*gets to keep completely pointless initials after his name for another two years* - Tim Aug 15, 15:19 1

Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp cut the tip of his finger off in a booze fueled rage. Really gruesome photo linked. -- (link) - jnine Aug 15, 14:52 3

Cubs fire Wrigley Field DJ for playing inappropriate song - David Aug 15, 14:38 21
- In my head all I can hear is the "shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your groove thing" version... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 15, 15:04
- Have we seen a precipitous drop in bitch-smacking because it's culturally unacceptable or because bitches have smartened up sufficiently? nm - Dignan Aug 15, 14:53
- ~Oh Me so horny me love you long time.~ -- nm - budice Aug 15, 14:46
- That's a stupid stunt someone working for an opposing team would pull, not the home team. Idiot. -- nm - Tim Aug 15, 14:42 17
  - I dunno, are DJ's expected to know the history of every player and potential connotations of each song? - Max Aug 15, 14:44 15
    - This song isn't on the regular rotation. There's only one reason you play it. - iSpam Aug 15, 15:15
    - It's 2016. "Smack My Bitch Up" shouldn't be even close to a stadium playlist no matter what player is coming up. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 15, 14:47 1
      - I know right? They should have at least played Wild Frontier. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 14:54
    - He missed 30 games this season for domestic violence. In this case, it's inexcusable. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 15, 14:46 11
      - it is probably inexcusable even if it were not Chapman pitching. - groiny Aug 15, 14:48 6
        
        But shouldn't the DJ just get a 30-game suspension instead of getting fired? - Max Aug 15, 15:17 5
        
        at least chapman didn't get paid during his suspension, so there's that. - b. Aug 15, 15:27
        
        One of them can throw 104 mph and one can't. -- nm - iSpam Aug 15, 15:20 3
        
        This makes me want to vomit. -- nm - Max Aug 15, 15:21 2
        
        I'm honestly not sure what other answer you were expecting. Maybe one is represented by a union and one isn't. - spamlet Aug 15, 15:25
        
        I have a feeling the DJ was trying to make a point, and, you know, the rest... -- nm - . Aug 15, 15:24
      - But again, I didn't know that about Chapman. Are baseball DJs expected to know? -- nm - Max Aug 15, 14:47 3
        
        Of course he did. -- nm - . Aug 15, 15:19
        
        yeah, they should. -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 14:49
        
        If you are hired by the club, yeah, you should know that stuff -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 14:49
  - We are not lining up on baseball much lately. -- nm - David Aug 15, 14:43
I'm calling dibs on Burkini Beach Riot for my punk band name -- (link) - ML Aug 15, 14:32
I'm eternally behind, but Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa from the Cruiserweight Classic Round 1 is a match of the year candidate. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 14:14 5
- yup. and then they made me adore them both even more - Tim Aug 15, 14:17 4
  - I hope Cien shuts Roode up. God knows we don't need TWO Triple Hs in NXT. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 14:19 3
    - Putting him vs. Roode in his first match makes me wonder if they're already giving up on La Sombra. - Tim Aug 15, 14:24 2
      - Part of me questions what NXT is now though. Is it an indie wrestling orgie, or are we building new stars? -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 14:43 1
        
        If they sign most of the CWC guys, I guess it's the former now. But I'm okay with that. - Tim Aug 15, 14:49
At this point I would be more surprised if Michelle Jenneke wore anything other than her track outfit -- nm - shaolin fantastic Aug 15, 14:12
*gasp* Upset Gold Coast Residents Say New Gelato Spot Isn't Good Enough For Them -- (link) - Remlik Aug 15, 14:09 5

- If the Amorino's they want it replaced with is the same as the one in Beverly Hills, I'm with them. It's the best gelato I've had in the US. Of - jnine Aug 15, 14:14 3
  - I haven't been to Amorinos, but Black Dog is one of these places that prides itself on doing unusual flavors. They mention in the article one of - pmb Aug 15, 14:44 2
    - These people don't like challenging food. The area restaurants aren't the most adventurous -- nm - . Aug 15, 15:16
    - Amorino's is traditional gelato and seasonal artisinal flavors, but it's really good. They also make pretty flowers out of the flavors. I haven't trie - jnine Aug 15, 14:48
Oof, that Malaysian diver - Reagen Aug 15, 14:07
Okay so for No Man's Sky, what is a better weapon system to use in space combat early on?? - Jovian Aug 15, 13:54 2

Andy Murray, ftw -- (link) - znufrii, dad. Aug 15, 13:38 26
- woke as fuck. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:48
- not to defend the idiot reporter but didn't he basically fumble the question? Not "first person to win two" but "first person to win two consecutive" - oblique Aug 15, 13:45 22
  - why would we think that was the question he intended? -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 13:47 3
    - because his question is so obviously stupid (like you said, not the first swimmer to medal) that the then obvious thing he left out was "singles" - oblique Aug 15, 14:03 2
      - I thought you said you were not defending the reporter.. Which is what you are doing.. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 15, 14:11
      - There's also a history of dismissing women's tennis to consider - Reagen Aug 15, 14:05
  - Williams sisters won back-to-back doubles gold in 2008 and 2012, iinm, so he'd still be wrong. -- nm* - znufrii, dad. Aug 15, 13:46 17
    - and technically his achievement was for *singles* gold - oblique Aug 15, 13:48 16
      - It doesn't have to be intentional to be an example of sexism. - znufrii, dad. Aug 15, 13:50 13
        
        truth be told, sexism usually ISN'T intentional. which is inheritantly part of the problem. "oh, right right, i just don't think of the girls when we - Andie Aug 15, 13:52 12
        
        It's in the same vein as this. -- (link) - Tim Aug 15, 15:15
        
        I dunno. The guy medals in a specific event (I don't know if this particular tennis player also plays doubles). He just became the first to get two - oblique Aug 15, 13:55 9
        
        I wouldn't say he's a sexist reporter. I would say he's emblematic of the sexism ingrained in the realm of sports reporting. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 15, 13:58
        
        because tennis is tennis. and males singles is a sub category. You don't say "you are the first person to win two medals in swimming!" and only mean one event. -- nm* - Andie Aug 15, 13:56 7
        
        well, yeah, but that's kinda the point. It's so obvious a goofball statement, why is it attributed to sexism instead of "dude, you KNOW he's not the - oblique Aug 15, 13:58 6
        
        having to explain why ignoring women's achievements is sexist is kind of disheartening, i have to tell you. -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 13:59 5
        
        It seems like a flimsy thing to latch onto in this case. There are so many more legit examples than a guy fairly obviously dropping "singles" from - oblique Aug 15, 14:02 4
        
        It's not. And accept that some if us have a much better grip on what's sexist because we face it regularly. -- nm - . Aug 15, 14:32
        
        It's the implied and subtle forms of sexism that make it so pervasive. Almost everyone sees the blatant - jnine Aug 15, 14:11
        
        We must tackle the obvious and the non-obvious.. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 15, 14:09
        
        I don't think it is obvious, is the point. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 14:03
        
        Right. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 15, 13:52
      - it's a slam on women when you are a sports reporter and you basically disregard female players by posing a statement that neglects to include them. - Andie Aug 15, 13:50
      - He's a sports reporter, his job is to know this shit. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:49
- nice. -- (edited) - Andie Aug 15, 13:40
