The problem with The Ringer happened in it’s inception. When Simmons, Fennessy, Ryan, and Litman sat down to conceive the site, I feel like they fundamentally misread the marketplace. The idea that people want shorter, lighter, more disposable content to read on their phones might be true across the internet, but it’s…

The righteous, reflexive indignation aimed at anything Bill Simmons utters or (infrequently) writes these days makes me laugh. I’m old enough to remember when Bill Simmons was nearly universally hailed by those who mattered as the best, most innovative voice for the times as the interwebs came of age. His brand of…

Knowing the Patriots (and the Browns), Collins is probably riddled with tapeworms, cocaine, or a combination thereof.

I want to tell her to calm down but then I think about the seething existential rage I experience at people that walk three wide in hallways and amble, or left lane hogs, or people that take too long to use the sugar/cream station at Starbucks, or people that forgot the form at the Post Office, or try and get on the…

Snitches get stitches in the stands then I guess? I’d have thought someone would have sat on the guy. I mean, they know you can’t do that, right?

I HATE having to buy a new vacuum every year or two!

Yeah, but those ladies still pay the uterus tax, which means their athleticism is simply not the best. No offense and I totally support ladies’ sports, but it’s not competitive with guys.

At least he went out doing what matters, playing in a pre-season game.

Hey, the English have been punching the Irish for hundreds of years, and suddenly now it’s not okay.

Reminds me of a quote from some article on internet fight videos that I read many moons ago. Something like, “When your opponent puts his chin low, his hands high, and takes an athletic stance, you may have answered the question of the day wrong."

I prefer to think of Montana roads as a quantum superposition of two states.

I deserve that.

I like Simmons and I like Deadspin’s attacks on him. It is all good.

I have come to the conclusion that “what car” questions are fun debate starter kits but otherwise useless. This is because no car choice comes unburdened from the chooser’s underlying deeply-held philosophy of car ownership. And by philosophy, I mean of course religion, because everyone is free to have their own but…

Now to persuade Jim Tomsula to move out of the big suitcase.

Some people can’t help invading your space due to size, and that’s just the risk you take when you fly.

Ok, then maybe they need to do suicides before shooting free throws. Look at successful free throw shooters, see what they do. I think it was Diana Terasi would shoot them until she made 50 straight. I can’t believe big men would only shoot poorly because it took them too long to get training, which frankly would be…

As a partner in a dual-income, child-free, household... I will get out of bed whenever I feel like it this Saturday, and make us both a nice breakfast/brunch... probably with booze. I will contemplate your great sufferings, middle-class parents - possibly after engaging in living-room sex.

Lowest point in his career since Val Venis banged his sister.
