This is more of a band-aid than a full on fix.

It is impossible to say that Gilbert would not have interpreted a white player’s decision as a selfish betrayal of people who were entitled to his loyalty. However, there is much precedence in our society where these types of motives tend to be projected on black men, so I think it is reasonable to at least…

Not a bad idea, I probably should say something more direct. Of course, he is also one of these “anti-PC” types so the key will be to do it tactfully since his instinct will be to accuse me of being too sensitive.

My boss acts inappropriately toward female subordinates (uncomforable jokes, hand on shoulder while talking, etc). My response has been to ridicule him relentlessly for it, especially around other people who will cause him to feel embarrassed. I can say he stopped doing it around me. He is the CEO so I don’t really…

“Everyone is talking about the negative aspect of getting raped by Harvey Weinstein, put what about the positive aspect?”

The War of 1812 was essentially a draw, we didn’t accomplish any of our goals going in, our capital city was burned down, and we were lucky we got out of it as an independent country.

Yes, that was intended as satire.

Ads at the gas pump were inevitable. Oil companies went over a century without any profits but their investors are putting them under heavy pressure to start generating revenue.

“John, it’s the bottom of the 9th and we’re tied. We need you to extend the game.”

So their fear is that people would be so offended by her suggestion that boycotts work that they would boycott ESPN’s advertisers?

“it just shows the family love we have amount of alcohol she consumed,”

This drives me crazy. We are so glued to our phones that we can’t be bothered to soak in these big moments with our own eyes.

The kicking competition breathlessly covered by Hard Knocks seems especially comical in hindsight.

The whole situation reads like a Norm McDonald joke. “Evanss explained that his pills must have been contaminated when he stored them inside his bag of cocaine.” 

I’m not excited by the Bear’s front office, but your assessment is unfair. You cherry picked players to prove your point and still the majority are injury related. Marcus cooper isn’t really fair, aside from the one ridiculous play he is contributing fine for a $3M free agent CB.

“You can’t legislate against evil” should be viewed as the ultimate slap in the face to law enforcement.

the rules are cruel and unfair, and amount to a scheme to take tens of millions of dollars away from young men with nothing and make sure it ends up in the pockets of those who least need it.

Andy Reid is a terribly underrated coach because his flaws are so obvious he look like a sad walrus.

Did KC actually say this is why? It seemed to me like they were caught off guard by the extra point, were not that organized and just wanted to get it over with (also without injury). Which I don’t blame them for, but I don’t think they were thinking about Washington.

I would recommend a checkbox where you could hide paywalled content, ideally one that would include paywalled content I can view for free at the moment. Otherwise, it essentially becomes a bait and switch where I click on a site to get instant information and instead get an ad to subscribe, not really good for Google…
