As a Panthers fan, I applaud this post.

You’re reading way too much into this. This is just a bullet summary of expectations for how the staff interacts with spouses as it relates to matters affecting the program. Yes, the choice of words is inartful, but the audience is limited to the staff and they will all understand what it means, which is the only…
When the team members entered the police station to file their report, the desk sergeant said, “Hey, why the long faces?”
NBC is not the only institution whose judgment should be called into question, but Savannah and Hoda didn’t have to sit there and pretend to be serious one second and then giggle and laugh with him the next. If they really felt strongly about this issue, they would have told their producer that they’re not sharing a…
It sounds as though he’s complying with the terms of the agreement with the county. What do you expect him to do? He has limited partners to whom he owes a duty to maximize the distributable income from the sale of the team. Is there a legitimate claim that Loria is in breach of the agreement?
I’m surprised it took this long for a father to make noise in that courtroom. You’d have a hard time keeping me from trying to crack a chair over his head.
“$40 grand for one shot? Now THAT’s a money shot in my book.”
Fox Sports has covered this story on its website. You’re sort of inventing a reason to be upset. Are you trying to suggest that they’re consciously avoiding covering the story on television because it highlights the strength of abused women? Seriously?
I thought it was Bill Clinton who was rumored to have had a fling with Markie Post.
A beautifully written piece.
“Sell out”? Seriously? More like realize that it’s not in anyone’s interest for a shutdown to continue, and (correctly) that immigrant status under DACA has nothing to do with continuing to fund the business of the federal government.
I believe he was able to persuade the powers-that-be in gymnastics that the success of the US team was attributable in no small part to his treatment, and they just bought it.
Sorry, phrase, whatever, but that’s not the point—the point is just my opinion that capturing the power and significance of this event should require more of a journalist than the trite verbal equivalent of a high-five. Doesn’t lessen the impact, but this shouldn’t be encapsulated by a pop culture reference. Again,…
I think the title of this post (referencing an overused meme) trivializes the power and courage displayed by Aly Raisman (and so many other victims), not only in confronting an abuser but in challenging the power structure in no uncertain terms and promising to hold accountable everyone who so much as looked the other…
If the internet had existed (outside of Al Gore’s brain) in 1992, you would absolutely have heard about Juanita Broaddrick’s claim of rape by Bill Clinton, which was well known in Arkansas political circles and in Washington, but in those days the media could still be enticed not to go public (same for his various…
This is so profoundly heartbreaking. How can this be stopped?
With Keith Jackson on the call. Could it ever be any better?
Yes, it’s delightful watching Bagley, who somehow managed to cram an entire YEAR of high school classes into his summer schedule (in which he was constantly flying all over the country playing AAU ball), and was then magically admitted to one of the most competitive universities in the country just days before the…
The classes at UNC were independent studies that required a 20 to 25 page paper that was leniently graded (mostly A’s and B’s). All independent studies are, by definition, “no-show” classes, which was a term invented by the Raleigh News & Observer to mislead readers into thinking there were completely phony classes.…
If all the people around Calvin behaved as we would want them to in real life, it wouldn’t be worth reading. This is a comic strip. It’s supposed to be funny. I’m sorry—-I’ve spent hours laughing my head off at these strips. Did I miss the memo where I’m supposed to be upset at the behavior of the characters and upset…
