2015 ESPYs - Talk about Caitlyn Jenner here (1 Viewer)

[Scoresman]

Which do you pick and why?

I think I choose narcolepsy because insomnia gives me anxiety and I hear the drugs narcoleptics get are real good.

 

[TheAristocrat]

I'm going with Insomnia. See if I can see through the crazy like I can see through the drugs I use.

 

[George Jefferson Airplane]

Poll would be more interesting if it was Narcolepsy vs. Insomnia vs one good Cleveland steamer

Done.

 

[Rick James]

Cohle had insomnia and he turned out A-OK.

I would love to have a scrip for provigil. Anybody here ever tried it?

 

[QuizGuy66]

I'll sleep on it and get back to you with an answer.

[Jayrod]

I hate sleeping. Biggest waste of time. I'd much rather be an insomniac.

 

[Jack White]

Both. I think if I was going around banging corpses, I'd have trouble sleeping anyway.

That's a Post of the Day nominee!

Kanye West Will Be on Caitlyn Jenner's New Show

Kanye West has been nothing if not supportive of Caitlyn Jenner since her coming out - he reportedly helped Kim Kardashian grapple with Jenner's transition when he told her, "I'm nothing if I can't be me." Now, in the series premiere of I Am Cait, which airs this Sunday, we'll see the moment when Kanye and Caitlyn first meet.

On the Cleveland Steamer - giving or receiving?

 

[squistion]

Never realized what a transphobe or bigot the OP was in thread formally known as ESPYS. If you look at the early posts after Caitlyn got the award, you can see he is outraged and starting to lose it, so obviously, he couldn't handle people continuing to talk about transgender issues (despite the fact that Jenner was, you know, given the award) so he just changed the thread title and subject matter to shut down discussion. He didn't have the balls to continue (ironic, no?). I don't feel sorry for him, but I certainly have compassion for any unfortunate who might be involved in a relationship.

Robin Roberts Relives Her Emotional Post-ESPY Speech Interview with Caitlyn Jenner

Robin Roberts was the only journalist who talked to Caitlyn Jenner backstage directly following her inspirational ESPY speech and she dished on the experience to ET on Thursday.

"When she came off stage there was this huge sigh of relief from her," Robin told ET. "And not only backstage but the athletes ... there were no snarly looks. There was such respect and they were hanging on every single word."

Caitlyn's new docuseries, I Am Cait, premieres on E! this Sunday, focusing on the Olympic gold medalist's journey since transitioning. Robin weighed in on the show after seeing the trailer.

"She wants to get it right," Robin said. "She's knows there are a lot of people watching and this is a moment that can change the narrative."

Robin has her own harrowing story as her life was saved in 2012 by a bone marrow transplant from her sister Sally. According to Robin, her bone marrow wasn't the only thing that Sally gave her.

"Now I can't get enough of that red velvet cake," Robin said, revealing that she now has her sister's sweet tooth. "I look to Sally and I'm like, 'Thanks a lot.'"

While Robin's spirits were lifted by the athletes at the ESPYS, she found a crop of jocks that are "every bit, if not more so, inspiring" among the competitors of the 2015 Special Olympics.

"Being around these athletes who are competing, and their families, in Special Olympics is a firm reminder that they're like everybody else," Robin, who is hosting the opening ceremonies on Saturday, said. "They celebrate life. They have their highs. They have their lows."

ET host Nancy O'Dell is serving as a Global Ambassador for the Special Olympics this year. She has a personal connection with the games as her Aunt Ellen was a person with Down Syndrome.

"I'm just so appreciative for your aunt," Robin told Nancy. "It made me think -- in the special -- Brooklyn Decker has an aunt who has intellectual disabilities. It's about love and family."
