The Swamp

AB and DC both voiced my thoughts on the matter. Both sides - parents and airline - handled this very poorly. Like AB said, I suspect the full quote - and probably many others not given to the media - were harsher and possibly more threatening. We all need to learn to be more tolerant of differences...

Actually, that's probably perfect for me.

Seeing the actual order of those movies - the one I guessed and the correct answer - really surprised me.

The flip side is that peaceful protests wouldn't have been on all of the TV channels. They'd have been talking about Bruce Jenner.

Damn. That pic about got me. So sorry.

Didn't Calipari just get 7-10 future pros to share minutes over the course of an entire season? Yes, and I said that I'm pressed with how he gets those kids to play team D. However, in how they otherwise play and in how he talks about his teams and players, it seems that the motivation is not so mu...

Very lucky guess.

It sucks. I'm having a hard time articulating everything I'm feeling and feel powerless as far as any ability to impact anything. I hope real change comes out of this, but like Howard said upthread, this shit has been going on for a long, long time. What is it going to take to break that cycle? A b...

I saw a pretty good article on Coach Shesheffsky after they won. Good in the fact that he is doing it the way Cal has been doing it and yet the spin has been different. K is a tremendous coach. He recognizes trends and now has two titles in the span when Cal has been at Kentucky. The reason? He's a...

I gotta think Peoria is the national leader, with the expression "will it play in Peoria?"

Personally, I use Buttfuck, Nowhere, or something similar to that. I guess I'm classy that way.

At this point, it seems inevitable that we'll eventually hear stories of SAS abusing women, right? He seems so eager to defend athletes who get caught, that it just reeks of self-justification.

Just catching up. I had no idea on that poem. I changed my answer from right to wrong on that sea.

I wish the article explained HOW the analysis was faulty. How were they identifying hair before DNA analysis? Just looking at it under a microscope like they do with bullets?

Justin Anderson didn't make the list?

That's awesome. I wish my kids had that aggression. I'm not sure my two boys combined have scored 8 goals in their soccer careers.

I wish the US had had THAT Bradley during the World Cup. He was clearly the best player on the field. Granted, those weren't true WC-quality squads, but still.

Hot damn. I'm surprised at how fired up that got me.

Luke's daughter (I guess?) is smoking.

NC State had a bad day yesterday. Many were picking them as a preseason top ten team next year, but leading scorer Trevor Lacey decided to forego his final year and turn pro. He's a very good college player, but I seriously doubt he'll get drafted. Two hours later, backup forward (and frequent start...

Here's the story. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/14/us/arizon ... r-suspect/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Given the details, it's hard to fault the cop too much. I can't believe the balls on that guy.

Uh, holy shit! Is that something they teach or had that cop played too much GTA?

That is simply mind-blowing. I'm a decent shooter, but I'm not sure I could hit 77 straight layups.

I'm sure if the redesign doesn't happen I don't even notice this article. It's one that surely deserves to be written, but looks wildly out of place on a site like ESPN.

The other day I was on my back deck. Absolutely beautiful day. New leaves popping out everywhere, bright green in the warm sun. I heard the tell-tall warble of a red-bellied woodpecker and then saw it land on a branch above me. Cool-looking bird. A few seconds later, another red-bellied woodpecker f...

Missed Rasputin (I guessed Lenin), but in a minor miracle, got the Caucasus one. Go Caucasians!

Somehow I missed this movie and I guess it just came out. It looks awesome.

I think there are slightly more of these incidents occurring lately (last 5-10 years) but many more are being caught on video, hence the heightened coverage. Video like this latest murder surfaces ten years ago, media goes wall to wall with it (like Rodney King). All about the pictures. Given the h...

Dammit. Reports are flowing that Justin Anderson is declaring for the NBA. He was a lot of fun to watch.

UVA will still be very good next year, but maybe not preseason top-5 anymore.
