It’s pitiful that Adam Rippon is considered a “Star” and invited onto the show... Just because he’s gay. Never accomplished anything. Should celebrate the gold medalists not people who don’t medal (and no the team bronze doesn’t really count for him).

Representing the US in the Olympics isn't accomplishing anything? He's probably a bigger "star" than a cornerback for a bad football team.

Try not to sound like such a dumb bigot.

I guess it comes down to how "star" is defined: accomplishment or recognition by the public.

this is very true

It's easy to forget on a message board where we all have equal footing. If you were to talk to these people in real life, one look at them and hearing their voice it's like, "ohhhh ok this person is actually semi-retarded...carry on".

I don't understand complaining about Rippon.  He was a big story and US face of the recent Olympics.  This is a athletes edition of Dancing with the Stars.  He's an athlete.  

I'm not a fan of Tonya Harding being allowed on the show though.  I'm not against her making a living but she shouldn't be allowed to be in contests featuring Athletes.  She wants to write a book, fine.  Make a movie, fine.  Compete with people who didn't resort to violence off the field is just wrong.  She should never be grouped with fellow athletes for anything again.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
