I haven’t seen the doc, but I did see Kurt’s band a couple times. The first time, for Nevermind before that album exploded, in a small club he looked like a perfectly happy enthusiastic guy. The next time, in a soulless hockey cavern for In Utero, where the band members stood on stage about 60 feet from each other, it…

Very cool. Mind you, I see the same plays made in rugby union and rugby league all the time, except in those codes the ball-carriers make their behind-the-back offloads while defenders are smashing them in a tackle.

We are presumably reaching the end of the black-uniform craze.

Every team wants to be the All Blacks. But there’s only one All Blacks.

What are you trying to say here, that b/c Dominic Goode *looks* like Jaden Smith, that means he surely worships LRH? Is that why he lost? If you’re genuinely *looking* for answers, we can help you with that. *Look* no further than the FACT his skull-crushing opponent Courtney Blocker *looks* like he’s OT level VIII…

For the Love of Earl Weaver, c’mon O’s learn the dam lesson already: Do NOT fuck with Joey Bats.

Possibly the greatest song ever about The War On Drugs.

I think we need to see the video evidence from Sapp’s camera. Will solve everything. (Maybe.)

“I tell ya, I’ve seen some awful smacks and it’s always a woman yapping away.”

Must be a Deadspin-Saturday. 80% soccer, all the time.

Jeezuzfuck, already. Is it really necessary to post soccer bicycle kicks DAILY...?
