She wasn’t actually comparing her struggle to that of MLK. She was making the comparison in an ironic way, drawing attention to the pettiness of her complaints.

On my high school basketball team, we were teammates and friends. These are people you spend many hours a week with. Why would you want to traumatize them? Why would you want them to hate you? Who messed up along the way to let it get this bad? This whole thing makes me sick.

I could have written the comment above almost verbatim. HD football — particularly HD college football — is pretty much what keeps me from cutting the cord. And, yes, my wife is also addicted to HGTV. :-)

This probably didn’t help:

He didn’t harm the ref but officials, no matter how displeased one is with a call, must be treated as hands-off at all times, ESPECIALLY as retaliation for a call. This is why just about every sport brings a hammer when it comes to this sort of thing, they must protect all refs in these types of cases to prevent…

Mike Milligan(Fargo, this season) put it best. Theyre polite, but theyre far from nice.

Exactly! The correct response - if you’re white - to “Black lives matter” is to say “Yes. Yes, they do” not “BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?!?”

Perhaps it’s because a friendly police department may have deleted things that are part of the public record, which is against the law.

ill preface this comment by saying i was born and raised in Massachusetts (spent 25 yeas in Boston and the South Shore.). This has to be the first time ever that the police have covered up for a black guy.

Not to be too harsh, but Henry didn’t deserve the Heisman. Watson and McAffrey are both far better football players, Henry was a big back who got the ball 30 times a game and he’s far from being the best player on his own team.

Nobody outside the hash for Clemson on this play and then on the KO returned for a TD, Clemson had everyone bunched together on the kickoff only to let Drake get the edge. Incredibly poor ST play by Clemson.

there’s “dirty” (Vontaze Burfict comes to mind here) and then there is sleazy (coaches pulling hair, coaches coming onto the field to start shit, coaches trying to trip kick returners)

Its not uncommon for players to lose their composure and lack maturity, but the Steelers’ coaching staff has to be one of the most…

Along with the Gary Anderson miss in ‘98, and the Favre INT in ‘09, the Vikings certainly are bewitched.

Seriously? Has Russell Wilson’s faith ever hurt anyone? I mean, if that’s going to be your criteria for deciding who to root for, I think the choice between a guy who beats a child and a guy who is a little too pious is pretty easy...

Nice to bring to our attention Pat. Thanks. I still don’t understand why they aren’t being paid. With the way they get treated and handled, it is just like they have a job. If it was more recreational and not mandatory to be at these things, I could understand the argument that they are students first, unpaid athletes…

Yeah, nothing says true love more than declaring yourself the better singer before the contest and being a sore loser looking for excuses afterwards, denying your spouse a little bit of happiness in the spotlight. If she can’t be happy for the father of her child, what does that say about her? Btw, he’s a much better…

Damn it. The more I think about issues like this, the more I’m unsure of who to blame. Do I label AP a horrible person for exhibiting behavior that was obviously passed down? Do I pass the blame upwards to his parents, or their parents, WHO DO I BLAME? I have the same struggle with racism/sexism that is influenced by…

I do not doubt that Jordan is the world’s biggest Celine Dion fan.

Ehh I was all ready to agree with that, until I watched the clip. He was obviously much better than her and much more compelling. I think it was more that she wasn’t a strong enough performer to hold their attention against the baby and husband.

i think the defense’s theory was that someone killed/burned her somewhere off the avery property and then dumped her remains & car there, presumably with the knowledge that steven would be the primary suspect
