"...piggy poop balls."

It seems to be the unpopular opinion, but I agree that it is just unnecessarily cruel. I've spent my entire professional career in colleges and universities (not in athletics) so maybe I am a bit protective of college athletes. This just seems like senseless humiliation for someone who Deadspin would usually point…

See, if he simply played tight end, this wouldn't be an issue...

There are 136 replies to this. Please tell me that I'm not the only one suggesting that we maybe act like human beings and not make fun of a 20 year old kid who had something hideously embarrassing happen to him on television? Maybe? Just this once?

Still feels weird to name a kid with trisomy 21 "Trig."

I already dislike Palin so much, this post barely phased me. Like, of course she would do this.

I'll work on my empathy, and you work on your sarcasm!

Have a good night!

Hi! Fellow orgasmer here. You really did give the best advice for experiencing an orgasm. FREE YOUR MIND! Or at least clear it. When I'm thinking about stuff, even the sex I'm having, it's very hard/near impossible for me to reach my O. But when my mind's clear and I'm on top, the O is basically guaranteed.

You really can't imagine yourself being a giraffe?? I could! Free your mind, and the rest will follow! Also, my holiday wish for you is multiple O's. I think that's why I look 10 years younger than I actually am. ;-)

We have the same approach, then- I was unfailingly polite and expressed myself well, that whole stupid weekend when I was defending myself against attack after misquoted attack. And that meant some of the dogpilers were mocking me for "having to have the last word" when in fact, all I wanted to do was point out that…

Oh, it's true about dissent. And should a commenter dare express an unpopular opinion, the resulting pile-on of opprobrium is like watching sharks swarm a bucket of bait. Anything to do with marriage and adultery seem to bring out the frothiest angerfests: I've been on the wrong end of one once, and have offered…

Co-signed. I remember the great early commenters on Jezebel who all left at once, and took a lot of the spice with them. Damn, I'm old.

Yes, and even to someone as well known a commenter as you, apparently. I once took polite issue with an incongruency in a Jez post, got a snotty response from the author, had several other commenters support my position, and... I'll be in the greys forever, most likely.

Or to Rich Juzwiak.

but now in Canada all the Immigrants are trying to get Merry Christmas replaced with Happy Holidays

Keep in mind another factor. The chattering classes had been claiming that war had become so terrible and Europe's economies so inter-linked that no war would last more than a few months. Many of these soldiers had enlisted and gone to war after being told that they'd be home by Christmas. That had proved a cruel lie.

Humanity also occurred during WWII.

Those facts really happened. My Grandfather Alfredo was 18 y.o. in 1917 and was guarding the Italian trenches in one cold, damp and foggy winter night. Too bad that he had a 39° fever and was quite disconnected, so that when he ended his shift and he had to return to his platoon, he mistook his path and ended in the…
