I'll grant you that one Dylan cover was pretty good. My singer-songwriter cousin, who's also not a Mumford/Indie-folk fan, liked it so much that he covered that cover at a house concert shortly after it was released.
Not that I defend a Sooner with any regularity. But if the screenshots of Mateer's payments are true, and they really had the tag "Sports Gambling" attached to them, I can see that as a really poor attempt at humor, and not evidence of illegal sports betting. Or, he's one of the dumbest mother fucking gamblers to have ever been awarded an athletic scholarship.
The deep frying in oils certainly make it much worse than sliced potatoes that are baked in the oven.
And I enjoy a side of fries every now and then. But the problem with fries is that a large chunk of the American consumer (1) eats these at a higher frequency than once or twice a month, and (2) eats these along with a main, like a loaded burger or greasy sandwich, that is just as bad if not worse than the fries (and hey, throw in a Coke while you're at it).
I don't mean to declare a war on french fries. But they are an anchor for a lot of shitty diets in our country.
