- what are Fla. laws on cellphones while driving? this would get her arrested in NV. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 29, 13:55 4
  - As of October, texting and driving is illegal (though it's a secondary offense - you have to be pulled over for something else to get a $30 ticket). - JaxSean Mar 29, 14:42
  - she said she didn't hit her brakes but doesn't say anything about slowing down when he honked at her which I'm guessing is what she did - zeitgeist Mar 29, 14:23 2
    - I got all that. If she was here, she would be arrested/fined for holding & filming with it. - peglegpete Mar 29, 14:34 1
      - Yeah, neither are driving very well. And cell phones need to be put away. But off the two offences, tailgating is WAY worse than driving the speed - TWuG Mar 29, 14:42
- The people screaming for her to move aren't using the passing lane to pass, they - TWuG Mar 29, 12:47 8
  - Yeah, people that think like this are in the wrong. Move over if someone wants to go faster. You aren't the traffic control police. -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 13:34 3
    - I usually go 66 (60 on most WA freeways) and like the fast lane as its usually not as chewed up by stud tires, what I find is, if I pull over for a.. - zeitgeist Mar 29, 13:48
    - Oh, I stay out of the way of dumbass drivers that think they own the road bevause they're going fast. - TWuG Mar 29, 13:44 1
      - I will stay left until someone comes up on my rear and then I move over as soon as it's safe. -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 13:53
  - She could have moved over. The tailgater is a dick, but the right lane is for passing, and she could have gotten over after passing the trucks. - JaxSean Mar 29, 12:54 2
    - Ohio is appareny one of the few states where the left isn't the "passing lane" - TWuG Mar 29, 13:10 1
      - Illinois (at least they used to) moved the lane back-and-forth from year-to-year to even out the wear and tear. - Spawn Lord Mar 29, 13:28

- Given the pressure on him from the fans...go. - Will Hunting Mar 29, 12:03 6
  - I am surprised they would want Martin over Howland, though. - David Mar 29, 12:04 5
    - Yeah, that is a question on their part; on his, I'm gone. - Will Hunting Mar 29, 12:16 4
      - I suspect Martin won't leave because of Josh Richardson. He should hold our feet to the fire on a raise though. -- nm - David Mar 29, 12:21 3
        
        Unless it's your kid, leave. That kid, if he's legit, should have as much attachment to UT as the coach. - Will Hunting Mar 29, 12:43 2
        
        Richardson is a senior next year and was originally Martin's recruit as SW Missouri. - David Mar 29, 12:50 1
        
        Ahhhh, never mind - Will Hunting Mar 29, 12:53

  - not really. I barely drink. I bought strawberries, bananas, ice cream & fudge sauce so I could make 2 types of milkshakes -- nm - peglegpete Mar 29, 12:05 4
    - so you get the perfect excuse to go for beer and you want milkshakes??? - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 29, 13:23

After looking further into the #CancelColbert situation, I've come to realize it's really just Suey Park trying to coattail ride her way to popularity - Qale Mar 29, 10:11 14
- Well done. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 29, 10:31
- At the same time, there's something very off putting about a bunch of white people saying "It's not racist, you just don't understand the joke" -- nm - Roger More Mar 29, 10:18 9
  - I understand your point but his wording was intentionally 7000% beyond realism for just that reason. -- nm - David Mar 29, 10:45 4
    - I don't really have a problem with the joke - just with the response to the #cancelcolbert campaign. - Roger More Mar 29, 10:53 3
      - I read their tone as, "OH COME ON!", which is completely valid. -- nm - David Mar 29, 10:56
      - I don't agree that that's a summation of the response. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 10:54 1
        
        It's just my drive-by impression - you may be following this more closely -- nm - Roger More Mar 29, 10:58
  - Perhaps, but one simply has to look at her past twitter history alone to show she's the problem, not the solution. -- nm - Qale Mar 29, 10:25 3
    - No, I think the problem is people using "But it's satire/irony" as an automatic escape clause. -- nm - Roger More Mar 29, 10:48 2
      - It is all about context, though. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 29, 10:51
      - Which is why we need to look at the context, which all sane people have thankfully considered. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 10:51

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and Janay Palmer were married Friday -- (link) - Beaker Mar 29, 09:13 19

  - she was charged with simple assault as well. -- nm - Diva Mar 29, 11:21
- My guess is she was offered big bucks to try to improve the optics for Rice and she took it. -- nm - Dano Mar 29, 09:30 1
  - Also, does this mean she can't be forced to testify, or is that only something from tv shows? -- nm - Dano Mar 29, 09:32

Still bitter. -- nm - David Mar 29, 08:57 4
- That must have been agonizing, especially after that comeback -- nm - prayformojo Mar 29, 09:01 3
  - It was the best kind of comeback because we didn't hit fluke threes. We scored then forced turnovers. - David Mar 29, 09:07 2
    - Sorry, buddy. :-( They put up a great fight and made a nice run for the win. It's too bad they fell just short. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 09:34
