Life is so much more enjoyable if you allow yourself to have some fun, I promise.

Not much to get. Just your standard off-hand behind-the-back nutmeg through a teammate’s legs on a screen.

Some of us choose not to do stuff like that in order to show some damn respect.

Something funny happens when you right click and search google for image.

“...behavior that included throwing chairs and soda cans in front of his team...”, “...berate them with profanities”.

You should watch the video because, in it, Walton actually says what is offensive about it to him. If you’re saying you can’t understand how anyone could be offended by a major program college coach trying to arrange a $100,000 under the table payment to a recruit, well, you have a different threshold for being…

Wow. Chad really “softened his look” for his trial.

Man that is messed up, and right after he shoots Richie Incognito, I really think we need to take his guns away from him.

I used an underfunded, undercoached Tibetan who still gamely represented his country at the Olympics as an example in an earlier thread. What Ms. Swaney is doing isn’t entirely harmless, because she may very well, with her crass showing at the Games, cause the federations to greatly tighten up qualification rules, and…

I’m straight up stealing this from a reddit thread from yesterday...

I’ll sleep better knowing he grew to know that it’s not okay to beat women. It’s a redemption story in the making.

Jeebus, don’t any of these guys know that isn’t how you’re supposed to behave in a workplace? You’re supposed to read Deadspin at your desk while quietly wondering what your life would have been like if you hadn’t gone to a party school.

Yeah, I wonder how many of the jabronis who comment have ever been in a competition halfpipe. They’re basically ice, the walls are vertical and about 18’ high. I’ve snowboarded since ‘91 and those things scare the hell out of me. Also, there’s a reason ski areas don’t build the damn things, they’re death traps.

“I really hate Chinese people. I hate them so much that I’m going to risk alienating the NBA’s fastest growing fan base, my current pocasting side-gig, and any future hopes at a future in media so that I can sneak this insult into a Chinese New Year greetings video that 400 people are probably going to actually watch.…

They skated like only Yuzuru Hanyu can, since he has three of those (216.07; 219.48; 223.20) 

I think, after working 30 years as a government social worker, that the usual legal adversarial model should not be applied to abuse cases. The normal defence tactic of attacking the victim is not appropriate in these situations and a more sensitive, subtle approach is needed. Our legal system evolved from the…

Jury-rigged is the correct term. It has a nautical origin. If your mast went “by the boards”, i.e. broke off at the deck or shortly above it, you could rig a jury mast. You would jury rig it. Why jury? I don’t know.

I mean, there is a racist origin inasmuch as the word’s etymology is an intentional slur against Bulgarians, but the heresy of Bogomilism out of Bulgaria that preoccupied Europe from the 10th to 15th centuries has become so obscure as to be virtually forgotten. Its later incarnation as a manifestation of homophobia…

yup. all Koreans are villains.
