COUNTDOWN: 10

When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.

Brian would love this one, actually.

Also, has Urban Meyer offered Usain Bolt a scholarship yet?

I think Timmy is saying “Where the fuck is my defense? Me an’ Percy can’t do this by ourselves.”

A lead with 5:49 to go in the game is hardly a horror.

@3 – More like "Where the HECK is my defense… " etc.

Usain Bolt has da “U” written all over him. Celebrating with 15 m left in a 100 m race? I love it. What jackassery.

Also, is it a bit too much to say China Olympians equal Hitler youth?

I think we could find out the age of a Hitler Youth.

Its not jackassery if you win AND set the world record.

Coach Meyer had that same look on his face after calling a time out to “freeze” Wes Byrum.

Sure he’s a jackass! Why, just because he won now absolves him from being a jackassery jackass. Don’t get me wrong, the guy was insane great, I wish he was my jackass, but the squander the opportunity to lower the WR by projected 0.1 seconds because he decided to chest thump? Yeah, he’s a jackass.
