He took a deep breath and exhaled. He thought back to the calming words he learned. Barely audibly, he recited the mantra:

Sales/popularity matter to the Grammys, like it or not; Bieber was huge at that point, and all the chatter leading up to the ceremony that year was him vs. Drake. To pick somebody largely unknown to fans of both camps seemed like pretty explicit trolling. JB's fans didn't take it well.

Bird shot an absurd 81.8 percent from the field

Richardson remained hopeful that things would work out for him, whereas the Colts stood by their initial request that he do the workouts himself.

There's no indication Jenner was rear-ended. The woman who hit you, would be the one responsible for the incident and the subsequent aftermath. This is also why the whole...the paparazzi caused the accident thing doesn't fly with me. If the paparazzi were ramming your car, you have a legitimate excuse but in most of…

There's pretty much no possible excuse for rear-ending someone. It all falls to driver inattention in one form or another. Because of Jenner, a woman is dead. He'll need to take responsibility for it.

In 1969, Charlie Scott lost the ACC player of the year award to John Roche (white) of South Carolina. Further, five writers left Scott off their all-ACC ballots entirely. Smith went after them directly, saying the choice was borne of bigotry (or ignorance, but we know what was really the case.)

Thanks for this, I and most others had no idea what this was in reference to.

It was neither a mistake nor an oversight. The murders fell under the jurisdiction of the State police, who filed all of the reports in that case. The listing was about crimes the individual local jurisdictions throughout the state had filed.

In case anybody missed it, the FBI released data on the number of crimes in the US in 2012. For Newtown, CT the number of murders is listed as 0. Rather than a mistake or oversight, the tinfoil hat brigade have taken this to mean the FBI is admitting Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Is that a No More Wife Beater?

And what's the benefit of the NFL going with a cipher of a branding scheme, rather than with an actual nonprofit that does work or raises money? Seems pretty obvious: No More allows the NFL almost complete freedom to brand itself as deeply invested in women's issues.

Why is Jimmy Fallon fiddling and half-assedly gesturing with a book throughout this entire sketch? It looks like his first night at an improv class. It's amazing that he was ever on SNL.

as for the missing 2 members, one of them has been rotting away due to poor life choices... And Dustin Diamond is in jail

The fact Elizabeth Berkley looks EXACTLY the same as she did 22 years ago in that outfit is stunning.

Wow. He really did know that throw was coming from a mile away. He runs straight to the ball after the snap. No hesitation.

I like artists to "make the song their own," but that was just annoying, drawn out, and amateurish.

She's an exceptionally gifted singer but the arrangement was a little too high-school-talent-show for my taste.

What did you guys think of the anthem last night? I liked it a lot, but apparently there was a lot of hate online.
