Ozil and Flamini have virtually nothing in common. You might as well call Ozil a glorified bowl of banana pudding. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

He didn't say, "Oliver Giroud is as good at his sport as Michael Jordan." He was using Jordan to make a point, that every athlete fails at their job sometimes. Fuming over a "Michael Jordan comparison" is disingenuous.

Jesus, not one of you people again. My theory is that all of the Ozil critics watch Arsenal games from the back of a loud pub with a tiny TV while texting on their phone the whole time.

Yea sophomore year I ended up dropping out of Engineering Physics and switching to Operations Research & Engineering, which ended up being more interesting (at least to me, after so many sleepless nights trying to calculate the magnetic flux inside a tungsten atom) and more conducive to my oafish laziness. But even…

The Clinton question certainly seems subjective to me, but I don't think that describes the test as a whole. My history teacher said that when he did the MC sections, he would usually get 1 or 2 wrong at most, and you can do much worse than that and still get a 5. I agree that some of them require process of…

I could imagine that being easier. AP Physics was extremely conceptual, meaning that if you understood it, you didn't really have to do any work. A lot of times the answer was just a formula and not a number. A Physics 101 class would probably involve more tedious calculations but require less overall knowledge, while…

+1 for bragging about test scores. AP exams are fucking easy.

AP Physics was a million times easier than Engineering school Physics classes.

In terms of college kids getting screwed, I wouldn't say that the NCAA is the worst example, that would probably be student loans (which I think John Oliver has also talked about). It's just so stupid and blatantly fucked up that, frankly, I support whatever BS sob story helps get it fixed. But I also respect college…

I think money is part of the equation, but a small one. Saying that no one would play for $0 isn't entirely true. College players do exactly that, often with no NFL prospects down the road. The demands of an professional career being even greater, it doesn't exactly facilitate having a job on the side. A better…

I think a lot of people are misinterpreting the main argument against the NCAA, which is sort of understandable in light of the Napier story. It's not that the athletes are living in squalor and wearing dirty rags to class (although I'm sure there are a few stories like Napier's). The injustice is that athletes are…

Now imagine that all three of your jobs paid you $0 an hour because of their commitment to amateurism. That is how college athletics

The issue is not HOW MUCH the players should be paid, but whether or not they are ALLOWED to be paid. The "how much" should be dictated by the market, not the NCAA. Whether or not Shabazz Napier is lying about not having enough food (a pretty dickish claim to make) has no bearing on this. If I complain that my…

Damnit, there's always one of you in the comments.

Leslie and April have to be above Tom. Not bad besides that.

In regard to various defenses of Elway stats (or lack thereof):

"4-0 with 0 INTs in Super Bowls is better than 4-2 with 2 losses to the Eli Manning-lead Giants"

The timeline of this article is actually quite confusing to me, since the first Colts game was two months ago. So when the Colts told the NFL has not been established, and it seems odd that they would wait until their rematch in the playoffs to do so. But at a minimum, the league knew about this before the game kicked…

I can't believe how often this advice is ignored. And 99% of the time it is for something totally unnecessary.

Have you actually seen The Big Lebowski?
