Lesson learned: Franklin takes rejection way too seriously!

I guess you have to be dead then to get a proper salute from the Leafs, eh?

They sure did!

He didn't have a father in his life and grew up loving Cosby from afar, then Cosby is going to come to speak to a small group at school and he gets to meet him (pretty exciting stuff) and he calls him a retard in front of the people whose opinion probably mattered the most to him at the time — his teammates and

football got him into an elite college, something that happens to a very small percentage of hopeful but underprivileged kids. even a gpa of c+ no doubt involved some coddling, however the kid DID graduate and overcame all sorts of hurdles to do so. he wasn't nfl material so went on to a CAREER IN EDUCATION. he

Brown was a full time student with a full time job (40/hours a week easy) that was physically demanding and mentally draining at a university that doesn't allow you to take pretend classes. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Now Cosby on the other hand.

Yeah, I'm with you. This email made me genuinely sad.

This breaks my heart even more than the original post. Maybe I'm generalizing based on my own experiences, but there are those good and bad moments in our lives that we crave to repeat or struggle to forget. I don't know if anyone saw the movie 'The Loneliest Planet", but there is a scene where one of the characters

Who would of thought the chiefs vs. the 0-10 raiders would've been the best TNF game of the year so far?

I firmy believe he is the second best already. Two years from now, he'll be the best overall. Baring a catostrpohic injury, I don't see any way this doesn't happen.

Anthony Davis is awesome, but the standard for now is Olajuwon in 89-90: 24.3 / 14 / 4.6 blocks / 2.1 steals

I don't think there's a player who's more fun to watch in the league right now. It's like a tornado of pure skill. Anywhere he moves to, there is a radius around him of sheer basketball chaos he can cause for his gain.

I know that people like to talk trash about Wins Produced all over the internet, but according to WP48, Davis is averaging nearly half a win (by himself) per 48 minutes this year. Not even Magic Johnson or Dennis Rodman, two mythical beasts of win production, have reached this number. I think LeBron's career high is

If Davis plays the full season and isn't top-3 in MVP votes simply due to NOP's win/loss record, it'll be a gigantic snub.

He's also only shooting 18 times per game, hitting nearly 55% of them. His only 'weakness' is his free throw shooting percentage.

And when you watch him, it's not like he really has much of an idea on offense. He has a pretty nice jumper, but no really post moves other than, "I'm taller than you, faster than you, have longer arms than you, and can jump higher than you, I'm going to put the ball in the basket."

Where the fuck did Matthew go to college that a bunch of 20 year old kids were defending Heath Ledger's honor 7 months after he died? Was he actually at Heath Ledger's brother's party?

Halloween 2005: Freshman year of college, I made a road trip to Ohio University to visit a girl I knew from summer camp. Wearing a hand-made Quailman costume (complete with underwear over shorts and a belt around my head), I made the wise decision to funnel about half a solo cup of 151 a "the hockey house" and then

Imagining you copying and pasting a 10,000 word rant into the tiny Kinja box and watching the formatting go down like a house of cards >>>>
