Welcome to the club, or whatever...

I don’t remember which CEO said it, but it was something along the lines of “I assign the most impossible of tasks to lazy people because they will find the most efficient way to do it.” Hence, Amazon and online banking.

I go to the self-checkout if I want to avoid human communication. I've held back thoughts because "what if the audience doesn't care?" and I really hate that feeling, so if the cashier has some thoughts on a subject, even if it may be out of their wheelhouse, what's the harm in listening? Are those additional 30 seconds about human trafficking really such a nuisance to your viewing experience? If so, HERE are the people you should be mad at. They're the ones putting up the money so these no-nothings can spew their agenda-driven "causes." Like, we're tired of people giving a public speech when placed on the business end of a microphone. Is that not at least a little bit ridiculous? Why don't we just have one presenter sit behind a big desk with a gavel, and once everyone has had a chance to look at the winner as they walk across the stage to accept their award, and once the winner waves at the crowd to signify their thanks, the MC slams the gavel, a hush comes over the crowd, and on to the next one?

So if I've learned anything here, artists' and athletes' are incapable of and should avoid promoting a worthy "cause" because they are merely here for our entertainment? That pretty much get it? Is it because they're famous? rich? open to the possibility of a reality outside of that in which they live? Help me understand.

We can blame the media, but they write what gets clicks.

Like I said, some of that is on Generation X...

And I'm sure you're not alone in this thinking, but why, then, are athletes and entertainers transgressions made so public? If we don't care about them as people, why do stories about their history of sexual and domestic abuse continue to be published by the hour? Why do we have seven pages on LaVar Ball but seven threads about the actual games being played in the NBA? I feel like an atheist telling a christian that they can't pick and choose when the Bible applies to them.

We can't take all the credit, (Waddup Gen-X) but we pretty much ended hard copies of music and literature. And "Proper" English.

I don't know how else to put it; This is essentially "shut up and play," like we heard with Kap. Not trying to paint anybody any type of way. Them's just the optics.

First, I don't think this is unique to UK fans, and that's already been mentioned, but rankings are how ~95% of fans gauge how good their teams are. The overwhelming majority of fans in all sports have a limited understanding of the game, so "experts" giving an estimation of how good a team is could be the only way they know if their team is any good or not. It's why we get caught up in the Cinderellas in March. "They weren't ranked, shows what those experts know."

"Cause"? In quotations? So dudes being creeps and inequality in the industry are just "causes?" Are we not tired of suppressing these dirty little secrets? Just curious what issue would be so worthy of dropping the "..."

Right, but it took him four minutes of deciding the best way to try to win, before he decided he wasn't trying to win. Also, funny to me that I'm up in arms over four minutes when NBA refs take that and more regularly to review plays.

S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!

To be expected from #5 in usage rating. Third-best TO% of the top five. Raw stats don't tell the whole story.

If that’s a love song, Sir Mix-a-lot wrote the greatest power ballad of all time.

The refrain of last night’s winner is “I’m in love with your body.”

Fun fact, since Oregon won the first NCAA tournament in ‘39, schools west of the Mississippi River have won 26 times. Considering 11 of those are UCLA’s, it’s hard for me to not have an East Coast bias. That said, Arizona won in 97, KU in 08, so we shouldn’t be far off from another, unless Gonzaga blew the region’s only chance at a title this decade.

It's not his fault he won, but when you consider the messages of the songs nominated and the social climate of the times, it was pretty tone-deaf for the academy to pick his as the winner.

I can't wrap my mind about having a clear green ahead and taking four minutes to hit the ball.

Never buy Big 12 hype. Ever.

Day bested Alex Noren on the first playoff hole today after playing even through 72, as well as five playoff holes last night. Tiger played fine and was smiling in his Sunday red, which is good to see. Here’s the real story of the weekend though: JB Holmes holds up play -Golf Digest

Isn't this the attitude victims of harassment/assault/rape have been battling since the beginning of time?

Luckily for them, they don't have to declare at this point. I just think they'll both be at the combine this summer. He still has somewhere between 11 & 20 games to raise his stock. I think he's gone. I forgot PJ, but I think he goes too.

This. And probably Richards. Gabriel could get the Tristain Thompson special for his work on the glass too.

Agreed. Somebody could use him to stuff the run. I bet he'd like the chance to take some shots at QBs too, just to feel that rush.
