Ileana Lochte: “Honey don’t you think you should make a statement about what occurred in Brazil?”

Nah, wouldn’t have cleared the fence at Wrigley.

“I have to admit, it was awkward and exhilarating at the same time”

Looks like he shot it out of a Bazooka.

This is off topic but it will probably get buried elsewhere but I just want to express my sadness about Gawker. While I haven't always agreed with every editorial decision, there are some supremely talented people here and I've loved reading and learning from those and crucially the commenters. Genuinely so many of my…

Something about this story doesn’t smell right. I mean, Lochte is no whiz kid, but how is “they were asked to use the bathroom” where this story starts? Something pissed off either the gas station or the swimmers before that. And then why leak the robbery story? Did someone text them “ur in trouble” and they did that…

And now police say the other teammates confessed the story was fabricated. I just don’t understand. How did this happen? So many stars given out yesterday over the commentariat CONVINCED this was just a corrupt force trying to cover their asses! I trusted them!

They look like two friends going for a run, having a funny conversation along the way, while everyone else is trying to catch up.

The first. The latter is perfectly fair, provided she’s naturally producing the testosterone.

This was mid-to-late 90's. Kind of the hey day for Wicker Park.

I’ve never been robbed here in Chicago. I’ve been here since 06. I don’t drive either.

Man, fuck that Osco. I used to rely on it, but now I’m all about Tony’s on Kimball.

I had a shotgun pointed at me along with my friends at a pizza party when I was 10. After it happened we finished the pizza party without really worrying about it but I had bad nightmares for weeks afterwards. Still can clearly picture what happened and scares me.

walter are you calling a two-time olympian and d-1 track star an fuckin amateur?

I love the Olympics, if only because people write stories about my sport.

I was rooting for Allyson Felix, but was very happy for Miller. I love seeing someone give it their all and succeed. There’s no controversy.

As People reports, an enduring myth that period blood contaminates water leads to warnings against women swimming while menstruating. In fact, some Chinese viewers argued that Fu must have lied about having her period. Swimming with it, they reasoned, would have been impossible. But these reactions only manifest old,…

I remember when Bears fans liked him for two years. That 2010 NFC Championship game injury was the first and last straw for some (rightly or wrongly), and the inconsistency and lack of improvement over the last six years have been slowly braking the camel’s back. Bears fans are basically in a routine, sexless marriage…

So basically what you are saying is that you’re OK with grown-ass men running and launching their bodies, led by a polycarbonate shell, into another human being, simply because they don’t have the self-discipline to contain their rage?
