I'm so confused right now, Burt.

And of course she went/goes to my school (UNC). After the last few years, I'm scoring this one a "favorable" media mention. Looks like the intellectual curiosity she developed in those paper classes is serving her well.

The difference between 3-4-5-6 was razor thin... more like 3a-3b-3c-3d. Three of those teams beat top 15 programs yesterday. One of them beat 2-10 Iowa State.

In OU's defense, I think when you're punting from the other team's 40 and you know the ball is either going inside the 10 or in the end zone, with plenty of time for your coverage to get downfield, you can reasonably assume that it won't be returnable. The coverage obviously failed miserably, but I'd argue it was the…

In general, I disagree. I've never been murdered, or falsely accused of murder, yet I'm pretty confident the former would be more damaging. I suppose you could imagine a scenario where the false accusation victim is sentenced to many, many years in prison, and is assaulted him/herself during that time. But that's…

I have neither been murdered nor been falsely accused of murder. I still feel pretty confident in my ability to form an opinion of which would be more damaging.

I don't think anyone is arguing that false accusations aren't a really bad thing. Now if you think being falsely accused (or even convicted, taking into account the typical punishment) is as bad or worse than being raped, you're obviously off your rocker. But you haven't said that, so I'll give you the benefit of the…

Yeah, you really just poked a hole in Mike's argument that Winston should be found guilty in a court of law. Oh wait, that's not what anyone is arguing. We already know Winston won't be found guilty in court. The discussion at this point is about how we (the public, who aren't compelled to maintain the same standards…

Statistical evidence > anecdotal evidence

As a shark attack survivor, I stand with you. Damn these liberal academics, marginalizing my experience with their "statistics."

As a degenerate gambler that got on the bandwagon of GSU's incredible run against the spread this year, I applaud your alma mater. I'd have loved the chance to back them one more time in some bullshit bowl game.

Three questions:

So declaring yourself a fan of a school you have no personal connection to is less weird than declaring yourself a fan of your alma mater?

Cool, thanks. Interesting that one of the first teams in line in that scenario is any team making the move from FCS to FBS with at least a 6-6 record. So clearly this rule isn't that important to the NCAA if they're willing to waive it to make sure we get two teams on the field for the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl (a real…

Kind of a tangential question, but what would happen if there weren't 76 bowl eligible teams? Surely that's a possibility, since it was so close this year. It doesn't seem like they could cut a bowl game at the last minute, given that the preparation and fundraising is a year-long process. Would a 5-7 team get slotted…

Come on, this is a not-for-profit organization that has ensured the physical, intellectual, and moral development of generations of student-athletes. They have to find some way to keep the lights on in Indianapolis and keep Mark Emmert off food stamps.

This isn't really about King, but the "nothing physical in their relationship had ever happened before or since" thing really gets to me. She says in her ESPN interview that, earlier in the evening, she had tried to to look at Ray's phone and he had responded by spitting on her. The way she says it, it's like it's…

Strunk & White should be required reading for any job/class that requires any writing whatsoever.

I don't agree with any of that, except for one bit. I'd love to see where Peterson has said that he's "willing to learn." Everything he's posted on Twitter has suggested the exact opposite.
