I think any Royals fan paying attention realizes that we won in spite of a lot of things.

Eh, I was a Missouri 8-year-old who got pulled into Royals fandom in ‘85, and really, 30 years is less time than you think.

I agree that what you’re suggesting should be a different list—the Most Agonizing NFL Franchises. I’m a Chiefs fan, and we’re definitely not one of the “most miserable” given that I’ve seen the Chiefs win a lot of games with a lot of memorable players in my 42 years, and we have the reigning, very young MVP, and, if…

But...would MLS be losing money if its supporters had left-leaning banners (even far left)? I go to lots of MLS games and the audience does not appear, even in Kansas City, to be an especially MAGA-laden crowd. The KC supporters group did a big ol’ Anti-fascist tifo at a match earlier this summer and I’ve heard not a…

Yeah, it’s not wealth-porn. If anything part of the pleasure of the show is  that every single one of the ultra-rich characters is far less happy than I am.

Yeah, the fact that Zelalem can’t even get on the field with the worst team KC has fielded in a decade is a serious problem.

Looking at the list of winners, it looks like back in the 80's they gave this award to directors almost every year, but they’ve only done it twice in the last 25 years. I’m surprised they haven’t ever given it to Spike Jonze, who directed a crap-ton of important videos before he did feature films. That said, if…

Certainly I think there’s a pretty direct line to be drawn from the South Park movie to the explosion of “musical episodes” that TV shows did in the 2000's. In that way especially it was very influential.

I’m not the world’s biggest Jon Lovitz fan, but I can’t imagine that skit being as funny as it is with any other SNL actor in the role.

You’ve got a point, although to be fair, he produced like 800 bajillion works, so sure, there were gonna be some misses. A Picasso show rolled through KC last year that didn’t really have any of the hugely famous stuff (because why the hell are you gonna ship Les Demoiselles d’Avignon to Kansas City?) and it was…

How soon we forget the 2004 Yankees.

I agree with you. Most teams are better off when they just keep playing their style. Ajax is not a bunkering team. And if that late shot off the post goes in, we’re all talking about how brilliantly they played tonight (they did look amazing in the first half).

I gotta say, I really feel for Ajax fans. I’ve rooted for some sad-ass teams throughout my life (Chiefs, Royals, Mizzou are the ones I’ve had since I was a kid), but no team I root for has ever had a loss that brutal. 

Euron would be a much more intriguing character if they ran with the idea that he had, in fact, invented naval warfare.

It really is remarkable. When you look at the inflation-adjusted list (where Avatar sits #3) there’s really no question it’s the film in the top ten with the least cultural impact. You really have to get to #17 (Jurassic World) to find a film where you could make a legit argument that Avatar was more impactful. But…

I’m not sure how many people read both websites, but here goes:

Eh, Rory never would have dated (let alone married) someone as likable as Chasten.

Thank God you guys keep McKenna around so you can have an actual grown-up write stuff about racing.

Nope. The rule is there because what the lead horse did is crazy dangerous, and the only way to keep it from happening frequently is to aggressively punish situations where a jockey loses control of a horse like that.

Yep. The only way you have a take as stupid as this article is if you’ve only watched like twenty races in your life. If this were a maiden claimer it takes them a minute to dq the 7. It’s very lucky the race ended with no dead horses or hospitalized humans.
