What? Are coaches suppose to police the players.

As a former college athlete let me tell you that you have no idea what goes on during recruitment. They school gives the players money to make sure recruits have a good time. It’s not uncommon for a football team to spend school money on booze and strippers to “woo” potential recruits. Coaches should definitely be…

Are coaches supposed to police the players? Yes, that is part of coaching, getting your players to behave and punishing them if they don’t.

Ever played sports? Coaches create the culture. It starts with recruiting. They stop bringing in questionable guys. They make sure everyone understands what’s expected of them even before they get to campus. They drill it into them at practice. And if they hear about anything from other players they confront the…

I’m really happy in my marriage, as all of you very well know ;)

This is one of those situations where seemingly contradictory things are true at the same time. Mental illness is a bear to live with and shouldn’t be stigmatized the way it is. Those of use who deal with it (hello depression and anxiety!) shouldn’t lose our jobs and livelihood because of it. HOWEVER. When a situation…

Elba’s a handsome, charming talented guy. Why wouldn’t he be a “thing,” if presumably you like Tatum for the exact same reasons?

I understand B's birthday party was 70s themed but if Chance wanted to wear that outfit all the time, I wouldn't be mad.

That part is pretty awful. I don’t expect any better from most Republicans anymore, but yeah, despite sympathy for her problems and all, still mad at her for this.

I understand why you deleted, but I’m sorry you had to. Mental illness is so stigmatized in the workplace in the US, it’s truly horrible (I’m sure it is elsewhere too, but I can’t speak to that). I have had to keep so much secret because I’m afraid that instead of getting support I’ll have people trying to give me…

Deleting all of this because I can’t afford to have it traced to me. That’s how bad it is professionally to struggle with mental illness.

I really feel you and very good point. I’m proud of you for speaking up for yourself!

Yeah, it seemed like she was doing the old-school Hollywood deal of uppers in the AM and downers in the PM.

Having to discuss mental health issues in a professional context is one of the more humiliating things to do in the American workplace. I had to do it today and even though the outcome was extremely favorable for me, I still want to curl up in a ball and hide forever. I can’t imagine having to deal with it on this…

Sounds like she was balancing opioids with Adderall or Ritalin. How many people did her office prosecute for some version of the very same behavior, one wonders....

prescription drugs prescribed for back pain, the DMN’s sources told them, as well as a drug to treat attention deficit disorder.

Yes, definitely. Typing notes is like a direct pathway from my ears to my fingers— completely bypassing my brain. When I write by hand, for whatever reason, the words actually have to pass through my brain and potentially stick there.

Nah, I’m the same way - I’m 28 and still prefer to hand write all of my notes, even in an office environment. In undergrad I took a notebook to lectures/discussion sections, and would later type up all of my notes (along with any important book passages, etc.) to make a study guide for exams/midterms/finals. The…

“If I look out at at my classroom virtually none of them are using a notebook.”

And OF COURSE a quick web search proves that there were no women involved in producing, directing or writing. Go Figure.
