Bear in mind that NBC doesn't see itself covering a live event. Rather, it's an event that THEY create. They control the narrative. That's why it's all tape-delayed. Viewers will be bombarded with maudlin accounts of "poor athletes" (i.e., only rented, didn't own in Park City) who, having been deeply traumatitized by…

They don't care about edited or unedited, live or not. They care about the amount of money they are paid for broadcast rights. Somebody could pay a 10 billion dollars and not show a single minute and the IOC would be fine with it.

I think the grossest part of this is that it's probably an elaborate marketing ploy for the sequel that is structured around the understanding that more people will pay for a porn if they can at least suspect that the woman didn't want to be there/doesn't want it to be watched.

This should put all the "thug" commentary to rest; anyone reaching for fireball is clearly looking to get whiteboy wasted.

If only Seattle had started Rex Grossman at quarterback. Peyton might have had a shot then.

Yea I should have rephrased. I meant he was involved with the situation with his threatening of the victim. I feel the university's real incentive in covering this up was to protect Lewan, because if they disciplined Gibbons they would have had to discipline Lewan for intimidating the victim.

Because Taylor Lewan was involved as well. Gibbons goes down, Lewan goes down.

You left out the part about the coaches and AD being aware that the school found a preponderance of evidence that Gibbons raped this girl, and then playing him against Iowa 3 days later. Followed by Hoke saying that Gibbons was hurt when he missed the Ohio State game and that he was dealing with a "family issue" when…

The NFL media is such a rotten, entitled, high-horse riding bunch, it's enough to make me think for five seconds that baseball media is more palatable. Then I awake from my coma and continue on with my day.

You've basically just distilled down the libertarian ideas on labor / capital interaction.

It's kind of fascinating to me that to so many of these commenters, the only thing that could entitle a person to complain about their job is being forced to do it at gunpoint. Literally, that's it.

The NFL is good at denying things despite a mountain of evidence: see public funding for NFL stadiums.

Wow, she went with the Detroit mullet: vacant, graffitied business on the left, overgrown disgusting piece of property on the right.

If you look at her from one side, she looks like an insane drug addict, but if you look at her from the other side, you can see her tattoos.

I actually disagree with you as a Christian myself. I don't believe the New Testament denounces committed homosexual relations but denounces rampant sexuality. When Paul wrote to Timoty in Ephesus, Corinth and Rome, all 3 areas were sexually immoral. Orgies and multiple sexual partners were not uncommon. Homosexuality…

The Misogynist Theorem: If you start any sentence, essay, treatise, tweet, etc. with "I'm not a sexist, but..." you are a fucking sexist.

It can't be called arrogance when the talk's backed up.

Regret: Lance Fucking Armstrong.

I was 8 when this happened and remember hating them both. Tonya was trailer trash and Nancy was a bitchy priss. It's lose-lose. Kristi Yamaguchi forever and ever, amen.
