On the subject of beating a dead horse, another athlete all the kids can look up to.

Holy !

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that sports are evil and everybody who plays them is a bad person. Thank you for posting this, KenM. When news of this gets out, it's going to expose the world of athletics for the cesspool of depravity and elitism that it is. Hopefully we can soon have a world where the only events at the Olympics are "sitting on the couch while eating Cheetoes" and "naming important elves from the Silmarillion."

(Seriously, dude. Just give it a rest already. Your constant drumbeat of "sports are evil" is making you look silly.)

Drug tests confirm that Drizz't Do'Urden was hopped up on a potion of haste when he killed all those orcs. King Obould Many-Arrows is demanding payment for all those raise deads he's going to have to have casted. The XP that he received will be awarded to Artemis Entreri instead.

KenM, I've come to the conclusion that you are just a master troll. It's the only way I can sleep at night.

Dude, that was from April! You didn't even mention the 5 Bengals who have been arrested since then!

According to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Los Angeles Police Department detective Robert Lewis said a group of people -- including Manning -- attacked a man in a Denny's after teasing him for working on a laptop computer.

"The group began by making comments that the victim looked like a geek or a nerd," Lewis said, according to the Sun-Times.

Nerds!!!!

Yeah, and we won't bother looking for the studies which conclude that being involved with athletics in school actually lessens a person's chances of getting in trouble with the law later in life. Instead we'll look at individual stories about athletes and ignore all the nerds and geeks who get in trouble for things like running Enron into the ground and negatively affecting thousands of employees. And what about Mel Gibson!?!? I think that proves that celebrities are all evil too.

So, Ken, do these threads serve a point other then to tell us jocks picked on you and you've never gotten over it?

Let's just put a short moratorium on threads on this topic, shall we?
