Maybe a close second to those “How does it feel” one on one interviews with an athlete who just won something.

Why on earth would they release that statement?

Tacheny’s struggle to decide to come forward and ‘violate’ the confessional would make an interesting movie in the right hands.

It really is. You would think the mother would be comforting the child, but if you look at their facial expressions, it’s the presence of the child that comforts the mother. The child is beyond needing comfort. She’s accepted that life is meaningless and joy is fleeting.

I’ve also had Amazon packages arrived with damaged packaging that clearly had additional, pre-shipment damage to the product. It’s obvious insurance fraud on the seller’s or distributor’s part. I wouldn’t put anything past Amazon. I’m sure they have a lot more resources to plant stories on reddit than the Post Office…

I find Deadspin a bit hypocritical in posting this article, seeing as in between the abuse starting and Maroney finally ceasing to be “a bubbly, positive, loving, world class athlete” she suffered other violations that Deadspin played a direct and aggressive role in trumpeting to the whole world. Dvora’s presumably…

But anyone who’s gone to health class at school, or who’s gone to a legit gyno, would know that someone sticking an ungloved hand in your vagina is not doing it right.

Kind of unrelated, but is anyone else worried that Trump will have the IRS go after Division 1 scholarship athletes for tax evasion? I doubt many of them report their scholarships as income, but I believe they should. Paying the taxes on the scholarship should be viewed as part of the cost of attendance.

Who knew grabbing crotches was a thing? Never heard of it before Trump’s Billy Bush tape last year. Grabbing breasts, grabbing buttocks, sure, but not crotches. That would hurt!

Do you get paid by the word?

But on Sunday afternoons, not Sunday mornings.

I’m guessing older brother talked him into it because he was jealous at little brother’s success and opportunity.

Seriously, that’s probably why he’s still alive. Best place to collapse outside of a hospital is a Division 1 NCAA sporting event.

Apparently lots of places have more employees than the US State Department these days!

Apparently there were a lot of VIPs and OSU alumni on the sidelines. Urban is grandstanding so he can insist on those freeloaders being out of there next weekend. Clearly, someone brushing into you is not the problem if you play for three quarters on your injured knee.

Dear Tiger, I know he’s not your type, but the key to a successful middle age is to never stop trying new things.

Not for no good reason. Aly Raisman was chastised subtly by USA Today and 60 Minutes for not giving more details about what Nassar did to her. So in this context, of which I’m sure Dvora is well aware, it is quite reasonable to read this as pressuring Gabby to provide more details. I don’t see how that helps anyone…

Nice try, Dvora. So glad Gabby can look forward to being exploited and manipulated by bloggers like yourself as her ‘reward’ for being abused and exploited by USAG and others.
