Guys, THIS:

As an Indianapolis resident, I can report that there are quite a few big dicks flopping around town right now. (Walks past Peter King and Mike Florio waiting in line for brunch.)

“...his genitals came flying out of his shorts while trying to beat five seconds.”

That's at least a 7.2. Not sure what the 40 time was.

As a lord Gaben fan, thinking that Gaben could do no wrong, I was wrong. To ask him to put it on ice, then call him an ass is incredibly unprofessional, and if I was harden’s future employer knowing the personality he has and still interested to hire him, I would not let this impact my decision. Now the entire cast is…

I would actually much rather see Poe/Finn over Rey/Finn. It’s so goddamn predictable and inevitable that if the main leads are male and female, then they’re gonna fall in love.

I felt like they had good “friend” chemistry, but “boyfriend?” line came off like she had absolutely no interest.

So there’s a few things here. One, Harding is kind of representative of an earlier period in esports / streaming culture. So him getting fired like this for “being himself” is one of those moments where you can actually see a cultural shift happening.

Ignoring the obvious setup for the Finn/Rey romance would also help it mirror the ignored setup for the Luke/Leia romance. Since Star Wars as a series is almost completely devoid of any romantic subplots or onscreen chemistry, about the only shipping that makes sense right now is Finn/Poe since they were the only…

Literary SF maybe. Meaningful queer representation is still rare as hell in tv and movie sci-fi, at least until very, very recently.

They ignore the instances of Finn and Rey being set up for future romances because it feels forced, boring and the actors had no real chemistry with each other.

The chemistry between Poe and Finn was palpable onscreen, and I say that as a straight guy. The fact that there was no chemistry at all between Finn and Rey (much to Finn’s disappointment) wasn’t lost on me either.

I think you’re inventing a strawman here.

Ditto. I never understood why it was such a hit show.

Good. I was really let down by their apology for featuring her.

If you want to feel better about life, I just checked out the Land’s End Facebook page and there are now *hundreds* of pro-Steinem, pro-feminist comments on their lame “apology.”

Yes. It seems an unwarranted act of generosity to assume that he just blossomed into a predator after becoming a cop. He was probably always this way and being a football player just put him into a context where it was easier for him to get away with it. His behavior as a cop makes him sound like someone who’d been…

“well-rounded portraits”to monsters like Holtzclaw.

The man abused women he knew were vulnerable and wouldn't be able to say no. He is a predator. I don't think not going pro would have stopped him. It might have protected him more and offered him more victims. Failing football didn't turn him into a predator.

I hoped to present a more fully-rounded portrait of Mr. Holtzclaw than had appeared in the press. I hoped to explore the question of what had happened to this once-promising young man.
