In the end, he still will not have learned anything and you won't be paying me to review 101 emails from a disgruntled customer.

Are you a writer on Mad Men?

Today it seems Hailey dumped Jon for cheating on her.

Poll from ESPN.com:

Jordan: 50%
Ruth 29%
Ali: 21%

Strange results (to me). If someone asked me to guess the outcome of this poll, I would have put Jordan third, not first. Ali would be No. 1.

That pro boxing has turned into a joke of a sport has hurt Ali's legacy somewhat.

Those polls generally suck because they're often done in conjunction with some other event relating to one possible answer. Jordan is being inducted into the HOF tomorrow. If you ran the poll after Ali lit the torch, he'd be number one. Ruth wins if they'd run the poll after Bonds broke either his home run total or Aaron's.

Well, that too.

But when's the next heavyweight title fight? Where's it being held? Hell, name one of the current holders of a HW belt (or even all of the current sanctioning bodies), without googling. 30 years ago, that stuff was pretty common knowledge; now its a niche.

"any size head is beautiful"

There is only one extraneous word there. Not bad for the Onion.

True. And other than that goofy ad for whatever with Ruth "calling" the shot, billions of people around the world have not been exposed to the Babe like they have been forced to be like Mike.

That guy is such a bitchtard. I hate him.

Oh - he also said that it "doesn't matter" whether his actions affect his children. No, I'm sure your public statements against their mother, your multiple "girlfriends" during your marriage and while your divorce is pending, and your public partying and general douchbagginess will have no effect whatsoever on your eight kids. And I respect your selfishness in not caring one way or the other.

I never paid attention to these people until the divorce announcement. At first I thought Kate was the worst but Jon appears to go out of his way to be the walking definition of a douchebag.

They both need to stop telling their side of the story on national TV and put their kids before their own interests. And probably they both need to be slapped upside the head a few times as well just so they get the point.

Have not watched their reality show and don't intend to.

At Visionworks, I can get two pair of single-vision, plastic lenses frames with clear, single-vision impact resistant lenses for $99. I can have the discount place call my eye doctor for my prescription, right? Are plastic lenses okay?

I'm going to get my backup glasses at Costco. Even though they don't have the geeky retro frames that the dad on Heroes wears. I don't want to spend a lot of money on glasses that will rarely be seen outside my house.

They've made a ton of money by not following that advice. What makes you think that they're going to follow it now?

I agree! Oh, that guy burns me up. I wanted to like him and give him the benefit of the doubt and try to understand the pressure he has been under and how hard it would be for a kind of a dim trashy dude with a kind of unpleasant wife and like thirty two kids or whatever to be constantly under the watchful eye of the television camera. I did. But now he has gone too far.

I. Totally. Hate. Him. !.

I think what is the worst is he really let me down. He could have realized his mistake and asked for forgiveness and I would have forgiven him. But it is almost as if he is saying: "I am just some random trashy dude who is only on TV because of some freak of nature and fertility drugs and there is nothing otherwise particularly compelling about me so I am just going to use my fame to party a lot and fuck a lot of chicks and the joke is on the losers who watch my show and actually care one way or another about what some idiot who happens to have fifty seven kids does with his personal life."

Or something like that.
