God, I would love for this to have been how Cal Ripken’s consecutive games streak came to an end. That would have been delightful. I am an asshole.

Okay sounds good, but can you please go back to analyzing the Kings trade now? Thanks.

While it’s implied that he was drinking, nowhere does the report mention alcohol. One can gamble, dine and party without booze. I hope if he was in Vegas, somehow he resisted that urge too.

Has Carole King always been a crazy-UES-lady-you-see-walking-her-cat-and-talking-to-herself? Or is that a new development?

This isn’t the first Jeb-related domain to make news: http://www.onthemedia.org/story/47-jeb-b…

Oh god this is so so so much less worse than the weightlifter-whose-arm-snapping-off videos we normally see here.

“I was on my way home from buying my wife surprise flowers for our anniversary”

This has me wondering: is Kobe the last person to have played against Jordan when he was with the Bulls? Maybe Andre Miller did? And how many others are left who played against/with Jordan during his sad Wizards years? Duncan, Dirk, a handful more perhaps?

It was much more powerful in person. You really Haka be there.

I don’t know how to explain this more elegantly, but it seems like the problem is: lawyers. Every little thing has gotten lawyered to the point where the rulebook looks and sounds more like a terms of service agreement than it does a guide for a game. No surprise that the league is run by lawyers.

“his brain will be so fogged with fantasies of strangling the guys he thinks you’re looking at”

Shouldn’t we change the measurement for sock and underwear use from “times worn” to “hours worn”? Because wearing socks once for eight hours then taking them off when you get home is a lot different than wearing them 20 hours straight. If I wear a pair of socks for only a few hours and they still pass the smell test,…

I dunno, what the hell is he supposed to do now? He wants to get back into the NFL, there’s no legal roadblock to it, he’s just bad PR for a team (and, obviously, a possibly bad RB now). What would your advice be to him, just shut up and stay away from any interviews or anything?

Not sure I understand the “RIP France” sign. The country still exists, right, or did I miss something big?

This guy needs his inbox flooded with links and videos and newspaper clippings of stories in which a trans person is killed or attacked or abused just for being trans.

Seriously. That is some Uncanny Valley shit right there.

I turned the game on in the fourth quarter and saw two very easy catches (for him) dropped by Thomas. That didn’t help.

An overlooked moment of the game was the very first. Granderson barely thrown out at first on a slow grounder. Mets asked for the replay—turned out he was safe. And then went on to score. If this was an NFL game, would a coach have risked one of his challenges in the first minute of the first quarter on such a close…

Serious question for you, Albert: who would you like to see running for president? If every politician (or also, I guess, businessperson) was running, who would you vote for? Or better yet, who would you donate to, knock on doors for, and genuinely throw yourself into his or her campaign?

We are going to get SO MANY more awesome save highlights this year. My favorite hockey thing.
