The guy’s dealing with a real burden here - being the best and worst at everything on the team, being the most and least valuable player, etc. I’d like to give him credit for his hard work in preserving the team’s status as still being a more reasonable, appealing idea for a Las Vegas sports team than the Raiders.

Seeing as he looks like a slob fell sideways through one of the Joseph A. Bank outlets that shuttered after the merger with Men’s Wearhouse; rose to prominence at the head of an obnoxious, headline-grabbing organization; and used his millions in business, which would have been more if he weren’t constantly having bad…

Pete Carroll will be withholding a one-notch increase in the emotion dial on Wilson’s control terminal as punishment for this.

Figures a rich guy who loves pretending to be a rock star would side with the rich guy who loves pretending to be...

Well, I wanted to go with “movie star”, but ol’ Tangerine Nightmare pretends to be an awful lot of things.

When they were initially brainstorming ahead of this episode, someone suggested “Beetlejuice”, and they misheard it as “belittle Jews”

Wow. At the beginning, I thought the word “grifter” was kind of colorful, a very “television guide summary of a domestic psychological thriller” word, but as the piece elaborated on the situation, its use became entirely appropriate for that exact reason. Jesus frickin’ Christ, what a character.

Possible sociopath has reproduced, threatens to reproduce again

I find it funny that a man who sounds and acts like Political Foghorn Leghorn is so fond of chickenhawks.

Oh man, and those are only the fees. My alma mater did the same thing -- chop up the cost of attendance into dozens of different ways to charge you money, leaving the official tuition looking perfectly reasonable all on its own. That was because the state college system had to hand over its revenues to the state and…

This is sad. The Herbie movies were one of the passions my mom shared with me and my sister growing up, in a roster of fun 60s/70s faff including stuff like That Darned Cat!, and we bonded over how silly and fun they are, even though at a certain point they begin blending together. People who skip to just pissing all…

Yeah, even relatively speaking — do people who cover/pay attention to/follow/etc junior league hockey (with attached caveats for regionality, inter-team organization/hierarchy) know anything about these guys, either?

I can’t wait for the longform piece about the cumulative failure of responsibility that made the longform oral history of the hot tweet about satellite camps possible, and then the wincing, humiliated mea culpa/postmortem from the publisher nearly two months after that.

Well, at least Workman is actually giving her daughter something helpful here: additional proof of how astonishingly petty, un-self-aware, and outright vile she is.

I recommend ‘Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man’ — ‘Michael Rockefeller’ is an amazing track (not to mention the best-ever song about a dead Rockefeller), and it has their dense, thrumming cover of ‘Johnny B. Goode’.

Yes! Finally, someone else who loves Guadalcanal Diary! I can’t remember where I got into them (it’s either someone shared ‘Where Angels Fear To Tread’ with me, or I found their borderline apocalyptic-sounding cover of ‘Johnny B. Goode’, because I love covers), but I love their work to pieces. ‘Where Angels Fear to…

No-oooone fibs like Gaston, or ad-libs like Gaston, no-one’s as historic'ly glib as Gaston

This is really gonna shake things up for Hudson News airport outlets across the USA.

Once, sometime between about 1999 and 2001-ish, my family and I returned from a day trip to find a Charlotte Hornets-branded towel in our driveway. Just, like, lying there rumpled up, like an especially strong wind had blown it there.

We washed it and kept it, and I think it’s still in the house somewhere.

Anyways,…

Hold on, I’ve called 911 and they’re going to send a SWAT team to your house to rescue you from whoever’s holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read articles you’re not interested in

Fall birthdays are nice. In K-12, they take the edge off of going back to school by giving you something to look forward to, and even November birthdays are far enough away from Christmas that, if your family members have the means, you won’t get stiffed.

Once you’re in college, if you go after high school, it gives…
