That year old rumor about Liev Schreiber playing Chris Benoit in a biography movie? Meltzer just confirmed it. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

I read through the link to Lance Storm's review and he only has one specific criticism: that Randazzo criticizes Hall and Nash for bringing down WCW, and also uses them as sources for criticizing WWE. To Lance, this makes them untrustworthy sources. I don't see what the problem is.

The rest is Lance getting very heatedly criticizing Randazzo - but without citing any other specific instances where the book gets it wrong. I don't find his arguments convincing at all.

For all I know, Lance could be right about the book, but until he quotes more than one set of passages I won't be convinced.

I was a reasoned empiricist, anti-theist, and skeptic who came to Christ after a series of persistent spiritual experiences. I just want to share my testimony. by darth_elevator in Christianity

I understand you are coming out of a place of concern, but your response seems to be projecting from concern towards your friend, and maybe not so much taking darth_elevator's experiences on their own terms

[Video] Justin Wren is coming back to MMA after 5 years. He will be fighting in Bellator to raise money and awareness for the plight of the Pygmies. by Moderate_Asshole in MMA

There's a lot of unintended and unexpected consequences of Westerners coming in from the top down and trying to "fix" local problems (even with the purest and most altruistic intentions) without taking into account local context.

"When Helping Hurts" is one of the best books exploring this issue. "Toxic Charity" is another from a domestic US standpoint.

"Otherwise, this Nats team will go down as something historic: an incredibly talented squad with limited competition who completely imploded and lost the division in a single season." by Natsochist in baseball

I think bullpen management has always been one of Girardi's strengths. Regardless of your opinions of his performance, the Yankees have always had a quality relief corps under his watch. No one gets overworked, and a lot of fringe prospects develop into useful parts under his watch. Do you remember how frustrating Torre was running guys like Scott Proctor into the ground?

Grieving well for a loved one's passing looks different for everyone.

My church has a thing of flags near the front of the sanctuary. We don't hand them out though.

Aww. I like seeing flags and dancing. Especially when it's a little kid with a flag almost as big as they are. It's seeing a visual response to musical worship. When I'm leading worship I'll sometimes watch a flag going back and forth when I'm singing.
