Seriously, when you have to go back and explain your point, you really didn't get the job done the first time.

For a guy that apparently considers himself a sportswriter and a sports fan he sounds like the people that come into the odd GBS sports thread and talk about how sports are stupid and sports fans are children and why do you get paid millions of dollars to throw a ball around but I only make $38,000 a year working 60 hours a week an IT Help Desk.

And he writes about as well as the GBS crowd, too! Do you think... :ohdear:

New thread title rules.

e: So, the BYU Honor Code isn't enforced equally, and is inequitable toward non-Mormon black athletes? How incredibly shocking!

And the school and its representatives don't fully advise new recruits of the code, nor the consequences of breaking it? :monocle:

It is not journalism, but I don't have any long form place to bitch about this.

Flashback to late 1991. I'm in Omaha, visiting a friend who was attending Iowa State. We go to a bar to watch an ISU basketball game. The broadcast team finishes the intro and gives us ISU's KEYS to the GAME! They are:

1. Score.
2. Defend.

Yes, this actually happened.

Ironically, those are the most accurate keys to every game of practically every sport that has an offense and defense.

Indeed. But we were hoping for something, you know, a little less obvious. A little more incisive.

Not sure where else to put this but if you used to watch CNN back when Nick Charles and Fred Hickman did their nightly sports show together show (that lasted close to fifteen years didn't it?), Nick Charles has died at the age of 64.

I called into Nick's show two nights in a row in '83. Disguised my adolescent voice on the second night, because, you know, I didn't want to seem like that was all I did was watch call-in interview sports shows on CNN. The look on Nick's face said that he knew. I almost panicked and hung up, but stuck it out.

So long, Nick. You were aces back then.

And that was a drat good highlight show until they brought on that douche Van Earl Wright.

Were you Hank from Festus or Armando from Miami?

I don't remember if I used my middle name the second night. I probably just said I was from Omaha one night, and the name of the suburb where I lived the other (Papillion).

It's better than cranky old man "John in Plano" who called up The Hardline on The Ticket to complain about being left on hold too long, and then called back the next day as "Joe in Frisco" and didn't even try to change his voice. Then, he threatened to call the Better Business Bureau about them leaving callers on hold too long.

I once took a tech support call from Barnicle regarding a malfunctioning Mac G4 Cube in 2000. He was easy to work with.

Because he was not the usual bitchy, entitled jackpipe we usually got on the phone, I didn't ask him, "So, how's the plagiarism and making-poo poo-up game these days?"

Why is Jay acting as the family spokesman? Why isn't the Scott, lawyer kid, taking that role?

Yep. Part of what pushed her all the way to the right as opposed to just being a moderate Republican was her experience at what she termed "radically Left-Wing" Oberlin.

Also, a friendly reminder: this is the same woman who wrote an entire book centered on the main idea that the United States government's internment of Japanese citizens during World War II was a good decision - good policy and good for the safety of those Japanese-Americans.
