    Is that the guy who chastised the Buffs coach for not protecting his female kicker from a rape, only for it to later come out that a Hs football rape party had happened at his house a few weeks earlier? I can see why U liked him.

        I can't answer your question as I don't recall that situation. As for your insinuation that I'm a outspoken hypocrite is unfounded. I'm not sure where you got that idea.

          Nothing personal. It was primarily a jab at Ute fans. Hence the use of “U” instead of “you.” But you are guilty by association. So I guess maybe a little something personal.

Frank Deford, may he rest in peace, was probably the most overrated journalist ever. Just a windbag.

                  So people who specialize in sports analysis and commentary, mostly former athletes, aren't well-rounded or skilled enough to pass muster as regular seasoned, professional journalists? Yeah that grinds my gears.

                    I'm not sure most sportswriters are former athletes. Maybe high school, but I'm not aware of any data. I agree that most NFL analysts are former superstars. I wouldn't rely on them for analysis or reporting of anything that really matters, though.

                    If so much of what sports writers put out weren't such drivel or so offensive we wouldn't have such a low opinion of them. By their fruits ye shall know them.

                      Running on the coastal trail in downtown Seattle in the dark tonight, I was looking at my Garmin app and stepped on a break in the pavement and fell hard. Nasty spill. Hurt like hell, and cracked my screen. Fortunately, nothing sprained or broken (on my self).

                      The thing about falling, is you swear it will never happen again, it's so unpleasant and embarrassing. Then bam! it happens before you know it. Suddenly you're on the ground.

                      It's a reminder of how remarkable our feat is of moving about (primarily) on hind legs.

                        Here's a fitting comedy bit to cheer you up, SU. Please don't be too turned off by the fact that he is a Mormon.

                          That was awesome. Every minute was relevant. it's nice to see something truly funny after so long. A guy did come by and ask me if I was okay--twice. And I said yes, yes (of course). Even though I'd hollered and swore when I bit the dust. I walked it off and ran again, with bloody hands, because I am "addicted to running."

                            Ryan Hamilton is hilarious.

                            SU, I am glad you are OK.
