OMG! They’re even keeping Mutombo from the truth???

My thought, exactly. I mean, does that $700 include a dessert which consists of Jello cubes slurped off various body parts of stunningly attractive hookers...?

With this one video, Deadspin has justified its existence on the Intertubes for the remainder of 2016.

Indeed. I can say from experience that nothing reshapes the universe around you like the sudden loss of a loved one.

I remember a long time ago (early 1980s?) hearing some discussion about spreading the Olympics across a number of permanent sites. Track and field in LA, skiing in Austria, swimming and diving in Australia, etc. Even way back then I remember thinking that the idea made so much sense there was almost no chance it would…

My wife and I are doing a pretty major house reno right now, so we’re making a lot of decisions that involve all these issues of utility, enjoyment, durability, etc.

Strongly agree. The current, division-focused system sucks out loud.

This article is a good example of why I almost never talk about the music I like with people other than my wife unless they ask, and even then I stay as vague and concise as possible without being rude.

His story, and yes, this picture make it really difficult to have sympathy for him and remember that the best thing for him and society is for him to get help and straighten out his life.

Exactly. Trump is an empty, self-promoting business suit. Cruz actually believes the crap he flings in all directions.

I find it astonishing that even in the year of Hindentrump [insert your own joke explanation here], Cruz hung on this long. The man is a vile human being, and a living example of the uncanny valley. I can think of no clearer condemnation of the extreme elements among the GOP voter base.

Hockey is more at war with its own history/”culture” than any other major sport, by a wide margin. Society and sports is moving swiftly away from violence and head hits, and you still can’t listen to sports talk radio in a hockey town without hearing ex-NHL players talking about the value of enforcers, why players…

This game is just about the perfect example of all the things that are wrong with the NHL. Terrifying hits, and the fans and hockey writers are arguing about whether a player left his feet or hit the other guy’s head first, etc. What a joke. Hockey is increasingly looking like a sad and dangerous anachronism.

Lots of good advice here, especially the part about avoiding the details about why you’re breaking up.

I was about to make an English units/metric joke, but yours is better.

I very often hear the related argument that you’d have things like 5-on-3s late in playoff games, etc., and that would harm the game. Maybe it would, for the first couple of times it happened, and then guess what? The players and coaches would figure out that those calls would be made and they would clean up their…

Agreed, but my main objection is that calling many fewer penalties is completely arbitrary. What one set of officials or even a single official thinks “should” or “shouldn’t” be called late in a playoff game differs from how other officials see it.

Manziel was a flaming train wreck before the draft. Being drafted and then entering the NFL merely dropped a tanker of gasoline on the fire.

I’ll second that comment about mold.

Yes, they are bungling the broadcasts. I can’t see how anyone could disagree.
