Well that was NEARLY refreshing. Seeing a dude own his shit is so rare. I feel DIZZY.

And here comes the cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, everybody knows that he’s generally a thoughtful person (in the sense that he thinks about stuff on multiple levels), and we also know that he’s a strong and insightful writer. So it’s really no surprise in that sense that he was able to craft what may be one…

Elena, this illustration is excellent.

It’s worth reminding people that the mechanics of TBI literally mean that there is no way that any ordinary helmet can “save” you from a concussion. The only way to do that is to decelerate slowly enough that the impulse is spread out over a long enough period of time. That’s how crumple zones and airbags work, and…

My son just received his varsity jacket for Marching Band. He asked me if I was disappointed that it wasn’t for Football.

Nope. They wouldn’t let him in years ago because he was such a loser. Certainly not gonna do it now.

Well in three years, this guy should be available!

Like I said early how terrible of a human being will the next guy to be commissioner be if The owners are displeased with Roger. 

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

Yeah, I realize I’m toeing the line of shit take. But at the same time, when a collective is getting the pillory ready, it’s also important to remember when genuine remorse has been shown.
