The story’s original headline, not my one-sentence analysis and summary of it, contains the absurd conclusion, specifically that the cops shot and killed a guy simply because he stole a vehicle.

I sincerely hope not either. However, the headline “Police Appear To Shoot Stolen Van Suspect...” implies that the cop(s) shot the suspect for no reason other than because he stole a van, not because the suspect displayed a gun and aimed it at the cops while evading arrest. A more accurate headline may be, “KTLA…

Police appear to shoot stolen van suspect...AFTER the suspect obviously pulls out a gun and aims it at the cop, obviously with the intent to shoot.

Guy goes, ‘Jemele’s a woman.’ I go, ‘Shit.’ I guess that makes sense. Jemele, yeah… but it could be a guy. I don’t know.”

David Stern to Adam Silver, for example.

Forty-eight pounds of meth? That sounds like a lot.

If mentioning a “corgi/chihuahua mix named Biggie Smalls” now qualifies as a resume enhancement, Hamilton should definitely brag about the dozens of rescue greyhounds he adopted from the dog tracks in his Florida days.

As distressing and blood-boiling as it was, that was only the second most upsetting video I saw today, being surpassed only by the CCTV footage of two individuals instantly killing 44 people in Egypt yesterday.

That is an excellent editorial on the state of corporate media and the lack of “independent” journalism. However, in my ever so humble opinion I feel you’re being a bit insincere by claiming that, in a perfect world, the black hole between the NYT’s motto and all the news “would be filled by a wide variety of…

Is it safe to assume that LaVar will also act as his kids’ future agent? God help anyone that has to deal with him. I also wonder what level of corporal punishment he has dealt out to his sons over the years. Asshole...

How likely is it for ICE agents to actually ask a suspect’s neighbors about them? It seems to me that if ICE were at that point, they’d already have everything they need and wouldn’t need to harass the neighbors.

My wife and I took our daughter to WDW in December 2015, all the time wearing our MagicBands. Those damned things probably do a lot more than Disney let’s on, because late on the Wednesday evening of our stay we entered Spaceship Earth (the giant, silver testicle) and ducked under a few of the ropes near the boarding…

Thanks! Here is the story you’re referencing:

All they can do is “suggest” things to the administration. Then those suggestions are promptly ignored or dismissed as “too expensive” while administrative bloat grows ever larger.

As satisfying as that first video is to watch, unfortunately now I can’t forget that image of the probably-35-year-old douchebag with his molester facial hair, tough guy double birds, and hairy pits jumping in front of the camera making it all about him.

The other reason match-fixing is so rare in traditional sports is because athletes’ salaries are high enough to make match-fixing not worth the risk...

A Conversation with Sammy Hagar

Don’t forget that mensch Stewart Mandel, with his dumb celebrity mailbag “crushes.”

Having purchased “3 Feet High and Rising” in 1989 and “Naughty by Nature” in 1991 - both on cassette, thank you - while in high school, I consider myself to be somewhat of a hip-hop expert. In my humblest of opinions, hip-hop died when I first heard “My Name Is.”

Excellent and informative (especially for the average schlub like me) article. Your closing paragraph left me pondering what drug or painkiller regiment UFC fighters engage. Granted, NFL players and UFC fighters is certainly not an apples-to-apples comparison, but the punishment they endure must be at least as brutal.
