Again, it's a choice that he made and one that he was fortunate to have.

Or just accept the fact that you'll only be treated slightly better than the non-scholarship students? But mostly better.

Everyone else on campus would have the same options available to them if they chose to do something else during the dining hall's regular business hours. He chose to go to practice or a game or whatever, in exchange for the considerations already mentioned. You can act like a dick all you want, but that doesn't change…

Like everyone else on campus. What a shame.

Point is, they're already given plenty of consideration in exchange for the school's benefit (whether real or perceived). The NCAA doesn't limit college athletes to one meal, they only allow the school to provide one- there are plenty of other options, including using your status as a star athlete to have a friend…

Maybe those 99.9% should have chosen to do something other than be a college athlete? Last I checked, they're not forced to play, they choose to and are often given some consideration (in the form of tuition, adulation, relaxed classroom standards, etc) in return.

Posts like this are why Allah invented the Internet. Well done.

Did Kareem retire before Dr. J (to lazy to google)? I remember Dr. J being given the goodbye treatment during his final season with the Sixers. Regardless, it's been around for a while.

70.3 is a half ironman, they call it "Ironman 70.3" to distinguish it from the full ironman distance of 140.6.

Doesn't look like anyone is profiting from the use of Johnny Manziel's own name to me.

Meh. A lot of the Hawks 'bandwagoners' have been fans off and on throughout their life, and come from families that have followed the Hawks for more than one generation. They're not all traditional "never heard of the team two minutes ago" type bandwagon jumpers. I've never lived in Miami, but I'm guessing that…

"The story itself is a good one: Nick was born with a rare disease called neurofibromatosis, which is a nerve disorder that causes tumors to randomly grow anywhere on the body. He's battled chemotherapy, and he's lost vision in one eye." I'd hate to see what you would consider a 'bad' story...

They couldn't have finished by 10:53 am eastern time. I was watching the race at 10:53 am central and the elites had yet to finish...

I love tailgating at Miller Park, but saying that the stadium is 'owned by the residents of Milwaukee' doesn't mean that the Brewers weren't gifted operating rights along with the free stadium. If I've learned anything from those Field of Schemes guys, it's that taxpayers don't have much say in what happens to their…

Pfft- math. If you really think about it, you actually have a 50/50 chance of winning your bracket (you either will or you won't).

I'm all for the free throw idea. It should be shooter's call- if someone gets fouled outside of the three point line, maybe they'd rather have three free throws than one uncontested three point shot. Or, maybe Dwight Howard would rather take the free throw in the paint where he was fouled than go to the line for two.…

When pressed for further details, Kukoc simply replied, "We will do as the party tells us. We will die for the general. We have nothing to envy." from his new thewaiter@kukoc.kp email address.

You know that one NBA city, that isn't Miami, that wouldn't cheer for LeBron being injured?

I mean, somewhere, there are two presumably functioning human beings that created the person that crafted this gem. Spooky.
