No matter what one thinks of Maxim, it had an audience. A huge audience. An audience that had declared for a particular type of content. (Frankly, hot, skinny women have always sold the shit out of magazines, especially those marketed to women.) An audience that was unashamed of its preferences. And so, even as print…

It probably has 3000 miles on it.

We have no shot, because our youngsters just don't play against the same level of talent day in and out. We have no analogue for the competition in other countries at lower levels.

You ever been to upstate NY? That water was death awaiting. I'm talking cold, really cold. Even with a life jacket, he still would have croaked if he had to spend any significant time in that river.

If she pulled the drain plug and took away his paddle, I think I’m comfortable with saying “Woman murdered fiancé by...”. I mean, c’mon.

It should be called the Hinkie-Amaro award, for Christ’s sake. Or the Hinkie-Amaro-Wade award. Or the Hinkie-Amaro-Wade-Kelly award. The HAWK.

That makes no sense. Teams want to win. They employ some of the more execrable people on the planet to do so, across all sports. If Miami had another shot to get Lebron, and thought they had a bona fide shot to do and win the title, of course they’d do it. Money and winning, that’s what teams want. It’s hard to get…

Just imagine a life where moving to Cleveland is a win...

Dude, his ego isn’t fragile at all. He knows he’s the best player in the league. He knows what and who he needs to win. He got what he needed and he won.

What is unremarkable about Bias isn’t how he died, but how many people invested their hopes and dreams in a fucking kid who played basketball. They lost their goddamn minds over a kid who might have been an ok Celtic(depending on how his cocaine use developed.). We still don’t see the same responses over the kids who…

“Personal” essayists are essentially narcissistic. What other quality could a person have that would lead them to believe that their life is so interesting that people should read about it? Self-absorption in oneself or among one’s artistic peers really isn’t something that one can easily recognize until they have…

There’s a great book by William Goldman in which he describes exactly why actors fight for billing. I can only assume the same is very much true for other media figures, Ripa included. Essentially your profile is your value. Any erosion to your profile, like, say, your employer moves your co-worker to another show…

Well, it's a bike race and they're using a fucking motor. That's worse than a corked bat...at least the batter has to make contact.

Fruity mix? There’s 45,000 jokes in there, someplace.

Be gentle with Dick. He's sensitive.

Because the problem has been so historic, reaching back to pre-WW II, and so widespread, both among athletes and sports, I’m always amazed at the opprobrium heaped upon athletes rather than the sporting governing bodies. I’m not for doping in the slightest, but it’s hard to argue against the idea that many athletes…

Think they’ll find motors in any of those bags?

It’s utterly usual to see highs numbers of pregnancies, particularly in fields where there are large numbers of women and where the bulk of the workforce is entry/supervisory level. At one time, 80% of my direct reports were women (16) and I dealt with multiple simultaneous (at one time, 5 at once) leaves for 3 years,…

You might want to consider the potential resistance of a bankruptcy judge to GM’s plan. It’s not a lock.

A) I’m probably much older than you. B) I actually lived with that music as it happened, not as a historical exercise.
