You guys are really in a führer over this.

I only take Harvey out if he dies before the 27th out

Uh. I can assure you that being someone’s fiancé doesn’t grant you the ability to make medical decisions for the person. Fuck, I couldn’t even get Comcast to talk to me when my husband and I were engaged. You have no legal rights as a “fiancé"

OK - so I believe that Simmons could be petty enough to add that clause. However, I don’t believe that it would affect their decision. Losing four editors might have pushed them over the edge. But using the lack of notice as a reason to close the whole thing? I call bullshit.

Not defending ESPN necessarily, but being publicly traded seriously restricts what you can disclose to your employees before disclosing it publicly because of insider trading, etc.

UPDATE: Kerry’s down from the tree.

Maybe you noticed, Simmons left Grantland months ago. A lot of good people just lost their jobs, and our industry just lost a lot of good paying work opportunities.

I do replay for the jumbotron in the arena in my town. This situation is basically porn for me.

I'm glad we're not friends so I don't have to be seen with you in the summer.

This better?

Take that Brian McCann you fat fuck.

I think people who take their coffee with skim milk are the most mentally disturbed of all. That shit tastes like despair and starvation.

For what it’s worth, I just searched my digital copy for “Korean” and “Korea,” and there were no results.

Well, exactly. Assuming that someone named “Mindy Park” is Korean is just as bad as whatever whitewashing this movie is being accused of. In a book, unless it’s specifically indicated in some way, it’s up to the reader to fill in those kinds of gaps with their own baggage and prejudices and preconceptions.

I just read this book twice in a row and there is zero mention of Mindy Park being Korean-American. I’ll re-read it again to make sure, but I’m fairly certain there’s not a single indicator of whatever her ethnicity might be.

STOP GETTING IN THE WAY OF MY OUTRAGE.

I thought Chiwetel Ejiofor was only cast when an Indian actor had to back out at the last minute?

Whitewashing with a black actor. It seems there was a pretty fair variety of ethnicity in the movie. People just want something to bitch about

Sure, Chris Harris beat everyone to the punch, but it was a punch that beat Top Gear first.

A restaurant near me J&R’s Steakouse, has an eating challenge where you get an hour to eat a 72oz steak plus sides and it’s free, otherwise it’s $49.99. A bunch of friends went there for my brother’s bday and all 4 of the guys decided it was time to go for it. One ordered it rare, he was done in 24oz, ching ching $50…
