Universities hate letting anyone tell them how to run their money-making sports business as a matter of principle. If you let people pressure you into firing a guy, that’s a first step to accepting stricter regulation across the board. So no matter how incompetent and student endangering the coach is, you have to…

The Stanford band going on the field before the whistle had been blown would have been an automatic touchdown anyway.

The bullshit is that it wasn’t at least partially offset by a penalty for the repeated, unnecessary, hand-to-helmet contact from Hill. 

I think nuclear is a better choice than fossil fuels, for sure, but it’s daft to pretend long-term containment of radioactive materials is a solved problem. Even if you could come up with a fuel cycle that went all the way from uranium to lead in a manageable timeframe, there’s a ton of induced radioactivity in the…

But when your quarterback is perhaps the most talented quarterback to ever play football, “things could be worse” is just not good enough.

“The fans aren’t entitled to anything, but I’m certainly entitled to a giant stadium filled to capacity with a rabidly screaming throng of adulating admirers every other Saturday (in addition to an $8+ million per year salary).”

So what you’re saying is, never read anything from Twitter? 

Mortensen’s all-time leading scorer crown

I hope they throw the book at him, and then the book falls down the sewer.

I’m not racist, I just say and do racist things.

What’s Derek Jeter got to do with any of this?

Yeah, but a normal person has to sit in court like a chump and wait their turn. Becks can fly back to wherever and have his pinstripe show up for him.

Raleigh is so boring the best the locals can think of for entertainment to wear their caps upside down.

There are three different kinds of hops added to beer: aromatic hops, flavor hops, and bitterness hops. Asking for the hoppiest beer is like asking for the best seat in the airplane: you have an actual specific preference (A,B, or C, or some combination thereof), but you’re not giving the person in a position to help…

Fuck you, I’m walking.

No, you’re confusing it with The Week in Rocks, hosted by Kurt Lodestone

Is no one else just as concerned about the fact that this guy says he has no friends or social life and spends literally all his time on the mod, as they are that  Blizzard and WoW benefit from his work? 

If I didn’t know better, I’d say Clemson did this on purpose, benching him now so he can play another year elsewhere. Of course, I do know better: no football coach would ever willingly let one of their detainees loose before their parole was up.

The Euro names in MLS are unbelievably stupid, with the notable exception of Real Salt Lake, which is inspired in its transcendent banality.

If you’re going to automate strike calling, why not automate strike throwing? A dedicated pitching machine would be more reliable. And get rid of the batter, you can have a mechanical arm that tracks the ball and aims the swing more precisely than any human. Dingers all around!
