Most of my Cub fan friends were supportive but relatively agnostic in 2005. They weren’t going out and buying Astros hats or anything like that.

Ok that’s fair, I guess. Hadn’t thought of that.

Will’s wife failed. The 6 year old is old enough to corral the other two in the outer area of the McDonald’s bathroom long enough for her to pee.

Huh, I just realized I’m a reasonable eight-year-old.

It’s funny...we forget that they were actually up in game 7. But it never felt possible that they’d win that game.

Can’t recall actually crying, but I stopped watching sports altogether after Northwestern lost the Rose Bowl. Weeks upon weeks of buildup, the concocting of scenarios where they could actually win the national championship (see, if they win big, and this team squeaks by this other team...), the “wow, how far we’ve…

I get lost in the weeds on this argument, because I struggle with what we’re trying to accomplish. Are we doing this (in this scenario “this” equals barring Greg Hardy from playing football) to punish him or to make ourselves feel better? Hear me out...

I’m really glad the ESPN cameras didn’t show it, and that play started right up again. Because if we’d had to endure a minute plus of the announcers chastising the kid (#74) for losing his cool and not maintaining composure, followed by the tape of Bielema, followed by another minute of them praising the wily veteran…

Mine is not so much a story of gluttony as it was a cautionary tale that i was the kind of person who might be able to get there. I was driving to my parents’ house about 6 hours away, and stopped after about 2 hours to get gas and some food. The Arby’s next to the gas station was having a 5 for $5 sale, so sure, ok,…

Yeah no, I think Simmons hired Pierce as a “Team of Rivals” type move, to show he wasn’t as thin skinned as he really is. Pierce knows sports-wise, he can write for anybody whenever he feels like it.

Pierce has a day job, and never really liked Simmons.

Baltika 6 ain’t bad tho...

I said that. Had a 42” that was too big for the room. We have an oddly shaped living room so the sofa ends up being only a few feet away from the screen. That TV died, we went to the 37” and it’s sooooo much better. But your point is probably maintained with an asterisk.

Bengals fan here...

No offense, but if he’s a chemtrailer or an Alex Joneser, he’s probably already insufferable.

Also the weird radio-stations-start-with-K thing...

Pacific is a double -edged sword, though, because sure MNF is happy hour TV and the early games are already about to start when you get up, but what do you watch when you’re up late?

Sure, but it’s like...after 25 years, you’d think the message would get through...

Also, yes, we get it, Hawaii is awesome.

I would be willing to cut a modicum of slack if we or they were in one of those DST-denying places. But no. Always one hour.
