Is it though. If we want to believe that our athletes should be seen as role models, this is the exact behavior to be modeled.

What the everliving fuck is this shit.

I mean, the NFL doesn’t think they can. Remember a few years ago when a kicker/punter actually tackled a guy and hte NFL hit him with a “random” PED test?

So are we just conceding that tackling is not a skill we require in kickers?

What’ya mean kind of?  Marty and Norv...  They had straight up deadly teams and they paddy-caked their way into being a misfiring nerf gun.

In all honesty, I kind of low-key root for these sorry saps. Like, wouldn’t it be nice if the Fuckers just did the damn thing and win the super bowl? Because, right now, they are the leagues most consistent source of blue balls and it's kind of sad. 

“Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Chargers.”

It sucks that the incel neckbeards of the internet have poisoned a legitimate discussion to be had about the relationship between theme and character in the traditional Hero’s Journey. Because while you can have a character who is basically-perfect from the outset, you do have to recognize that’s what you’re doing,…

I *think* the foe of the new trilogy is the rigid dogma and societal structures that make people believe they are either one or the other to begin with. I believe that’s what they were setting up in Last Jedi which is why I am one of it’s staunchest defenders. I also know I could be giving it waaaaay too much credit…

If they had characters called Easily Spreadable Measles Medusa and Can’t See the Curve in the Horizon Jerry then sure?

Well the problem is (and this is my nit with JJ Abrams) is that Kylo is incredibly powerful when it looks cool (sensing and freezing a blaster-bold mid-air) and kinda sucky when the plot demands it. Almost like somebody didn’t think things through from a character perspective and instead did the 12 year old, “wouldn’t…

That was a truly travolting mispronunciation.

For food we had: Steak. Burgers. Bar-b-que. Pizza. Beer. Soda. Milkshakes. Mari-fucking-juana. A DJ. Ice cream cake.

Why, do the boxes taste better? 

I have a feeling there’s a direct correlation between terrible takes and people who will eat anything, even if it tastes like shit since in their stupid take zone food doesn’t have to be good, it’s there to give me CALORIES to LIVE.

“Call me a bed bug, will you? Well just for that I’m going to get super annoying and relentless, invading your personal space. WHO IS THE BED BUG NOW?”

The tastiest part of all is that it happened because Stephens manually searched for his name on Twitter.

Being paid large sums of money to write the same three columns over again, occasionally punctuated with one on how people are mean to him on Twitter, and then complaining to the manager is worthy of a lifetime achievement award in White Privilege.

I just re-joined Twitter like a month ago after a multi-year absence, and barely use it, but this whole situation has delighted me to no end.
