"We're just such a close family it's hard to process."
father of family after a family member is given a paralysis drug and raped at a show "Kid, shut up about it, this is good PR for us. Remember we're all a family."
So who is in the family I wonder? I guess Brock is family. But Ashley Massaro was not and neither was Janel Ganet. Nor was Rita Chatterton part of "the family." All those ring boys weren't part of "the family" either.
It's kind of like how most companies will tell you this is a "team effort." Who's on the team? Not the workers. Maybe the top executives but no one below that. Not the customers. Not the small owners you sell products to. It turns out "the team" is like five guys and everyone else is blood for the machinery.
I wonder how many people who are going to tell us soon how much of a tightly knit family the WWE is were or are really part of the family? How many really think they are part of the family. I guess the family dog is sort of part of the family. But most families wouldn't do to their pet what these families do to their sons and daughters.

“He told me not to let one bad experience ruin the good work they were doing,” Massaro said of McMahon in the affidavit.
How sick is it that what Vince said to this woman is basically what all the rich famous workers are all asking us to do with all of it.
But it's not one bad experience. Now it's two women who were professionally and efficiently raped that we know of (and some others that we kind of know about...and the many many others that deep down we know about but don't "know" yet).
I repeat my original question. How many gang rapes does it take before we can be okay with ruining the good work of the WWE?
The sane answer was always and remains: 1...1 is enough to tear this company down and for any person who has the slightest human conscience left in them to never have anything to do with it again.
The new answer is: As many as it takes to keep the $$$$ flowing, I guess but I'd rather focus on my Wrestlemania moment right now.
and that's basically the answer you get too from your boss about how many people have to lose their pensions. How many people have to get laid off this week. How many people have to drown in the Rio Grande or the Mediterranean. How many poors have to die of painkiller ODs. How many nurses have to work triple shifts until how many patients live their last days being warehoused like dogs to be put down.
A lot of these situations are far bigger and harder to solve and more difficult to avoid being part of than this one. And few are a simple and clear a line staring us all in the face as this one. And yet we still wait for one human being to emerge from this company and say anything other than "let's not let one bad experience ruin the good work we're doing."

Grammys live from the... Crypto.com Arena?
It makes sense. Buying the naming rights to an arena has always a brilliant use of money considered by only the smartest CEOs.
Why I was just at Guarnateed Rate Field the other day and was zooming with a friend of mine at Enron Stadium about how the new renovations at FTX arena look amazing.

Anyone who is outraged and screaming at the top of their lungs about the Rock ruining their story has made their choice already. Their story is the the more important thing. The company doesn't have to do anything to hold them. They're all on reddit and twitter already doing their best to shout down any news that comes out with "HE"S GONE alREADY!"

I had no idea that was in there. That was a short story they made into a twilight zone ep. Then remade twice in later anthology series before this.
‘man he was phoning this in for a check I guess? -
All of this will look so great in Netflix 4k streaming right after How To Train YouR Dragon.

That and his teammate was Roger Clemens.
In the words of Katt Williams mocking Clemens on his stand up special, "Senator! Senator! I was NEVER on steroids!....I just got bigger and stronger the older I got...."
It used to drive me crazy that Mark McGwire's jsutification was something like "As I got older I was a smarter better hitter so it wasn't fair that I wasn't as fast and strong at the same time so I could be my true self."
MF that is why the game is hard. By the time you get smart at it you aren't young and strong anymore. Every single person lives that in and out of sports. Can you imagine if Ali was as fast in 1979 as he was in 1965? NO ONE gets to do that. That's the point.

If by half price you mean 30% off, then yes. It will always be that price on VS (except during sales).
It were the gummies that ruined my maths.
the gummies and the lead that ruined my maths.
Oh, dear old ma, I didn't mean to draw your wraths.
It were the gummies and the lead what ruined my maths.
my price point for VS used to be that $18 half price #, but so many are pricier 4K now that start out higher than $40 and I see $23 I'm like "close enough!"

I mean even if no one “knew” anything there were so many stories. Not everything in that sleaze thread was made up. And if you got a job at an any other place in the world and heard THAT MANY stories of a certain type how long would you last hearing them pile up before you needed to know before,you could go back?

just watched "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" on TCM and it lives up to it's good reputation
also late in the movie I realized.. "Robert Mitchum in this movie does sorta look like a less doughy Stephen Fry" (edit: upon further reflection, maybe a little Ralph Waite/John Walton Sr too)
My brain registered this as "a less doughy Stephen Furst" and I thought
1) what an odd comparison
2) what would that even have looked like?

I heard Lionel was quoted as saying “He's gone. He's not there. He's gone.”
Yes. Bentley was the one and only pervert in that buidling. But my dear GOd was he a sick man.

Selling all of our sports leagues and networks to online Gambling companies was, in retrospect, the single stupidest thing anyone in charge of anything has done to immediately destroy said thing.

Do you know how much I hate myself right now for knowing who the owner of XPW was?
Like that's messed up. I would not date a man who knew that.
I would not let anyone I know go on a date with a man who knows that.
