I think he gets a bad rap. He’s a flat out amazing athlete. He’s not great at being coherently extemporaneous. My point is that he’s spent his life trying to be the former, yet we lampoon him for not being the latter. We're the idiots, here.

Sure, Eric Heiden, now a pretty well-known sports physician. There’s plenty of examples on both sides. But, it’s not really up for debate that most elite athletes move through life in a bubble until their athletic careers end. Some are “just like us”; most aren't. It's not a knock, just reality.

...and a monumentally bad choice. That thing is just future Mercedes payments for a laser removal specialist.

If you’ve ever been an athlete, or been around elite athletes, they operate without paying a lot of attention to how the rest of the world operates (avoiding “distractions”). They’re almost never well socialized. An athlete can do well academically and still lack social sophistication or an appreciation for propriety.…

Asking for enlightened views or eloquence from a dude who's been in a pool constantly since he was six might be a bit much.

Stick to news.

That line is funny 100% of the time. You could break it out while giving your grandmother’s eulogy and get a laugh.

You know Japan is racist as fuck, right? Japanese might tolerate white people, black people and brown people, and other Asians, but don’t even make an attempt to allege any particular sensitivity or openness to integration on the part of the Japanese. They really love the interracial reproduction, too...those kids…

Don't forget the crazy racism! Japan is racist as fuck.

Dude, you’re not right. You’re never gonna be right.

No, he’s not. Clay Bennett is.

Muck the Fets!

There’s no suggestion that it was ok, merely that it was, and there’s documentation everywhere, very frequent. You seem to not have read history or to want to Romanticize the noble treatment of women; don’t kid yourself. While women have always been strong and capable, they did not have any real power in society…

Nope. Doing 50-60. I’m going to assume steering with her knees, making creative use out of her cup holders, I mean, shit, I have no idea. But, when you see someone lifting a bowl of corn flakes up on a highway, it feels like a commercial. I figure her passenger compartment must be lined on plastic. Smokin’, though.

That’s part of the deal, getting blood on your hands. The US is (and must be, really) hegemonic. Aside of that, no one can be inaugurated and simply end a war in a few weeks. The expectation that any President can do that is untutored, and that’s being generous.

Cats have it coming. Everyone knows this. I love my cat and my cat loves me, but from a karma perspective? I would be unsurprised if he got run over by a truck driven by a sparrow.

Every morning, I watch my neighbor walk out to her car, which is a stick shift, carrying with her an overfilled bowl of cereal with milk, a spoon and a cup of coffee. She gets in and drives off. I have seen her on the highway eating that cereal while doing her makeup and swigging coffee. She’s so fucking hot it makes…

When we stop reflexively getting shit for even daring to remark on an unattractive lady style because we’re not ladies, then, and only then can you have my cargo shorts. The three ladies in my house and I have reached detente’ on the issue. (Looking at you, 1990's Herman Munster shoes and bell-bottoms, 2000-?…

Not to be pedantic, but is the implication that she didn't choose her first husband? Because I'm pretty sure she did; their relationship just didn't work our. (I'm a fan, btw, and I operate on the assumption that all, every single one of them, musicians, actors, artists, are at least somewhat fucking crazy. I'll bet…
