I don’t much like cats, so I’m tempted to make some smart-ass comment, but yes, not killing your girlfriend’s beloved kitten is definitely an important consideration.

When I was growing up, my mom and sister always urged me to send flowers to a woman’s office. But then, my mom is definitely the sort who would enjoy the attention. And it’s definitely an advanced move- you have to feel pretty damn confident in things if you’re playing the office flowers card.

He doesn’t have the tenure yet to join this august group, but Chase Daniel has a pretty nice thing going. Spent three years backing up Drew Brees, throwing a total of nine passes, then signed a three-year, $10 million contract with the Chiefs. Backed up Alex Smith and started two games in two years- both in the last…

Hey, look at Dalton’s nifty yards per rushing attempt in the playoffs.

Suggs does raise a good point: running the zone-read with Sam Bradford is a...curious idea. He wasn’t particularly nimble in college, and that was six years and 100 injuries ago.

Does Saban ever experience joy?

Of all the baffling things the Chiefs have done since I became a fan, I don’t think any was more incomprehensible than the decision to elevate Romeo Crennel from interim to full-time head coach in 2012. You had seasons worth of evidence that the guy wasn’t an NFL head coach, but he won a couple games with the interim…

I’ll confess a soft spot for Alex Smith, who’s a paragon of self-awareness while playing a position that always fetishizes the “gunslinger” mentality. Alex doesn’t think he can thread the needle with that pass between three defenders- he knows damn well he can’t, so he’s not going to try. He looks for an open…

Hey, remember when Jason Whitlock wrote a whole column about how unacceptably fat Serena Williams was? That was fun.

This sounds a lot like Danny Collins, which injected just enough subtlety and nuance to make a bunch of fairly standard story beats cohere into something worth watching.

Well, the game is objectively lower-scoring than it was back in 2001, which is not really more or less “fun-” that’s a matter of personal preference. On the other hand, we have more strikeouts than ever and the ball is being put into play far less often, which is pretty universally regarded as a bad thing.

The best part is AJ looking up at the umpire in disbelief after not getting the call.

So, Yasiel Puig...taken all in all, what’s the verdict on him?

There are a quite a few ZZ Ward songs that are great for this purpose- “Charlie Ain’t Home” and “Blue Eyes Blind” come to mind.

There’s nothing more annoying than a jackass who gets off on his own sense of martyrdom and bravery.

With the advantage of hindsight, perhaps the funniest thing in those quotes is Cowherd holding up Rajon Rondo as a paragon of mature, controlled leadership and point guard play.

I’m not a huge Bill Simmons fan, but a network that fires him, desperately tries to retain Colin Cowherd and gears up to throw millions of dollars at Skip Bayless is a network which long ago fucked up its priorities.

it would seem almost impossible to fuck it up again.

Oh, Peter Dinklage. I’m so, so sorry, man. I guess it’s a long time between Game of Thrones seasons.

My lady friend and I got heckled once after having sex with the window open. It was such a lovely autumn night in Colorado, and I completely forgot about the window....
