On the one hand you’ve got (1) a country with corrupt politicians, a bad-getting-worse economy, and a Zika outbreak and (2) a corrupt, international organization that offers illusory riches to any country that is stupid/desperate/corruptible, as long as the country agrees to host that organization’s quadrennial…

Not that convinced of the “Randy Moss” and “levelheaded voices” connection, but I’ve always hated Chris Carter, so at least for now, this is a net gain for me. The thing with Lewis was that, unless he was going to admit to the killing, he added nothing except more hot air to an already Hindenberg-level of hot air.

I can’t imagine there is a more terrifying thing than a full-speed Lebron James coming at you.

As someone who watches the Kings fairly closely, I have to conclude that if Joeger felt that Grizzlies’ management worked against him and that the roster sucked, there should be no amount of money the Kings could offer him to take over one of the more dysfunctional teams in the league. This assumes Joeger is a…

If you assume the absolutely make-believe, practically-Orwellian term “student-athlete” is in any way applicable to football players at a school like A&M, then, yes, Lugenbill is an asshole for insisting that kids have to man-up while adults get to act petulantly without consequence.

Hockey fights are specifically allowed because Newton’s Third Law of Motion means the punches are meaningless whilst the players on their feet/skates. Once a player goes down to the ice, however, the consistent application of physics means the punches now have meaning, so the refs immediately stop the fight.

To be fair, the video doesn’t show every thing that happened previously. Its very possible that the big asshole in green is a time-traveler who went back to 1940, discovered that Adolf Hitler was also a time-traveler, then found himself back in the present, playing a nice Saturday game of football, when he realizes…

I had a strawberry & banana bowl this morning and it was very good. It was probably about 6 ounces of fruit total. Hope this helps!

The Kings are a sad story. They have had one of the most illogically loyal fan bases since moving to Sacramento in the mid-80's, a fan base that has been rewarded with 30 years of boring mediocrity (save for the 8 playoff seasons around the turn of the century). The current team is owned by a meddling idiot,…

Jesus, Samer; what kind of reporter are you? This woman obviously knows something she’s not telling us and you have a journalistic duty to track that down.

I am not a Red Sox fan and hate Schilling because even before he became wildly known as a racist idiot, he was one of those ex-player “analysts” who consistently said dumb things with an air of superiority (i.e., “Well, I’m not a doctor and I don’t read all those studies about the effects of pitch counts, but I know a…

I don’t think you’ve ever seen the inside of a men’s public restroom. I am a man who tries to make as little mess as possible in the world (well, outside of my desk), but I’m apparently in a miniscule minority because most men’s restrooms are as bad or worse than that one in Trainspotting:

I’m often asked my age and my immediate response is about 15 years younger than my actual 52 years. So, same.

The problem with your premise is that it implies that different cultures have different acceptance of killing others. Potential racist interpretations aside, this could be a legitimate premise if all other factors can be controlled (as butts and stuff points out below, most of the “high-scoring” nations on the World…

While I agree that public safety officers shouldn’t be expected to sacrifice their lives in every circumstance, it seems like this would have been a pretty low risk situation. Tie a line around one of them, have him swim to the car and break out the windows (I’ve got one of those seatbelt-cutter/window-breaker knives…

Padres catcher Derek Norris: “Dudes! Where’s my catcher’s mask strap? The game’s about to start!”

My dad played high-level AAU basketball (back when it was essentially the level just below the NBA, like the NBDL is now) when I was a kid, so I grew up around tall men. My dad was always average height to me, even though he was tad over 6'2". I played basketball in high school, so most of my friends were relatively…

He has pages. Here’s Shelley Duvall reviewing them:

I’m fairly sure that any single person making $120,000 in SF would not describe themselves as living comfortably. Yearly rent for a one-bedroom would take about 40% of that, not including utilities.
