This is something that should have become clear during the 2016 election, when the phrase “fake news” meant “untrue articles on Facebook” for all of five seconds before Trump popularized it as an insult used to discredit any critical coverage of him. By using a previously undefined term like “fake news” instead of…

meanwhile the Orlando Magic are circumventing the salary cap and screwing their first-round pick to deafening silence from the league

The “Truth-Default Theory” may be useful in explaining Gladwell’s sales numbers. People see a book and assume it must be worth reading, and then can’t admit they wasted their time when it turns out to be shit.

Add to that McQueary was legitimately afraid of not only losing his job but also his entire career. If he was blackballed by Penn State, may as well go get that teaching certificate. Telling Paterno was a huge risk on his part. Completely agree that Gladwell is the lowest form of life for rehashing a settled matter,…

McQueary respected Sandusky as a football coach and seeing him rape a child was outside of what he expected. So…

trust me, there are way worse ways to misspell his name.

Welcome to America in 2019, where Arians claim to be helping a Gay but really just want to set them further back.

It isn’t wise to inject anything that passed through Tampa, not without a full decontamination cycle.

“World of Suck, you say? Guess I’m done visiting Orchids of Asia.”

   Things are tough for the Broncos when their GM is their biggest neigh-sayer.

Yes, but in the fine tradition of Baltimore quarterbacks, let's spend the next decade arguing about whether or not Lamar Jackson is elite.
