Seriously? They say the name of his coach like every 5 minutes on the broadcast ... Bob Bowman gets a ton of press for his work with Michael and his role in Michael’s life out of the pool. (And I actually agree with the overarching point of the article.)

I just made the same comment. Cycling is the only sport where I have noticed the use of “boys.”

Actually, watching the Tour de France coverage the announcers called the riders “boys” all the time. Then, watching the women’s Olympic road race, Christian Vande Velde (also part of the Tour coverage team) started to call the women riders “girls” but caught himself and switched to women. I would have actually…

Thanks! Hugs for you too!

I am in the same boat, but I know we would terminate the pregnancy. (I can’t imagine how hard it is to add a layer of indecision to it. At least I have the comfort of knowing what we would do!) I am just afraid we will find out too late due to the inaccuracy of ultrasounds and the lack of information on when…

This is what terrifies me! Even if you do get the horrible news that your fetus has Zika, you might have a very hard time terminating the pregnancy. Almost all states have a limit on how late you can get an abortion. (For example, Illinois is 24. weeks). Even in states with no limit, only a few doctors in the country…

This is completely wrong. First, most strokes only have 2 distances: 100M and 200M. There are 2 IM distances (200 and 400). Freestyle has several distances: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500. BUT, literally no one ever has excelled in as many strokes at as many distances as Michael Phelps. Like Rowdy said last night, most…

What is deeply unsettling is that even though, yes, we still have a right to abortion in this country, actually getting one when you discover your fetus is microcephalic might be nearly impossible. Almost all states have a limit on how late you can get an abortion. (For example, Illinois is 24. weeks). Even in states…

She was on Bill Simmons show this week touting the plusses of the Republican party. I spent most of the piece yelling at the TV calling her a moron. I understand that people can have different political beliefs, but at least state the party’s platform correctly!! Caitlyn supports an imaginary Republican party that…

It seems like NBC’s process in selecting this song was as messed up as the IOC’s process for selecting Rio. Like seriously? This is what we get? More shit?

Yes, nothing is this song gets me in my gut or my heart. I neither feel like I should be pouring sweat in the gym or crying like Kerry Strug just landed her last vault. I feel nothing from this song.

I am Polish and my in-laws are all from (born and raised in) Poland (although my husband and his siblings were born here). I have never seen this dish, thank God! Borscht is bad enough. I do not have the inherited love of beets that my in-laws all have. If cherry soup ever shows up at an event I might have to file for…

Yes I think the biting comments used to be humorous because, as Jill said, Bethenny was an underdog. She had no money, no power (socially or on the show) and nothing to lord over anyone else. So no one cared if Bethenny mocked them in a talking head or called them a snake to their face. Now, it seems like she is…

I am fascinated at how they can be screaming at each other one minute and then laughing together two minutes later. It’s like this schtick is such old hat to them that nothing registers anymore. Ramona couldn’t even stay mad long enough to pass up eggs.

I agree. My husband - who claims to hate all housewives shows but somehow ends up with opinions on every fight - (allegedly) reluctantly watched the Luanne special with me and was amazed at how she has been able to parlay her relationships with men into life successes. He admitted that while that is not something he…

Ugh so many typos in that. *hangs head in shame*

I don’t see how Sonja is trying to keep it classy. She has said some really shitty stuff about Lu (albeit off camera), repeatedly brings up that she used to fuck Tom, and came to the engagement party dressed like a poor man’s Elizabeth Hurley circa 1994. None of that screams “classy” or “high road” to me...but at…

Yes, I am amazed by how quickly it went from FWB for 10 years (allegedly) to her “lover, friend and dinner date” who she now apparently pines for. I also don’t believe a damn word out of Sonja’s mouth. This is the same woman who “partied with Madonna and John John Kennedy ALL THE TIME!” and has a Nigerian soccer team…

I am actually a Bethanny fan. I think she is biting, witty (albeit is a slightly dated way, which also amuses me), and knows what makes good TV. That being said, even I think there is too much Beth with too much power this season. Part of these shows chemistry is the primal hunter or prey element. Beth can never be…

I want to see receipts on how many times they hooked up over the last 10 years. Was it once a week? Twice in the whole decade? It could be anything! Lu’s braying gloating is annoying and over the top, but Sonja’s sour grapes and losing a potential wallet are worse. She has said some really shitty stuff. People think…
