Aren't they accounting for delayed/time-shifted viewing in ratings now? Like within 24-72 hours of original broadcast...

My mom wanted to name me "Sterling". Knowing that made me more grateful for my father's judgement.

Not exactly social media, but while doing some genealogy research online, I happened upon some information on my cousin.

Interesting theory, but not provable due to the lack of three-yard runs. Unless negative three yards count.

How you doin'?

you've had an interesting life.

To summarize: Apparently she was trying to make funny by linking "showering more than necessary" to "white privilege" and didn't articulate herself very elegantly?

I wouldn't accuse Margaret Cho of being racist for Margaret Cho's character at the Globes. I might, however, accuse others involved with the broadcast and routine of being exploitive for including it. Cho was a willing participant and is a prominent enough comedienne that she didn't feel pressured into doing something…

Just because he's a good writer and likes sports doesn't mean he's a good sportswriter/columnist. I'd rather hear his take on just about any other topic.

I feel for both TCU and Baylor. But they made a choice and that choice had consequences. They both chose to stick with a conference that didn't qualify to hold a Conference Championship Game. I know what was in it for Texas, but what was in it for everyone else in the Big 12?

So now that we've established "playoff good" how long is it contractually locked into being just four teams? When can it expand? First to six, then to eight...

My comment when I saw it was, "it may be nice to recognize things that way locally, but it's really shitty to use it in a commercial and pat yourselves on the back for it."

This is funny because the person was so obviously lacking in culture.

Bingo. Be an adult - what's so scary about telling the waitstaff "I don't eat tomatoes or onions, so leave those off... I won't eat them."

"lesser rape" is what happens to someone else...

Thanks, but no need for anyone to apologize to me on this topic. I had a minor bad experience that was brought to my attention in a very tactful/non-confrontational way, I took it very seriously, didn't get defensive about it and turned out to be a better person for doing so. Better to learn a lesson that way than to…

No idea - maybe it's a question of different degrees?

I feel ya'. There's enough variation from person-to-person on what constitutes a gray area vs. a hard and fast line not to be crossed. And what's cool with a casual hook-up friend vs. needing to be in a relationship, etc. It's all so individualized. I think it's healthy to have conversations, without raised voices and…

Give him a neckbeard and he's practically Andrew Luck.

That's what we like to call a pyrrhic victory.
