Can you imagine being on the UCLA basketball squad and being a big man on UCLA’s campus and then getting dragged to the middle of Lithuania to play a sport you’re never going to be good enough to make legit money playing?

Exactly. Have him take a bunch of sports marketing classes so that he can be his brothers’ agent when he graduates. He was never going to play in the pros, but this maniacal need to keep everything in the family with the Balls could’ve allowed him to make tons of cash just by riding his brothers’ NBA coattails on the…

“Well, that’s great. I’ve been dating too. Nice girl. An author. She wrote the book on male sexual dysfunction. You’ve probably read it.”

Ahh, gotcha. I don’t pay enough attention to college football to have seen that reaction. Typically, I see the exact opposite, which is why I posted my comment above. I’ve noticed that frequently the public just piles on and attacks athletes for not being perfectly poised at all times, and in the past I was part of…

You’re crazy! Cheese is the nectar of the gods!

I’m with you. I mean, the fans were atrocious, but it’s not like people look back ten years ago and say “hey, remember when Ron Artest bravely and justifiably went into the stands to attack Detroit fans? He was behaving reasonably.” If Jefferson had responded by going over and pointing out people behaving badly to…

Why exactly is that bullshit? When I was 22 I pulled a whole bunch of immature bullshit. Just because this guy throws a piece of leather well he isn’t allowed to be a dumbass like the rest of us?

I feel like Jurassic Park is a great example of how to make a great movie that is a lot dumber than it seems. People always shout about how dumb blockbusters should just be enjoyed (“just turn your brain off!”), as if dumb movies can’t also be good. Jurassic Park had great writing, excellent atmosphere and…

Eh, apples to oranges comparisons are inevitable. Even adjusting for inflation, tickets cost more nowadays, which depresses the number of tickets each consumer is willing to buy. I think a movie ticket nowadays costs the equivalent of like $0.70 cents back in 1940, but tickets only cost about $0.30 at that time- if…

I’ve got some big issues with this review- namely, it doesn’t come close to pointing out all the stupid things in this trailer, which is what it was explicitly about. The first Jurassic World was SHOCKINGLY stupid, and this one looks like it’s taking it up a notch.

While most of that is true, I’m not sure about the whole “he sleeps well” bit. He seems to have taken the change in the public’s perception of him awfully personal.

Wait...are there people out there who are medically eligible to eat cheese and DON’T love it?!?! Who are these people?!

I’m equally confused. Especially considering that like 2 weeks ago this website was essentially publishing conspiracy theories accusing the 76ers of intentionally doing everything they could to destroy his career and keep him from ever playing again, which this trade clearly demonstrates was a ludicrous accusation.…

What if it has nothing to do with the feasibility of accomplishing this goal, and everything to do with people considering their own views on the morality of such an outcome? Arguing about whether or not his proposal COULD work is ludicrous, and ignores the fact that he wasn’t even implying that this is something we…

You do realize he was only posing a hypothetical in order to get people to think about their own ethical and moral compasses, right? He’s not actually advocating a specific policy. He’s literally just asking “if people living under an autocratic dictator who causes them immense hardship, death, disease, famine, etc.,…

Oh c’mon, this is absolutely absurd. He’s asking for an ethical discussion, nothing more. It’s purely hypothetical. I don’t think my philosophy or law school professors were being flippant about human life by bringing up any number of trolley problem hypotheticals. The fact of the matter is that many of the options to…

I don’t even think that’s a debate. He needed like 500 votes in Florida to be President. He easily gets that many if he’s running for reelection with the same economy Clinton had.

He’s also saying that the end goal here is to get all three of them on the Lakers. He knows that one of them isn’t talented enough to make the pros, and the other two both play the same position, right?

It’s far more common and egregious. The NFL doesn’t have stoppages multiple times a game while guys flop around in faux agony trying to get a penalty flag, and neither does the NBA. Soccer is the only sport where guys repeatedly roll around on the ground like they got their legs blown off and then stand up and…

The link that Laura posted in this article literally has an update that points out that the kid tore his ACL. I clicked on the link, watched the gif, and thought to myself “oh man, that looks like a classic torn ACL”, then scrolled down and saw my suspicions confirmed. Just bizarre that Laura would continue laughing…
