I had never heard of this girl before, I had to google her, and came across this image, interesting, to say the least
These were great, my roommate in college had several of the C&H books and they were just damn funny, great comic.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:16 AM
I’m not familiar with Ms. Schumer. She seems nice.

“Paul Ryan is looking to trim the budge a bit” ?

Amy Schumer was good as the leadoff on the Rosanne roast. Gilbert Gottfried’s whole persona is incredible, I’m laughing just thinking about him.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
The old coach’s plight is awful. Howeva…
This Thomas Lake and his “as I wrote last year” perspective is ham-fisted, to say the least. You made your point. Browbeating somebody into doing the right thing (at least in your eyes) ain’t the way to go about it. Especially someone you don’t know well (assuming he’s never met MJ).
How would any of us feel if similar happened in our lives? Have any of us ever done what Lake wants done, even on a smaller scale? Any of us ever been confronted by a stranger saying “somebody who bought you a beer 30 years ago is scuffling, and you can help”?
August 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
I reached out to Carl Carey to ask if he had a response to McIntyre’s article. ”The issues pertaining to college student athletes and academics are very serious,” said Carey to SportsAgentBlog.com.
Dude, he totally iced your cold call and picked up on this guy.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
So Ricky Reilly wants to tear up a contract that two private parties freely entered into and has been financially lucrative for both parties? For a man who routinely regurgitates his own work and hasn’t had a good article since the 90s, maybe he should point that relegation ray-gun to himself.

Far Side vs Calvin & Hobbs is like arguing Boobs vs Ass. They’re just two very different things, and in the end, we all win.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
At least Melky Cabrerea ‘owned’ it when he was busted. Obviously he wasn’t going to come out and say the reason he was having such a great season was because he was juicing, but he didn’t give us some sham answer when caught.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:52 AM

Presented without comment.
I hope Lt. McIntyre comes out to play wth this one
August 16th, 2012 at 8:53 AM

August 16th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
I agree. This is the type of stuff that conflicts the hell outta me – do I want my country to do the humane thing and assist the suffering and oppressed? Or do I want us to sit back and let them fight over their differences?
I think diplomacy and humanitarian aid is about all that we can do right now. Fuck Russia and China for supporting this asshole.

Bill Watterson Writes, Illustrates, Shreds New ‘Calvin And Hobbes’ Strip Each Morning Out Of Spite
AUGUST 29, 2011
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH—Despite not having published a new comic strip since December 1995, cartoonist Bill Watterson has reportedly taken the time every day since to write, pencil, hand-ink, and, out of spite, destroy a new installment of Calvin And Hobbes. “Wow, this might be one of the best yet,” Watterson said as he completed his 5,689th strip of the past 16 years and then immediately fed it into a paper shredder. “I bet my millions of fans would really love this whole new direction for Spaceman Spiff. Oh, well, fuck them.” According to sources, Watterson also spends a portion of his time calling comic strip syndicates to discuss publishing new material, only to abruptly announce, “Actually, that’s never gonna happen,” and hang up the phone.

My H.S. football team had a scrimmage near there that day. Hundreds of folk out in front of Graceland…in the August heat…standing around as if Elvis was gonna come back from the dead. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

I hear you SROD, but part of what makes MJ (even more) a douche is that he has run around perpetrating the whole: he cut me from varsity” lie his whole life. IN reality, the guy did nothing but help him succeed, and for that he has received nothing except a pain in the ass. Jordan is such a fucking dick he even ripped him again in his lame HOF speech. MJ is just not a good dude.

OK, Vincent. MJ has always been a self-serving cat. That narrative made for a great story for a long time. The coach did help him in high school. Is there a statute of limitations on that?
That’s why I asked the questions. Each of us have probably had someone help us along our lives. For you or me, if someone from high school came up to us needing substantial help, how far would we go?
Sure, MJ can help. He’s got the bucks to do it. I was more picking at Lake trying to force the issue. If MJ ever comes through, it won’t be because Lake did his written arm-twisting.
Also, what if we could identify 5 people who helped MJ over the years. How much does he help each?

In Wilmington NC, MJ could build this guy a house for $10,000. That’s probably less than $1.00 for you and me. Would I give a dollar to a coach who helped me in HS (above and beyond what average coaches do)? Absolutely. It’s not a hard decision.
And the cut story was a bald-faced lie. For him to keep rubbing that coach’s face in it is embarrassing. What kind of person shits on people like that?
