I thought there was no way that the video could live up to the lofty expectations of the headline. Boy, was I wrong.

I looked the game up out of curiosity and - GOOD LORD! THREE OWN GOALS?!? That's not even a joke! This actually happened! My flabber is gasted. Yikes. [www.dailymail.co.uk]

Nasty crash just now sent Jeff Gordon sliding on his side 800 feet, then flipping over four times before coming to rest on his roof. Thankfully, and especially with all the safety measures that NASCAR has now, Gordon walked away with no noticeable injuries.

If I recall correctly, the entire game film is a special feature on the anniversary edition of the Hoosiers DVD set (which is a great buy, btw).

I actually really, REALLY hope that whoever did this did it on purpose. Because that person (probably some young employee in his or her first gig) is going to be disciplined as if it were on purpose, even if it was an honest mistake.

I agree. The only people who are "successful" in a capitalist system are those who either inherited wealth (through no merit of their own), or those who used unethical (or at least not very nice) means to obtain wealth. The people who lose in a capitalist system aren't the untalented, they're the non-assholes. We

Here's hoping we one day have a Marxist in the White House. Peta would be a great choice.

Great clip, great guy. He never played for a team that I cared much about one way or the other, but I always respected him.

Here too.

This actually got a chuckle out of me, but I have no idea how the guy who sits behind him hasn't cracked the back of his (non-paper) skull yet.

Reminds me a little of this cover story from SI a generation ago that (largely incorrectly, but not totally) predicted the rise of China as the dominant force in athletics.

A nice bonus is that the AMP-like distortion effect of the video makes it appear as though the woman is actually disrupting Robinson's molecular structure when viewed in super slow-motion.

+1. This is the second time in a matter of days that I've been astonished by your powers of observation.

I'm hopeful that, within my lifetime, we'll finally reach a point where gender is a non-factor in marketing to children. Gender identity and stereotyping obviously begins with indoctrinating children. Removing the notion of "girls' toys" vs. "boys' toys" from the equation will help erase the artificial construct of

That is really, really good.

This is horrifying. The idea that a group can dictate from afar who deserves a constitutionally-protected right to counsel and who doesn't is frightening. If the message is: "Defend (people we believe to be) murders, have your lives ruined," then they must be stopped.

Great job covering this story. When politics (specifically, conservative politics) get in the way of providing poor women health care, we should all be concerned. Someone like Handel should be ineligible to serve in any organization - or hold a job, for that matter.
