There is no 18-14 team that “got fucked.” A team like that could be put in or could not be put in. It is the luck of the draw. Syracuse is not materially better than Providence or USC.

This is such a bullshit take.

So you just contradicted yourself. You say he’s done more with less, which indicates that he is not a good recruiter. Then you say what recruit wouldn’t want to go to Syracuse due to his record. Can’t have it both ways.

He has Belichickian levels of press-conference joy

Are you absolutely sure, sir?

We should all be so happy in life, regardless of our skill level.

I trouble anyone to find something bad to say about John Wooden.

John Calipari. He has his many faults but makes no bones about being the conduit for those kids to move onto more lucrative endeavors. It’s like a one year unpaid internship. And thus, he is a dick, but not an asshole.

I choose to believe the committee left Syracuse out because Boeheim is a tremendous asshole, even by the NCAA’s standards.

The receiver caught the ball, took two steps and was moving forward in a football motion when Poochie McCutesypants laid him out.

I don’t know. Neither one of those dogs looked like a “Spot” to me.

Nah, this is wrong. The receiver established possession and turned upfield. Play call is upheld, first down dog. However he’s getting a $25k fine for taunting.

This is a Good Dog and that was a catch, hit, and fumble. That kid is never going to make it as a wide receiver or tight end if he can’t hold on to the ball.

Gisele: “Well you can’t expect him to throw and catch!”

Does anybody have good, healthy, positive associations with growing up in a religious family? I feel a solidarity with other people who grew up Catholic, but for the most part we are talking shit about how messed up it was. I'm not saying that every Catholic is terrible, it really needs to be something you choose as…

Yes — the old correlation vs causation issue. This is probably more likely indicative of parents who're generally open minded, educated, empathetic, and adept critical thinkers; it doesn't necessarily mean that atheism/humanism/secularism is the cause of those other desirable traits.

I had atheist parents too - so there are at least two of us!

Exposing children to religion not only makes them have a harder time to tell the difference between fiction and reality, but the constant prejudice in common religious practice just makes underdeveloped minds adopt a "holier than thou, and thou, and also thou" mentality even after post puberty. Every day education…

"Overall, not believing in God seems to make people and their offspring more tolerant. Less racist. Less sexist. Enviro-friendly."
