Yeah Paul VI! My old high school reping! Derrickson's freshman year was my senior year and he was a beast then playing in the WCAC (which is the best high school basketball conference in the country). Gotta believe he has only improved in the past two years. Howard transferred to PVI the year after I graduated so can't comment on him

No, I wouldn't use them in public because someone would take it out of context. I'm not gonna go up to Derrick Hopkins after a game at McComas and say "good game nigga" because he might take it out of context and rip me in half. The risk doesn't meet the reward, but that doesn't mean the comment is racist. It just means that I don't want to take the chance of someone misunderstanding me.

The NFL technically doesn't make any money. The individual teams do, the NFL just oversees the functioning of the league. Or something like that, I'm not a lawyer so I could be completely wrong.

you're still using friends as an example though. My friends call me offensive names too. that's not a context that can correlate to anything other than you and your friends. As you say, you wouldn't use those terms in public so they are not "just words" as you stated previously.

The idea that the NFL is tax-empt anyway is completely rediculous. They make billions of dollars every year, in mammoth stadiums that the tax-payers pay for, and in which they over-charge us for everything and keep all the profits. Why should these guys be tax-exempt?

For the record, I am a redskins fan, and feel like the name should be changed. It's not going to impact how I root for the team, and the name is obviously in poor taste. Imagine if someone tried to start a team today with that name - they'd be boo-ed out of the league. Just please please please make it better than the Wizards.

I wouldn't use it because I know people would take it out of context. I have a friend that was calling me a "sand nigger" at a party. Obviously I don't care but some girl standing near us turned around and said to him that it's offensive. Also, I wouldn't say any of those words in public because it sounds unintelligent, just like cussing in public.

It's freaking awesome that while I get my dose of #AllHokieEverything I can get a weather forecast AND updates on the cake vs. pie (cake all the way) debate. So THANK YOU for posting.

What's it looking like for the DC area? Chuck Bell and Tom Kierein just keep forecasting rain...

Agreed. These are some seriously weak contenders.

where's the chocolate lava cake, Mississippi mud cake, rhubarb pie? And what about savory pies, like chicken pot pie or Australian meat pie (no innuendo intended)?

well I'm conflicted...growing up in Central Va I didn't get the amount of snow that causes people to absolutely hate it (like Michigan, Minnesota et al) so I LOVE snow and lots of it. I had a blast in the 30 inches we had around Christmas '09. Since moving down to Asheville (2010) I have only seen about 2 snowfalls that I would consider real snow (4-8") and it's been really boring for the last 2 years. We had a couple inches a week ago or so and it was the best snowfall I've seen here since the '10-'11 winter (sad, I know). All that being said, a large snow storm would generally be really exciting for me, BUUUT...my GF is supposed to be coming down from NOVA to visit for Valentines day weekend...if the roads suck that likely won't happen. I was about to be super pissed if VA got hammered, preventing her from coming down, but NC got nothing. That would be a double whammy for me..not getting to see her AAAAND not getting any snow to show for it....If we get a foot of snow it will soften the sting of not seeing the lil lady

Ideally, the storm doesn't turn out to be what everyone is saying it will, and I'll get to see her this weekend. Honestly, for the first time in my life, I actually don't want it to snow

I don't know how any proud member of #TeamPie can take pride in a result where their winning entry was cake. Also Ice Cream Cake would've DOMINATED red velvet in the Elite 8 and would've most certainly beat cheesecake for the win.

Let's also remember the context of the football team is the general public. Not within the company of a few friends your comfortable with, or family members, or whatever. If you believe it's okay to say in private, that doesn't make it okay to say publicly.
