    Now with AI if Taylor Swift is not dancing in the skybox for your team they can just generate the video to show she is there.
    Claim is more money is spent watching video games then on the NFL. Go to a stadium and watch the big screen while two nerds battle it out. At least NFL has players out off the bench and moving more then their thumbs.

    Hmmmm...
    Tough call here.

    On one hand, we have the enormously irritating "Ickey Shuffle". (which as a Cleveland Browns fan at the time I saw way too often )

    On the other hand, had there been no Ickey Shuffle - there would never have been one of the better and funniest (IMHO) TV commercials ever.

    As is so often the case these days, it was drugs, drugs and more drugs.

    Boy, that's the truth. We have a pretty small circle of family and friends. I counted 5 overdose deaths.

    Back to Taylor-Travis phenomenon, imagine if today’s social media extravaganza had existed when DiMaggio was dating Marilyn? Anarchy

    That's a good point. I really don't get the hate for the modern couple. Why can't it just be two people, who happen to be famous, caring for each other?

    Easy. It's all clickbait. A lot of professional "pot"-stirrers out there making a buck on the internet.

    Not sure how much money is involved, at least directly. Most of what I've seen is artificial political outrage and response.
    Can't say more, for obvious reasons.
    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
    We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.
    The three most important words in the English language: "Front Towards Enemy".
    The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
    You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.

    It does at least calibrate the relative cultural importance of Swift vs Munn/Patrick/Woodley.
    (Or, more on-topic, Kelce vs Rodgers. )

    She sure seems like a very sincere human being to me. I just can't hate her.

    Social media pundits and even sites like this one, typically have sponsorship ads that pays them based on the number of clicks they get. Thus generating artificial outrage makes money.

    I couldn't agree more. She is a wonderful role model for young girls coming of age. And anyone really.

    This explains a LOT about our current culture and culture wars.
