When Meg was shot in July the distrust of the LAPD was at an all time high and the mood in this city was HEATED. For months all you saw on TV were the cops go after protesters and attack them like they were all criminals. I don’t blame her one bit, they could have treated her as an accomplice or accessory to a crime…

I think a lot of the sensationalism happens because the True Crime genre tends to focus on murder which essentially turns the whole case into a mystery. Like you, my parents were also on the front lines of crime: my mom worked in law enforcement her whole life and my dad was a social worker in Family Services. Murder…

I started on Jez, got my star on Gawker from Denton himself after I made a dick joke I’ve long forgotten but Deadspin is the only one that stuck. I barely knew anything about sports before I started reading here but Drew’s columns sucked me in because they DIDN’T stick to sports so were very accessible to Boner…

Carson Wentz looks like if Sid from Toy Story grew up to be an assistant branch manager at Wells Fargo

If the Lions had won they would be in first place for the NFC North and now this loss puts them last in their division - no wonder people are losing their minds. Trey Flowers has never been penalized for a hands to the face call his whole career. Booger, who is often bizarre and inappropriate, is being lauded as a…

For food based SNL sketches I have to give a shout out to Totinos with Kristen Stewart. A commercial for pizza rolls turns into a smoking hot existential lesbian conundrum with Vanessa Bayer speaking French and smiling through her tears.

It’s been proven time again that Americans love ‘cause marketing’ like: a portion of the proceeds from this cup of coffee go toward supporting environmental causes. Really? How much? Who? And what do they do with the money? Vague and unprovable statements like this still give a jolt of do-gooder feels and have been…

We have MEET CUTES! 

100% agree. Take a few nice pics at the wedding of the couple or their family or all your friends or you with any combo of the above. Send them with a card and a note that says, “So glad we could share this beautiful day with you! Thank you for inviting us to make priceless memories with you.” It’s so glossy and…

They really are especially because they now let you challenge a no-call.  No one can relax, everyone is now a ref and they’ve tricked us into screaming for MORE penalties. 

The Hot Take Industrial Complex is nowhere near done with AB

Ponderously uppity football speak is balanced out by full on sexual innuendo football speak. “Pounded from behind,” “no trouble filling that the hole,” “great penetration” and anytime Clinton-Dix is on the field. I’m actually somewhat troubled by the dehumanizing language getting popular now with referring to men as…

You are not weak. They are given to teens and young adults who haven’t even had a drink yet and all of a sudden they are introduced to medical grade heroin after a trip to the dentist or an injury on the field. Over the last 20 years, I’ve seen lives destroyed in real time. My former boss who turned to cocaine after…

HEAR IT FROM DOLPHINS FANS!

Dogs named Ruffell Wilson and Paw Paw Clinton-Dix are safe for now.  As is Tom Brady since he’s already a fancy dog named Tom Brady. 

Can someone please explain to me what a video game werewolf with no pants and mold on his shoulder and wrists has to do with the New Orleans Gumbo Chuggers? 

Parents were health-nuts plus our household was dairy free so I didn’t taste mac and cheese till I went off to college. Was dying to try this American staple comfort food that the Barenaked Ladies raved about how they would still eat Kraft Dinner even if they had a million dollars. I did not read the directions; I did…
