Thought 9.79* was really good. Ben Johnson came off more likable than Carl Lewis. Johnson’s claim that one of Lewis’ guys was spiking his drinks looked more plausible.
I like how they had the doctor saying that one of the signs of the sprinters on steroids were that they wore braces because the jaw grows out…cue next shot, Carl Lewis wearing braces.

If you thought Goodell WASN’T going to keep the suspensions the same (or make only modest changes) then you were being too optimistic and not seeing clearly. Plus, the media jumped all over the team and ran the story into the ground, so they’re tired of it. If Vilma actually does get Goodell in court, I don’t expect it’ll get that much play. It won’t move the needle enough.
October 10th, 2012 at 8:45 AM
congratulations, man. I bet that cost a ton. I’m always shocked at how much it costs to adopt children. it should be effing free because, you know, they’re orphaned kids and somebody WANTS to take care of them.

Thanks y’all. Surprisingly, it didn’t cost much. In fact, while we were fostering, it really cost us nothing. We had WIC, which provided free food, and we went through an agency which was free and provided free diapers and paid for day care. We didn’t have to pay for health care either. Medicare.
We had to pay $1500 for the attorney yesterday, but overall it’s been cheap. Of course now that he’s “ours” we have to pay for everything, but foster parenting is actually free/cheap.

Carl Lewis’ music video flashback was scary. Bubbles and makeup.
October 10th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
I agree completely. Ben seems very comfortable with himself, Carl is still a petty little man. The braces comment followed by Carl wearing them was fantastic. The clips of Carl singing were hilarious even by 80s flashback standards

Look, I understand being a Saints fan why you would think that record matters, but I’m telling you that it doesn’t. It just doesn’t. It’s not as important to anyone as it is to you guys. That’s okay. If a Falcons player broke that record, and the media was ignoring it, I’d play the Rodney Dangerfield card too. But that wouldn’t make me right and everyone else wrong.

Thanks again everyone. He just turned two. Was 5 months when we got him (mom was in prison right after conception so luckily he wasn’t exposed to drugs in womb). Still haven’t taught him the infield fly rule, though, but he does throw a mean fastball.
October 10th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
It is what it is. So far you’ve had 30+ documentarians tell the stories they want to tell. Obviously there’s gonna be clunkers. I especially thought that the Wayne Gretzky and Marion Jones one were just dog shit awful. If you want to hype up an exclusive Wayne Gretzky interview on a golf course, just go ahead and do that. But don’t call it a documentary. And John Singleton, if you want to sleep with Marion Jones, there’s probably and cheaper and less time consuming manner to go about accomplishing that goal. Does he still have some of her shit on his nose from all the brown nosing?
October 10th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
Definitely. The production and concepts are great because it’s done by actual documentary/filmmakers rather than terrible ESPN hacks.

October 10th, 2012 at 9:24 AM

It is obvious that ESPN is doing a very ESPNy thing and are going to oversaturate the 30 for 30 thing.
Obviously there’s gonna be clunkers.
Next week’s (why next week already? Oh, oversaturate) is about Naismith’s rules being bought at auction and being housed at Allen Fieldhouse. It looks horrible. Even though my brother is in it.
October 10th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
I guess Carl Lewis came along just prior to the time that we started learning anything and everything there is to know about our sports idols. I think he’s still generally revered, but if he were in his prime today, your average joe would probably have a different opinion of him.

All his failed drug tests were public knowledge back then, you’re definitely right about the attention being different.
Doesn’t stop hack writers today writing about how he’s better than Phelps while ignoring the doping scandals, though.

I believe the Wayne Gretzky documentary was one of the very first in that series. Hopefully whoever made it now realizes that he turned in sub-par work. Especially considering what other people turned in after him. He just took a giant dump on screen, basically.

Here’s a random story that you guys might get a kick out of. I met PSY (of Gangnam Style fame) in Seoul when he was just starting out in the music business over 10 years ago. He was a funny dude, but a bit awkward and I never imagined he’d ever make it in the biz… it’s unbelievable how huge this song has become.

First day it came out. The post-movie discussion on the Internet is just as fun.

October 10th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
I saw the Kupchak v. West question and initially laughed but its actually a very legit argument. I think Mitch has made things happen out of thin air more than West but West was a slightly better talent evaluator/drafter. Very close. If Mitch gets another title or two, I think I’d have to give him the nod.

I was hoping for Cortez and Like a Hurricane, getting the latter as a twenty minute encore was enough. Hasn’t played Cortez much on this tour, been playing heavier stuff. Only time they’ve played Rockin in the Free World was in Central Park with Dave Grohl and some other people accompanying, it’s not part of the tour rotation it would seem.

How can you be prepared to debate someone when what they say at the debate is completely different from what they’ve said for the past few months? Romney can’t pick a position and stick with it.
Just yesterday, Romney said that he would have no legislation with regards to abortion as president. That was then walked back by his camp saying that “Governor Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life.” How do you debate someone who says things that are clearly not true and are immediately backed away from by his own staff?

This is not a viewpoint:
That is a strawman argument, but I’ll demonstrate a viewpoint:
Cutting public jobs is part of cause of the sluggish recovery as unemployment is the biggest problem. Austerity measures thought the lens of shrinking government is misguided and historically exacerbates a recession. Cutting PBS adds to the recession, note that paying down debt does not afford anyone a pay cheque.

Nah. Not a spat. Butters just genuinely dislikes me and likes to bring up how terrible I was as a commenter over a year ago. I think I’m much more respectful. Also, i voted fir McCain, so not sure where the anti GOP stuff cones from. Can’t let sleeping dogs lie I guess.

2) How in the holy fuck are you losing an internet battle to Butters?

1) What was your name a year ago
1. I was one of the ones you hated. Dont worry.
2. I’m not sure how to win an argument where butters’ move is to drop in something he thinks I said into a completely different conversation that barely relates and calls me a hypocrite. I don’t write down everything the guy has ever posted. I don’t pay enough attention to who says what around here.

answer the question. You seem fine now.
2:) Butters has one tiny weakness that you could exploit. I won’t say what it is, but if you find out, it will give you a miniscule advantage over him. Just wait a wee bit, and all will be revealed. You’re only about 4 feet, 11 inches away from the knowledge.

Maybe Vezina didn’t get invited because people thought he’d bring printed handouts of things he’s written on his senyor madre dot blogspot dot com website, and every time anybody looked him squarely in the eye, he’d offer them a handout, and force them to read it on the spot, and then tell him how good it was.
