Regardless of whether Jay is a colleage of yours or not, I think you may want to both recheck the facts of the outcome and read the article yourself. The end of the first paragraph reads “They found him not guilty on battery with intent to commit sexual assault, coercion sexually motivated, and burglary with a deadly…

So... what defense was used to get off of the charges he wasn’t found guilty of? A knife seems to be a deadly weapon to me, the rape fetish defense didn’t actually work for those did it?

Jason Mewes is looking a little jaded these days.

As I say elsewhere here this is an absolute extreme example and in no way the norm. But as you say it is amateur cycling, it’s shitty to think about not even in what is equivalent to beer league softball you have people considering that as understandable behavior.

Talking about being cat 4 or cat 3 rider vs cat 1 racers is a closer comparison to being a Friday night racer vs a Nascar driver than it is to Div I or II vs. The NFL. It’s approaching the point if you want to compete at the participation award level (cat 4 only means you have raced 10 times) you are riding against…

You don’t have to start as early in football with all that stuff. Just a few weeks ago I heard a cat 4 talking about trying to find someone to help them develop and fulfill a regimen just so he could make cat 3. Thats like getting out of pee-wee and starting PEDS so that you make your middle school team. Even…

Cycling: the only sport where “but I’m not good enough without cheating” is a noble excuse.

Can some one please explain to me how Clint Frazier’s hair considered a distraction, but whatever the hell that is resting on Randy Lavine’s head is considered presentable?

“If you didn’t play SHUT UP” about every athlete to journalists.

Whelp. It was fun Le Batard. Here comes Gotz and Golic to a Facebook stream near you.

You misunderstand PETA’s position. They weren’t mad the incident happened, they are mad that the zoo didn’t proceed to euthanize them in the back of a van in a parking lot to save the traumatized animals from any more stress.

First off, there isn’t much for men outside of high school or college for wrestling either. The closest open tournament to myself was three hours away, and only 12 within an 8 hour radius. Wresting isn’t even an Olympic sport anymore. Where are these opportunities for boys outside of the school systems that don’t…

My buddy (high 140s natural bodyweight) lost the varsity spot of 152 and our 145 was a state champ... so he filled the team’s void at 160. He ended up trying to do a swimmer’s diet and all the other weight gain stuff and still never got within 5 lbs. He did that for 2 years, his record was awful but he ended up being…

To be fair she said artists, it’s still not a true statement, but a bit less pretentious  than if she had claimed it was only actors who achieved that.

I’m not disagreeing with the sentiment that the people he is competing against are getting screwed, but come on, “likely all she will have in her life is the win in high school”? Let’s not cheapen the value of these girls lives to assume that their peak is in a stinky gym before they turn 18.

This is operating off of the idea that people are just deciding to be trans. A person is trans because that is who they are, not to win a high school state title.

Ugh, I didn’t realize that’s how they are handling it in the NCAA too. If anything in a sport who’s top level is the college level and is losing participants every year you would think they would put a little more nuance on it than they do with sports that feed into pro leagues.

With all the extra shit the female on my wrestling team in high school went through by being surrounded by ignorant teenage dudes, I can’t imagine what this kid has to deal with. Between the unhealthy weight management strategies and being a sport that isn’t friendly to ever not going all out 100% of the time…

That’s the point, he doesn’t want to wrestle girls, girls don’t want to wrestle him, and the UIL is saying that the situation created by their rules that require him to wrestle as a girl and upsets everyone except the UIL isn’t their problem.

I always here triage is why the emergency room takes so long, but every time I or my accident prone family ends up in the hospital we sit at least three hours waiting to even get into triage, with at least 20 minutes in between people being assessed. Is this just proof my local hospital is crap or is there another…
