And maybe also don’t blow a 3-1 series lead? I mean, it was a questionable call, but there was so much choking going on there, I have a hard time digging deep into my pity reserve for Vegas here.

I still don't understand how Pope Thrower is an 11 seed. It's like the committee had a Cinderella picked out right from the start. 

Don’t want to oversell it, maybe? It’s also the lead in for a 21 movie money shot, which left me, an adult man in his mid-30s with degrees and a mortgage and shit, momentarily slackjawed followed by this weird combination of giddy and kind of wanting to cry?

Well, if nothing else I hope I’m in the minority watching this, because I’m pretty sure that “Avengers assemble” sequence is going to detonate the theater off a primed audience when it lands on opening night.

Yeah, but which two Indiana Jones movies? Because if it's Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, well, I might just be the newest Q follower. 

Who cares if the dog can ride in the car? The real question is, can the BEAR ride in the car? That's a buy/don't buy decision-maker right there.

This is fucking awful, but:

Unlikely. We like him more than most of the Bills roster at this point. 

My understanding was that the mailers were sent to a targeted group of likely GOP voters, though? If they were attempting to run a disinformation campaign, wouldn't they logically direct it at people they expected to, y'know, vote for the opposing candidate?

For what it’s worth, she’s also just a huge bitch in general, at least to people who she considers her social inferiors. “I’m married to a famous hockey player!” is also kind of her platform for, uh, life in general. She leans into it HARD when she thinks it’ll help her, and not in a nice way. Like, yes, I *do* know…

I was in the exact same situation. Sick day on Monday after I sprained my ankle doing yardwork over the weekend got me through Spidey and on to DQ. Embarrassment of gaming riches.

...sigh.

What would the House have to do with the SCOTUS nomination, though? I'm confused. 

Until I threatened to put her in a discount old folks home at the earliest opportunity if she didn’t stop, my mother made a point of telling the story of how fucking inconsolable I was at the end of that game to every girl I was dating the first time she met her. She thought it was adorable, but I got the dual thrill…

Abood v. Detroit Board of Education was settled law for 40 years and SCOTUS overturned it just last week with Janus v. AFSCME. Do you think that they changed their mind because of some radical new understanding of 1A? Nah. They saw an opportunity to smack at organized resistance to the corporatist agenda and they took…

the collective bargaining equivalent of a plea deal. The city doesn’t just hand down a disciplinary action and that’s the end of it. Cop has a right to grieve (read: appeal) the action under his union’s contract. I don’t know the specifics, but that process inevitably has multiple steps, probably ending in final and…

What? Okay, let’s review.

Thank you. My first thought when I saw the headline was, “Holy shit, Cam Ward still plays in the NHL.” Then my SECOND thought was, “Eh, bet it’s no butt goal.” As you have neatly proven, it is, in fact, no butt goal.

This is, without question, the greatest moment I have ever had as a UB alumnus.

...wait, Arizona lost to UB? HOLY SHIT, THAT MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!

The only thing of importance I took away from this is that there is apparently a Chess revival coming this year and I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NO SHAME ADMITTING IT ON THIS HERE SPORTS BLOG.
