Without knowing the writer at all, I got the impression it was intentionally disjointed. I found it an interesting reflection of how disjointed it is to come to terms with a loss, how small, seemingly unrelated steps and events play into acceptance in one's heart for those passed on.

Lets not forget that the coach can take away your scholarship at any time and leave you hanging in the breeze entirely at his discretion. If the program doesn't need you anymore, you're out and with it your education and everything else. Sure if a kid quits than he isn't probably shouldn't be entitled to anything,…

160 years ago he would be telling you that his slaves get a roof over their heads, free meals, the dignity of hard work, and that it's a pretty good deal for them.

The health care thing is one of the worst parts about the NCAA. Health care coverage can stop the moment you are off the team. Sure, the occasional school will keep paying for a paralyzed player now and then, but not because they have to. If only there was some system where the people working for the University…

Calm down bro, and try and use civil language.

But then you wouldn't get another chance to defend Jameis Winston and tell us all how there's nothing to see here and we should move along.

In response to what Aaron said, people sent racist hate mail. How can you try to argue that the racist hate mail doesn't correspond to racism? Of course you can have ideological differences about politics. That's a fucking given. But, in this case, the backlash is absolutely racial — otherwise, I'd love to know…

Yes, all critics of our nation's first black President are racists.

I love it when people bring this up because you know Hank Aaron isn't talking about the people with actual gripes about the President's performance.

Joe is sitting in his lair saying, "I have found The One."

You're a stupid dick.

You mean Gawker, the for-profit company that lets some cheesehole like you spew your all-or-nothing bullshit about them on their own website?

That's only because they're not available. You show me a Throwback Petchesky and I'll show you me wearing it.

interns to a media company not the same as players to college sports. Nobody's selling an intern replica jersey in the Gawker gift shop.

I feel like it's probably in the bylaws that someone has to say that, so it's just as well to get it out of the way.

It seems to be an unsettling trend. Wasn't that way when I pledged. We were just the fun party girls who everyone liked to hang out with. Now, and this is not just with my sorority, but it seems with many Greek organizations that humiliation, degradation, bigotry and a host of isms are woven into the fiber of their…

Forget about A-Rod. Limp Bizkit should be the ones taking notes on how to gain respectability back after ruining Faith.

Nope! An eternity of free video porn would have no effect on the sales of a nudie mag that yoy have to subscribe to that gets delivered to your house once a month. Its solely because of the looks of a handful of women. Wheres his tweet saying newspapers are dying because shaughnasessy is a busted ass old man?

Someone might want to tell him that there is this thing called the internet (which caters quite well to pornography needs) that was invented between 1975 and now that might account for the decline in Playboy's publication numbers.

So we hate the ones that are here illegally and the ones that are here legally? This is all getting very confusing. And stupid. And pointless. #mebkeflezighi
