In other words, Rambis is trying to do exactly what has killed Kevin Love’s value in Cleveland.

Holy shit I love this kid.

Administrators are not your friends, college activists.

Taste is taste and everybody likes different things and that’s cool. For me, personally, it’s like with Google Glass — I’m just never gonna want to strap a computer to my face. I just have no interest in having technology literally hanging off of my head. And while I’m sure some will argue that this is a matter of my…

The funny thing is that college basketball was once a great place to find these. Duany Duany, Scientific Mapp, God Shamgod, Boubacar Aw....

Popcap is taking Plants Vs. Zombies back to its roots with a new mobile strategy game

It’s quite common for arrests to never result in prosecution, which means neither a guilty verdict nor a not guilty verdict. Which means that, when we operate under a social expectation that every presume guilt in a sexual assault case, the accused gets stuck in this kind of limbo. No one seems to have a good answer…

Why do you care what other people drink? I don’t drink raw milk. I also don’t jump out of planes or smoke cigarettes. But I prefer to live in a society where people are allowed to do those things. And more importantly, why get so hepped up about the consumer choices other adults make? You remind me of those people who…

The fine was a classic case of punishing the outcome instead of the deed, which the NFL does a lot now that…

The really scary thing is, it wasn’t even a dirty hit. Seemed like a typical blocking play in real time.

First rule of MMA: fight long enough and everybody loses. I know it wasn’t MacGregor’s first loss, but the point remains. People get way too hung up on endless win streaks that just aren’t sustainable in combat sports.

how many times did the shopkeeper dude tell him not to feed them after midnight

Fan entitlement is one of the worst aspects of video game culture. The fact of the matter is, fans don’t know what they’ll like until they get it, and pandering to fans is a recipe for making bad art, no matter what the medium. I hope Nintendo sticks to its guns.

Probably worth noting that people report sharply declining numbers of non-romantic friendships as they approach later adulthood even if they are unmarried.

Still my favorite.

Glad you wrote about the difficulty of being a casual fan of online multiplayer shooters. What I learned with Battlefield 3 was that in order for it to be fun, I had to play a lot in order to be minimally good. But I just don’t have enough time to play that much, so I feel left out from these kinds of games. It just…

So do people just not understand that Oscar Robertson would be a very improved player with modern conditioning, dieting, equipment, sports science, coaching, techniques, and the fact that he wouldn’t have to travel from Milwaukee to Los Angeles on a bus full of people smoking?
