To be fair, if you have Mike Ditka as your headliner for a HIGH SCHOOL career day, you are spoiled brats.

I am 6' even and I typically pay extra for exit row seating. I don't understand how he can fold himself up like that.

By that definition - a NFL offensive lineman is not a sportsman. He will likely never touch the ball, and his position is akin to a wrestler.

In May, I watched my Norwegian friend prepare Southern style fried chicken reading a recipe in Norwegian on an iPad. That wasn't possible without a trip to a really well stocked library or bookstore five years ago.

I use my iPad whenever I prepare something unfamiliar. I have the recipe up, and music playing in the…

When I was in grad school, I would make homemade beef with broccoli, enough for two meals. One of my roommates got in the habit of eating the second one. Being a poor grad student, that was unacceptable. So I started cooking it with four times the peppercorns than normal. It still tasted lovely to me - but was pretty…

From my experience working in Norway, I learned that the people there don't obsess over race as Americans do. For example, the Norwegians don't keep government records segmented by race. From a personal standpoint, there were young women who were scared to talk to me until they realized I am an American.

I loved Minnesota. Cried when I had to leave.

Nope, never made a scene like that in public. Or rather, not more than once. My Mom and Dad brought the hammer on the regular.

Statham set up his partner, through a crazy twist Jet Li is both his partner and the hero.

LOL - watch the movie. It is pretty good, so I won't spoil it for you except to say you're wrong.

What about "The One" or "War?"

She married him. Maybe she told Goodell that a fine and long suspension punishes her too.

Both last names at least have a precedent, Latin societies have done it forever. But if it is just the mother's name, the child is attached with the "badge of bastardy." That was the feedback when Queen Elizabeth II(!!) looked into giving her children only her last name (Windsor).

Does labor have no value? In the coffee example, you have to sit there and make it in your kitchen, instead of grabbing it in the drive-thru on the way to work (or stop by a shop on the walk to Gawker Media). There is a financial and opportunity cost associated with making it yourself that is included in the $3…

Nice catch - I missed that the first two times.

That's because Andrews gave Deadspin (journalistic) access.

The prohibition against taking the Lord's name in vain is in the 10 commandments. Right up there with murder and adultery. Saying FUCK is actually better.

I have knocked on a stranger's door asking for help before. Strangers have knocked on my door. I never thought I was taking my life in my hands, and this was in the South.

I read your comment as "sexism is everywhere, so what." I apologize if I misinterpreted your intention.

That doesn't excuse it. Racism has been a part of life in the US for hundreds of years, but I am still going to raise holy hell if a black man gets lynched.
