He asked WWJD and the answer, evidently, was to flash a gun at strangers.

It’s like a light flow fading to a heavy flow. It speaks to me.

I NEVER drink out of a cup that has less than four pictures of Jesus on it.

John 6:55

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

Apparently in Texas you do not have to identify yourself to the police unless you are under arrest. So if they arrested her for not identifying herself, they got the law backwards.

You can stop trying so hard, Missouri. You already got into the SEC.

Number of words devoted to this on ESPN (that I can see, at least): Zero. You’d think this would be, y’know, kind of important for a news organization covering college football...

The Department of English cast a vote of no confidence for the chancellor this past week, as well:

If you are talented, people will work to keep you out jail and with a clearance and give you second or third chances as long as they can gain from it. This is nothing new.

Diana had an earlier (also great) piece about how the NFL got the photos. Short version: NFL threatened to sue for access, saying they were public records; ended up working a deal with the prosecutors for access with everybody agreeing that the photos were not public records and the NFL wouldn’t show anyone else. So…

“He is a leader, a true unifying presence.”

We as an organization take this very seriously.

I think this situation shows, more than anything, that performance is all NFL teams care about. Ray Rice hits his fiancee after the worst season of his career, and he’ll never play another snap. Greg Hardy violently assaults his girlfriend and attacks (yes, attacks) a coach on the sideline in an NFL game and has the…
