America’s last great vice? What about voting against one’s self interest? That still seems to turn a lot of people on.

Can’t tell you how many text messages I exchanged with friends seriously worrying about the health of a person I have never met and will likely never meet.

Jesus, man. This is harrowing. Like everyone else in the comments, I’m glad things didn’t go differently.

Counterpoint: It’s not good, and is actually just as bad if not worse than their other bland garbage music, regardless of what we label it.

Yeah, I think I just realized that about myself, too.

My best friend and I share Mike’s problem, though without the weird self-righteous turn at the end. There’s a hyperbolic incredulity, especially if someone doesn’t share life experiences or tastes, that can be a bit alienating. The language used makes it hard to really discern true feelings, or to temper expectations…

Now we’re all wondering if he’s going to make that much more than Chris Davis.

Holy shit, even that list of boring players was boring. 

Yes. John Madden was very entertaining, a proverbial breath of fresh air early in his career, with boisterousness and the attention he paid to the stout men up front instead of focusing on the glamour boys. His energy and love of the game shone through, you couldn’t help but to like him, even for this erstwhile…

As a child of Seattle, have to say that the late, great Dave Niehaus had two of the best catchphrases:

Pens announcer Mike Lange has some of the best catchphrases ever. Some of my favorites include:

For best Catch Phrases in sports broadcasting, you don’t have a single Stuart Scott? I know “Boo-Yah” is kind of cliche, but where the hell is the love for “As cool as the other side of the pillow”? “Call him bus driver ‘cause he was taking them to school”? Those took thought. Those created a level of diss that should…
