I think all the people saying some variation on “she’s a monster how dare he try to redeem her” are missing the point. Tyson is trying to show you that’s she’s not some extraordinarily evil cartoonish monster; she’s a regular person who turned out to be capable of doing something horrible. The point is the banality of…

The south is full of “good hearted people” who honestly have no fucking clue how bat-shit racist they are. I grew up in Mississippi and I can tell you first hand that even though I could always see the disconnect, MOST of the white people around me could not. I’ve seen people transition and suddenly realize “oh shit,…

I don’t know, I think the sort of grandmotherly description of her brings the point home a bit. She can be both a “kind” old lady and a murderer by proxy, which is a form of white privilege, because that kind of contrast could pretty much only exist in a white person from that time and place. I think acknowledging…

Tim Tyson was one of my teachers at UW-Madison when I was an MA student in the department in which he taught. I took a few classes with him something like 15 years ago (one of my fave was a class he co-taught with Steve Kantrowitz). I haven’t seen or spoken with him in ages. This interview reminded me of just how…

And as for Simon and Schuster, I’ll never buy another book from them. I encourage Mr. Tyson to find a new publisher.

Annalise Basso and Tituss Burgess look amazing. Everyone else’s look is either a snooze fest or just downright awful. I’ll give Gwendolyn Christie a pass because she’s Gwendolyn Christie.

YES, BOSS UP HERE PEOPLE!!! It killed Cheetolini that Meryl Street RIPPED him, and it killed him that the room/viewers sang her praises. I think that will be his undoing—his thin-skinned, deluded attempts to *seem* like the BMOC. I think the marches and the populace poo-pooing him—well, I bet he hides his head in the…

Okay I really wanted this to be a nice break. Then I saw Sakic ranked ahead of Yzerman—no, *cruelly* ranked *one spot* ahead of Yzerman. I’m now wracked with existential confusion.

Are you

FUCKING

It makes zero sense to have Sakic ahead of Yzerman. Whatever. Lists are for arguing over I suppose. Sure, Sakic belongs at number 48, but Yzerman should be in the top 25 or 30. The makers of this list simply don’t understand Yzerman’s impact on the sport. It dwarfs Sakic. Don’t get me wrong, Sakic was a great player.…

Yzerman career +185, Sakic +30, and Yzerman has a Selke. Not sure how you came to the belief that Sakic was the superior two-way forward. Also, Sakic PPP was 1.19, Yzerman’s was 1.16, considering Yzerman played in 136 more games, you can essentially call it a draw as far as who had the better PPG.

That is patently false and you know it. If you want to knock Stevie Y, he had a ton of injuries and it definitely made him worse over the course of his career.

You must be pretty young to be a lifelong Avs fan.

These rankings are literally a joke, from what I can tell. If Yzerman isn’t in your top 20 players of all time, you’re wrong.

Haha, I had the exact same reaction that I went and looked up their stats. Yzerman has 138 more games played, 67 more goals, 47 more assists, is +185 to Sakic’s career +30. Sakic’s best goal scoring year was when he put up 54, Yzerman had 3 seasons of scoring over 54 goals, 2 of which he scored over 60, his best…

Yeah, I was gonna say. I’m not a Red Wings fan but Yzerman at #49 is silly.

stevie Y is top ten.

Hot taek warning.

49. STEVE YZERMAN
