The league office will comment that they didn't see the video, and CBS is lying if they say otherwise, and Fireman Ed didn't understand how bad the finger was until TMZ sent him the video.

-1 for reminding me that After the Fire was a thing.

That wasn't a "mistake." That was a felony that went away because he has money and lawyers. There is a difference.

Actually, in this case, maybe not. I don't know how things work down there, but in New York, CPS complaints are actually covered by some very, very heavy duty privacy laws. They're not like criminal complaints. Like, I have colleagues who are do professional integrity investigations on child protective workers, and…

Sigh. I was seriously asked before this aired if I thought it was a good idea. My opinion was apparently not considered.

Terry Pegula will be mailing the check to Marty Mornhinweg tomorrow morning.

Aw, you checked out right before my favorite LOL Jets moment in recent history: the totally pointless time out negating the game tying score. It was, to put it mildly, amazing.

Did the exact same thing as you, more or less, but through a different retailer. Amazon was showing the Madden bundle as sold out, which sucked. But Walmart is running pretty much the exact same deal until the end of today (9/13). If you do it at an actual store, they give you a $60 gift card instead of the game,…

You've reached the limits of serving the public good, Samer. What can you possibly accomplish now other than violating the privacy of theoretically innocent rich people?

This is an atrocious violation of the individual privacy rights of the involved parties, but I would like to take this moment to laugh at Matt Paulett up there, whose Tweet I read thusly:

We are totally okay with a dork billionaire, as long as it's Terry Pegula.

In tepid defense of the insecure fanbase thing, this town has been fucked harder by professional sports results than pretty much anybody else in the past 25 years. Add that to the inferiority complex that comes from being thought of as "Detroit, but with more snow," and you can sort of understand why we're touchy.

Clearly somebody has never been to Amherst or Cheektowaga. There is pleeeeeeeeeenty of racism there.

But, yeah, I've been to plenty of places where it's a lot worse. So, we're kind of awful, but other people are defnitely MORE awful, so that makes us... okay? I guess?

To be fair, if they murdered Matt Lindstrom if his ERA exceeded a certain point, the rest of the bullpen would probably waive their trade restrictions pretty quickly.

There's definitely a difference in upstate NY, but it's almost entirely in housing costs. I work in government, and I've turned down promotions to positions downstate because the raise and location differential still didn't add up to a net increase in pay if I wanted to live in anything better than a poorly maintained…

You can totally see how some of this shit mattered if you go back and look at the spinoff material from the early 90s, though. In the early days of the Archie comics, love of chili dogs was literally the character's most prominent personality characteristic.

Wait, Netflix didn't work at some point? That required a PSN login? I remember the dark days (last month) when you needed a XBL Gold account to use Netflix, but I don't remember it working that way on the PS3.

Obviously this is a safety measure. Marshawn is well-acquainted with the dangers of people walking in front of his car unawares...

In Terry Pegula we trust. All others pay cash.

My next burner account is totally gonna be "RegardingTheChickenHorseTugJob."
