A doctor on Twitter posted that the reality is that no otherwise healthy 41 year old who presents himself with the symptoms of a sinus infection is going to get a full medical workup, whether it’s Kyle Busch or someone off the street.

This.

It's the month of May, pollen is all over the place down South, and many of us typically start hacking and coughing this time of year. Never in a million years would we immediately think pneumonia in this situation. We'd probably just chalk it up to sinus issues and go on our merry way.

Hindsight is always 20/20, and I'm sure his family is dealing with a bad case of it today.

I don't know why you're laughing. The show ended terribly, I think most of us can agree to that, but that doesn't mean it didn't have an impact on our culture. It was the last TV show prior to COVID that everyone seemed to be watching. People named their children after characters from the series.

Name a more recent show that has had that kind of influence on our culture. I'll wait.

Whoever this was probably was a big fan of the poem, which is why they were buried with it. It also shows just how "Greekified" the Egyptians were by the time of the Romans.

Nah. Johnny Carson's sign off was a sad day but it wasn't the end of a culturally unified America. The monoculture began to disintegrate in the early-00s. There were warning signs, such as the Monica Lewinsky Scandal in 1998 and the 2000 Presidential Election, but things more or less held together until the end of the 00s/beginning of the 2010s. Even then I'd argue that the last of the monoculture shows died with Game of Thrones in 2019.

Columbus never touched foot in what would become the US.

I mean...it's called the "District of Columbia." Who do you think the "Columbia" part of that was named after?

Says that films will never be shot like this ever again. Shot on location, a whole army of people, practical effects, etc.

When you validate the mentally ill instead of treating them, shite like this starts to happen.

OJ's lawyers were very slick but they were scum of the earth human beings.

I could never be a defense lawyer simply due to the fact that, far more often than not, you represent people who are guilty. Despite knowing in your heart of hearts that your client is guilty, you still have to do everything in your power to get them off, because that is the career and livelihood that you have chosen.

I don't fault F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, and Johnnie Cochran for stepping up to represent O.J. Simpson. They were high powered attorneys in a high profile murder trial. Their job was to get their client off and keep him out of prison. They succeeded in doing so.

I think Alabama's nominee for this is undoubtedly Javier Arenas. I know some older fans will cite David Palmer but Arenas put up more yardage, had a higher punt return average, and scored more TDs than the Deuce.
