They agonized over it because they knew they were going to have to DQ the “winning” horse and it’s extremely hard to make the proper call when it’s the Kentucky Derby. The audience is 90% uninformed choads who watch 3 races a year and will nevertheless loudly complain about something they know nothing about.

I’ve seen horses DQed for way less egregious infractions than that. Cutting off two other horses and forcing them entirely out of contention in a race is absolutely worth a DQ.

I think offsides replays are ridiculous.

You will not replace us like they had to replace the bottom third of Joe Theismann's leg!

The consequences for some of these young women might be the difference between getting a college degree without debt, or either racking up tons of debt to finish school or not finishing at all.

At least you don't live above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley.

Crazy nugget about Sagrada Familia from Wikipedia:

As someone who watched Ryan Howard’s end-of-career slide into complete and utter futility, I feel these fans’ pain. And, I will never understand how a team can send a guy out there, night after night, when he very clearly does not have the ability to hit at the major league level.

Where’s the Any key?

I think it makes sense to just drop the questioning part altogether. My kid’s motive for not eating their broccoli is obvious, so I think it makes sense to simply say, “Next time eat your broccoli.” If they protest about how they really did, just cut off the protest with another “Next time eat your broccoli.” No…

You know how there are some people who, whenever you correct them on anything no matter how small or inconsequential, will turn it into a 20 minute episode of whataboutism and name-calling that ends with everyone within earshot wanting to claw their own faces off?

Once they’re all teenagers, a little shit in the shower is nothing compared to what is going to be, quite literally, all over your house.

I presume she is interviewing the prospective trainers with her genitals.

This is a fair point, but consider that this caddy was not chosen at random. An elite-level golfer isn’t just picking some rando to lug his bag around. Someone - maybe his agent? - likely did research to pick someone who knows the course way better than a regular caddy ever could. Who is good at his job and can adjust…

He caddied well enough for Kuchar to win the tournament, so I’m really not sure what you’re on about. He’s put in who knows how many hours learning the course Kuchar was playing. He got to know Kuchar’s game well enough to caddy him to a tournament win on that course, so I don’t really see how you conclude the service…

Kuch didn’t hire the non-union Mexican equivalent just to pay him the same amount of money. Come on now!

10% is customary because good caddying is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT to winning golf tournaments. He was a replacement caddy? Fuck you! If he doesn’t do a good job, Kuchar isn’t winning shit. Paying someone for the full value of the service they provide should not be something people “well, ackshully” but hey, this is…

I’ll take two days of monk-like quiet over being subjected to the same five songs a million times.

No one who speaks German can be an evil man.
