Some of them sound like Forrest Gump; most of them don't. If your only exposure is the collective of idiots who love to be interviewed on television, then yes... but otherwise, thank God, no.

I think it's more that people like Reilly write well, realize people read what they're writing, and then decide their opinions on other things have some weight when they really don't. Rick Reilly can fuck straight off a cliff.

I'm not usually a fan of Olbermann but "IT'S CREEPIER THAN HELL" gets a big hallelujah from me.

Yup. We got bare butt belt spankings, and while I turned out okay, I distinctly remember that it was never the spankings that got me to change my behavior, it was the fear of disappointing my parents or making them upset with me. The spankings didn't do a damn thing.

Ah! I see you responded. I totally read it the way you meant it and it didn't cause any alarm here. I also ended up married to a guy I insisted was just a fling. Whoops. I suck at this fling thing.

I read that as meaning we take sex too seriously, even consensual sex. (Meaning it's reasonable to take sex of questionable consent REALLY seriously, but not reasonable to take nice, normal sex so seriously.)

A friend of mind had the gall— the GALL— to post about her blood sugar while pregnant and mentioned her daily Coca-Cola, and some idjit started berating her in the comments for drinking Coke while pregnant.

You mean like above, where people are making remarks about how it's no surprise that she's not hiding this scenario because

What you are talking about is journalism, not patriarchy, feminism, respecting someone as an individual, or anyfuckingthing else. And if you want to take up that mantle, fine. Take it up. My guess is that the video exposed the whole truth behind the matter and it was worse than everyone had assumed based on the…

Do you actually think anyone's buying this? Like... for real?

So let's say you work for a huge, multi-billion dollar company that sells consumer goods and has a very high-profile, public presence. You're one of the faces of the company. Everyone knows you, you're a superstar. And one day, under your real name, you— and the only reason anyone knows you or sees this is because…

You still haven't described how I have declared her wishes null and void. Ultimately, her wishes don't dictate the NFL, because she is not what makes the NFL money. The fans are. And if we the fans choose to find him to be a piece of shit even if she doesn't, then the NFL gets to make a decision on whether or not…

How am I treating her like property? I said she has every right to stay with him if she so chooses. However, her consent does not absolve him of wrongdoing any more than the consent of someone who's into being cooked and eaten would make the cooker and eater any less wrong. I mean, I realize you're a troll, but…

Just because someone chooses something doesn't mean it's the best something, the right something, a normal something or a good something. She has every right to stay with him if that's what she chooses. We have every right to still find him a vile piece of shit if we so choose. And regardless of whether or not her…

You realize that there is no such thing as "these women"? Anyone, male or female, mentally stable or no, healthy upbringing or no, regardless of social class, race or demographic, can find themselves the victim in an abusive relationship.

A few things. One: pubic outrage and public outrage are two vastly different things. Not to go all nitpicky, but that's a pretty big missing letter.

Grandma, is that you? It looks like your capslock.

Yeah, I've wondered that, too. Either they saw the video and didn't care, saw part of the video and let Rice's statement color their viewing of it, or they didn't see the video and lied about seeing it to make their punishment seem more credible. In any of those scenarios, did NO ONE think it would ever be shown?

You mean Tim McGraw slapping someone who was scrabbling at his junk? I don't like the guy, but if someone grabs my genitals, they're getting hit.

In my dreams, that happens, but when Stephen goes to high five him, Ray chooses to "defend himself."
