Wait. Nick Denton writes his own speeches?

Perhaps — what with not living inside Ryan Lambert's butthole — they simply did not realize he posted it first?

I never knew much about fire ants until I moved to Texas. They are everywhere here, and very difficult to remove. There are very few consumer-grade options that kill them. Instead, you're really just relocating their nests from one spot to another. For most of the summer everyone is just working at pushing their fire…

+1. Roberts on top of his game is probably the best talker in the history of wrestling.

What you need to understand about Austin is that no one in Austin is actually from Texas. Everyone in Austin is from Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

The NFL, the two teams, and the fans all have the ability to make an ethical decision over a financial one, in which both the football game could be played (at a later time) and the…
