Yesterday my market had the Chicago-Jacksonville game on, and through a masochistic combination of in-law’s favorite team (Bears) and fantasy football starter (Julius Thomas), I actually sat through almost an entire Jacksonville game (occasional commercial break flips over to Lions-Rams, too).

Obama and Boehner drank and smoked together plenty, they just did it more in commiseration, as they could never get any bills passed thanks to the GOP bomb-throwers and the racist party base those people represented. The hateful theatrics between the two of them were almost totally for show, and likely a major reason…

I get what he’s saying, though: I’m not on Facebook, but virtually my entire family and every friend I’ve ever made in my life is, while I use Twitter regularly but I personally know maybe ten people non-professionally that are regular, active Twitter users.

That guy’s name isn’t really “Lockhart Steele,” is it?

Literally every story I’ve read or watched about this has mentioned that the cop who shot him is black. Every single one of them, and I live on the other side of the country.

Were you watching in the ‘90s? I’m just curious. After 25 years at this, including being the worst franchise in all of sports over an entire decade and seven separate playoff flame-outs of varying degrees of pain and heartache, the worst being the most recent, you also might come to not care that much anymore, and…

After the way last season ended, I’ve made a firm commitment not to give this team my heart and soul again until they win a playoff game*. 10-6 don’t mean a thing if they all shit themselves the second weekend of January. In years past after a win like this, I’d have been drunk as hell with a jersey on in a bar, going…

Remember when Drew Magary borrowed this exact bit from you and did it 32 separate times over the past six and a half weeks? With some of these same dudes, including the very first one?

I about had a new Great Moments in Poop History on seeing the bottom half of that Schilling meme. Well done, sir. Welcome back, Jambaroo.

Absolutely perfect response in its total missing of the actual point to talk shit and feel superior about something completely inconsequential.

Heard a great way to think about Black Lives Matter the other day:

You remember his college career? He came in as the slobbered-over first-ever Freshman picked to be on the Preseason All-American Team, and while he was ACC Rookie of the Year, he was perfectly average, didn’t accomplish shit of actual note, and was a MASSIVE disappointment compared to other dudes hyped to that level…

I understand that. Everyone’s busy, everyone has stuff going on. I hope your friends are there for you the way you need them to be. Some of ours were, and some of ours weren’t. Friendship is hard, and life moves very, very fast. I also hope I’m who my friends need me to be, when they need me to be it.

A lot of you in these comments are being pretty unfair to your friends with kids. I know nothing says that you have to have a kid, and that no one should do it until they’re ready. But there’s no being totally ready for it, and the broader culture’s sense of propriety regarding an individual American’s approach to…

Hmm. I watch as much of every major as possible and have since like 2006, and I had no idea this was a thing. I love him. He’s possibly the most fit athlete in any sport in the entire world, is absolutely devoted to murdering everybody, and is super entertaining to watch. Furthermore, the crowds at the majors seem to…

Difference being those dudes gave up their primes to go fight, whereas Ali gave everything up to NOT fight (and fighting was his profession). It’s a subtle but major difference, and one I point to with no intention of denigrating those other great men’s service and sacrifice. But Ali is a civil rights,…

This year, Pittsburgh is playing Tampa Bay and San Jose just beat St. Louis, whereas last year the Rangers were involved in the East, and Chicago played Los Angeles (well, Anaheim, but still) in the West, and both series went seven games. This year’s playoffs just didn’t break right for big ratings, and the league has…

This is probably going to be his last “trot out the big name!” piece on The Undefeated, right?

I’m going to send you the bill to replace my computer when it blows up here in five minutes on the heels of running all those consecutive wide-screen auto-playing GIFs, you fucker.

“They’re getting contributions from reserves and bench players...”
