“Mykonos Style”

Sure, you say this, but then I follow it to the logical conclusion of “fuck all the guys!” and suddenly I’m a “slut”.

He loves writing, though. He’s been tossing out Dunk and Egg stories for years. He just doesn’t want to write any more Song of Ice and Fire.

I’m not sure if this is better or worse than “Carolina is the best 1-loss team in the NFL right now”, so an upvote you get.

“Internal compliance activity” isn’t of questionable value, at least not to the managerial class. It distracts the productive employees with seeking positive feedback (or, more precisely, avoiding reprimand) through arbitrary ritual. This forces them into a constant state of low-level paranoia about their performance…

You generally have to pay doctors a lot to be corrupt.

You can get a decent discount if you buy a previous-generation phone. Or, rather, by not getting the exact newest shiny toy, you don’t pay the latest-and-greatest premium.

He knows how to finish it, he just doesn’t want to. Writing was all fun and neat when he could add new plot threads and twists, but once you have to start tying them all together, a lot of what makes it the actual activity of writing enjoyable dries up.

This is... well, mediocre Kinja. You can do better.

I think roster size is key, a/k/a at any given level of talent, you’re more likely to get a spot in football than any other sport. Baseball has minor leagues, but the minimum salary for making the 53-man roster in the NFL is something like 30 times what they pay in AAA baseball. One season of the NFL can literally be…

Doomstake.

I don’t think Stephen A. Smith really believes what he says. He figured out pretty quickly that generating controversy was the way to get people interested in what he was doing, and that he could get away with saying things about black athletes that most other sportswriters couldn’t (I think this makes him patient…

Ruffin the pisser.

This. “Strangers offering candy” is basically a myth we perpetuate to avoid thinking about how kids are way, way more likely to get molested by family members or other authority figures than random pervs creeping around in bushes.

It took me an absurdly long time to figure out what I was looking at.

Whoa, a Queen of Wands reader?!?

It’s not like college football was invented and had most of its traditions developed in New England or anything.

If it has one throwaway gag as good as My Dinner With Andre action figures, it’ll be worth it.

The difference is that Adam Sandler formulaic isn’t funny

The problem is, no punishment the NCAA could impose would ever actually fit the enormity of the crime. How many wins should the team have to give up before we call it even? 100? 1000? Trying to express outrage over this kind of actual criminality through sports punishment just trivializes it, I think. Which I suspect…
