I actually do have it, but I’ve never gotten anybody to play it with me. It’s basically a puzzle, so I do occasionally set it up and leave it out for a few days, solving different arrangements every now and then. It has that can’t-stop-but-not-really-having-fun type of appeal, like a bowl of almonds.

I think this was supposed to be some kind of troll/joke thingy, but maybe not. Board games suck, I guess? Not sure.

“I don’t see where the author mentioned Darwin. You did though. So that’s quite a forceful argument you’ve got going on with yourself.”
 

“I am a public figure, and that the rules are different.” Well, you set the rules.
 

Yup. Best piece I’ve ever read at Deadspin, probably.

“The main perpetrator, you know the WHITE QB teammate, is getting ready to play his 3rd season of college football. Yeah, first 2 were JC and I think his new team is kind of obscure...”

I’ve always felt this way about Ray Lewis, and still do. But there was one time when I saw another side of him—that series he did on Spike TV (if I recall) called Coaching Bad, a “reality” series about anger management, where some youth sports coaches who had problems with rage went through group therapy on camera.…

I get what you’re saying about Whitlock. I don’t get why you have to fat-shame him to say it.

Who uses Facebook for sports reporting? It’s weird, and I hate it. Great reporting, though.

“No wonder everybody hates Oregon State.” Everybody doesn’t hate Oregon State. Everybody ignores Oregon State, except in the Willamette Valley. You’re a Duck fan, if you think everybody hates Oregon State. If you’re a Duck fan, you’re just in here taking your program’s side as much as that guy; it doesn’t matter if…

“He forgot to re-register as a sex offender” you say.

“He’s been a model citizen since.” He JUST NOW failed to properly register as a sex offender. In April. So that the fucking sheriff went and fucking picked him up. This last April. Everything you just said is false. He has NOT “done what was asked.”

I’m also local, and a Beavers fan. So you’re saying that the fact that he failed, just a few months ago, to fulfill his legal obligations as a sex offender, so that the Benton County sheriff’s office had to go round him up on campus...is not worthy of a game suspension, at minimum? What do you think should happen for…

I’ve sworn off Gawker before, but I always drifted back.

A wild animal being imprisoned for reasons completely beyond its comprehension, which has learned begging behaviors, like the one it’s displaying here, that it hopes will prompt its captors to throw scraps?

Everybody’s forgetting how his interview session actually went. There was context. What happened was, he first denied it. Then some reporter said, so you’re saying those screenshots were fake? He realized he couldn’t lie as he had just done, so he tried to fix it, and when he said “I’d have to say yeah,” he really…

Every time I read this guy, it makes me want to clean up my language, because I realize how childish I must sound.

I know people who carry weapons. They’re not assholes, and they’re certainly not thugs. Are all of their weapons properly registered? Knowing this one friend of mine in particular, I doubt all of hers are. But she’s not a thug, and there’s nothing, including his misdemeanors, in this guy’s record prior to this…

Guy I did community service with had an expression for it. I “went on vacation and came back on probation.”
