Well, being able to get over the yips is part of what determines if you’ll make it as a professional athlete or not. Everyone’s gotta deal with the pressure. It’s part of the job description.

Let it be known that Dave McKenna’s contributions to this in Slack were the puns “Knoblauch that kick!” and “Shankiel.”

Oh ok. I guess if Chris O’Donnell had died after Batman & Robin, it’d be the film we’d all remember as the best Batman film.

I find it rather ironic that when Ledger was first announced as the next joker the internet nerds were howling for blood. I'm happy it turned out to be that he became the gold standard that onscreen villains should aspire to be.

So does the fact that he merely played high school sports make him sufficiently privileged to make him, his lawyers, and the judge appropriate targets for an online shame campaign? I’m struggling to see how this is a story of national importance. All it will do is stoke the flames of keyboard social justice warriors…

Official statement by Ryan Lochte:

I knew it wouldn’t take long for the electric toothbrush shills to show up. Why not just link directly to your products? Don’t you get a commission?

I always want to say this to the hygienist:

You remember that, do you? Where’s some evidence backing up this potentially faulty memory? Could it possibly be an article in Time, or Newsweek?

Another horrible example for America’s youth, when will people finally learn to hold their phone properly while shooting video? smdh

Yeah, I definitely understand the conflict these newspaper faced. The top news was that Hillary was officially nominated, but nothing really happened that represented that news photographically. I like the route the New York Times went.

I’m 66 years old. I became a feminist when I was 5, and my older sister was told she could “join” a model airplane club my father belonged to. She could pay dues, but not attend meetings or meet because she was a girl.(My father promptly “unjoined” that club!) I’ve been waiting 61 years for today.

If you play this video in reverse, you have Dion Waiters’ day.

Plus this one:

No more hacks in the NBA? I love it! Stephen A. Smith has hung on for far too long.

Stories like this convince me there are others involved, possibly a pedophile ring. Sandusky was enabled by so many, there has to be more abusers and victims.

Trick question. For those lucky few millennials employed sportswriterin' at newspapers, it's still Springsteen. But everyone sportswriterin' on the internet has given up on white-dude rock and likes Kendrick Lamar.
