I saw that episode of Friends. It ended badly for Ross.

This entire video is ridiculous and pathetic.

Paul Krugman would never be associated with anything entitled "Trickle Down Economics."

Yep. Being a sports fan at a time when one of your team's players is accused of something loathsome is a really awkward and uncomfortable experience. I follow my alma mater's football team, and it's incredibly awful to read a bunch of responses to sexual assault accusations that essentially boil down to, "Hey,…

Well...you're getting sued.

Dammit, Toufanian. Way to besmirch a proud and noble first name.

Back in the dark days of dial-up internet, before checking the score of a game I was interested in took all of two seconds on the team website and I could follow along in real-time with some sort of graphical interface, I used to watch so much crap on ESPN2 just to catch the score on the ticker.

Magic: The Gathering…

That really was just an astonishingly bad column. I kept waiting for Florio to articulate some kind of argument or, you know, point, beyond, "I have a son and you don't, so nah nah," and it never happened. It's as if there was a second page that got cut in editing.

I take full responsibility.

"I've never really understood the word 'party.' It's just two syllables, but it's awfully confusing. 'Par' seems to promise a perfectly average round of golf, while 'tea' at least indicates there'll be something to drink at the affair. Not that I should really be drinking tea at my age, you understand. Not very…

These are the ugliest damn shoes I've ever seen.

Exactly. Who was the guy at Goldman Sachs, for example, who didn't understand exactly what would happen with an #AskGoldmanSachs hashtag?

I've done the I-70 through western Kansas trek many times in order to visit family in Kansas City. It's hard for me to believe there's any stretch of road more boring or more depressing.

I laughed way too hard at the passive-aggressive, "Oh, I didn't know my grandson was a homophobe."

Some people want to meet Aaron Paul so he can call them a bitch. Me? I just want to meet Lena Headey so I can say something stupid and she can arch her eyebrows in exasperation.

Lena Headey, Dean of the Academy of Eyebrow Acting.

Really fascinating piece, Greg.

Hard to overstate how excited I am about this. I've been begging for a French Revolution AC since the end of the Ezio Trilogy.

Yes. He used to shoot a flare gun when he wanted to summon the hosts of Language to fight for him.

There was a point in my younger days when I actually enjoyed reading Will. I didn't agree with him, of course, but it was always fun to read someone with a flare for language. And as a college language douchebag, I got some thrills out of his unapologetically elitist attitude.

I'm coming to this as something just shy of a complete soccer ignoramus, but are three goalkeepers traditional for World Cup rosters? You need a back-up, obviously, but my knee-jerk, un-informed reaction is that a third keeper is about as risk averse as taking three catchers into a postseason series.
