Why not forfeit beforehand, then or at least tell everyone what you're gong to do. Something seems wrong about chucking the towel three seconds into the fight where there's nothing unexpected happening...

Its not really like Nirvana bringing the Meat Puppets on stage, because (1) that was just a gig, not an attempt to write themselves into the history of a city's music scene and (2) Nirvana was hugely influential band that has a rightful place in rock history, much more so than the Meat Puppets. Can't say the same for…

I have no criticism of the artists who appear in the doc. My criticism is of Grohl using their cred to pimp the FFs. That's not hard to understand, is it? Except for a discussion of Scream, the FFs don't belong in the conversation. You seem to be saying that's OK because the artists will benefit. I disagree, both…

Well, there you go. I like lots of pop music and don't begrudge Grohl his success. Just don't find anything redeeming in the music. FF songs always sounds like something I should like, given my love of grunge, alt, punk, etc.; I just don't. It's fine if you like it, but that doesn't make it new, original,…

Yes. FFs are not important. At all. Easy listening plug in for "edgy" pop radio. No one would have ever heard of them if they weren't fronted by "the drummer from Nirvana" or if frat boys didn't buy records. They are as soul-less as all the big rock bands Nirvana was rebelling against. Ironic really, because…

Ends justifies the means much? I'd rather not have more exposure if it means rewriting history to include the FFs as an "important" band. Those kinds of compromises are completely antithetical to the principles of the bands you want the kids to learn about. Fuck that and fuck the FFs. Whatever cred Grohl can claim…

If it was a stand-alone doc, I'd agree. But, it's really just a FF promotional piece and it inherently equates the FFs with the legends interviewed/discussed. Which makes me puke. It's like a review of an Unwound album in which the author spends most of the article talking about his or her high school band. The…

The name will be changed within five years. Take that to the bank. Not sure? See gay marriage and legalized pot discussions from just a few years ago...

He was a bust. 90 tackles, each 12 yards downfield, doesn't mean much. He sucked for the Raiders, couldn't stick with the Ravens and was retired and out of the league. Now, four and a half years after he was drafted, he's playing well. Would he have developed a little better if drafted by another (not totally…

McClain was fucking terrible with the Raiders. Washed out with the Ravens, too. Total bust. When you talk about "uppity" you are calling someone a racist. Believe me (long-suffering Raiders fan), the universal hate for Rolando had nothing to do with his skin color and everything to do with his failures on the…

he's still being a dick.

One of the better comments in the history of the Gawker empire IMHO

Fuckwit is my favorite.

Yeah. Don't compare stuff unless the two things are identical. Racial discrimination and sexual orientation discrimination have nothing in common and it's not like showering was involved in both stories.

Well, here's news, there are gay guys showering in every NFL locker room and gay gals in every gym's women's shower. So, if you don't want to be naked in front of someone who might be attracted to you, you should only shower in private. Sorry that Michael Sam's honesty is making you think harder about something…

Emo Lebron.

I would scream "Texas Justice" with finger guns and shooting sounds. And then die happy. Huge fan.

Yes, you are proving my point was that people often think that "but" NEGATES, as in "on the contrary" in your quote. Notice, however, that all the other definitions you quoted, including "yet" (also part of the first quoted definition), demonstrate that both the statement before and after the but are intended as…

No criticism of you intended, but I hate that particular argument. The semantic meaning of "but" is the same as "and," with an additional implication that the two statements are in tension. "But" does not negate the previous statement, it indicates that the thing that will follow is ALSO true, despite some apparent…
