despite what you may have heard in the media, the truth is that Ted Cruz was actually very well liked by many at Princeton.” - Dave Panton.

Hey; is that Jim Harbaugh with an AR-15 in the picture at the top? This is not going to end well for Jed York.

Here’s a picture of Manziel from the future (ca. 2030):

First, I disagree with your premise that “The Decision” was a dickish move; James may have made a publicly poor choice on how to handle his choice, but the choice itself was at least professionally and personally defendable. Second, even if it was a dick move, a single dickish data point does not an overall dick make.…

Half-agreed. Bonds was unarguably one of the three or so greatest players in MLB history and Terry is not at that level of the EPL (let alone world football). But Bonds was also a world-class dick, a shitty teammate, a prima donna, and a wife-beater; along the decency continuum of famous people, Bonds is way down at…

I’m a fairly childish adult man, so sports plays far too big a role in my life. As such, I have very strong opinions about various athletes. I tend to like players that are both skilled and not dicks. Lebron: like; Barry Bonds: dislike. That kind of thing.

Jujy, I’m sure your wife is wonderful and completely faithful and I mean no disrespect to either of you, but she has kept a picture of her former doorman’s large penis in a desk for 20+ years. Sure, she uses disparaging adjectives like “comically” and “creepy” when discussing it with you, but still. Courage, my man;…

I’m wondering how Ryan’s apology went. After you’ve called a Bible-pounding phony a “Bible-pounding phony”, I don’t really see how you walk that back. I mean, if he’d called him a “sociopath”, “philanderer”, “over-rated as a player and a coach”, “narcissistic hypocrite”, you can say, “Man, I’m really sorry, Mark. I…

The Patrice O’Neal one’s are more blatantly the same jokes. The Wendy Liebman joke is pretty standard “I’m a woman who speaks the truth about sex” fare; I’m betting you can find similar jokes in many female comedians’ routines.

Man, I miss Patrice O’Neal.

Back in 1999, I worked for Lockheed Martin. Because it was a “black program” (“it’s African-American program, Seth”), we had a classified email network we used daily as well as a Lockheed Martin corporate email we occasionally had to use for corporate communications and which was only accessible outside our “vault” on…

Its sad that our standards for human decency have fallen so low that we trumpet trivial moments of kindness from celebrities and athletes like this as if they were the stand of the 300 at Thermopylae.

Drew, your junior-high-boner experiment leaves a lot to be desired from a science experiment. I don’t care if the song playing is your grandmother singing you Happy Birthday, if you’re slow-dancing with a girl in junior high, you’ve got a boner.

Best line from CNN’s story on Frey’s death is:

While I agree with Timothy Burke that stupid voters are ultimately to blame for voting to build publicly-funded stadiums (either by approving a bond measure or, less directly, by voting for the star-struck officials who approve it), I also agree with Kevin Draper that using the political process to leverage better…

Welsh Jesus. Only because the Welsh are a hardscrabble people, Welsh Jesus doesn’t come to die for our sins but to score goals that cause sinners to die. And we’re all sinners.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and am a 49er fan. As much as football fans living in St. Louis and San Diego justifiably hate the venal owners of their former (or soon to be former) football teams, at least they don’t have to watch them destroy their team from up-close. Fucking Yorks.
