"I don't see the problem here"

I would love to see some sort of breakdown of prop bets as we approach the Super Bowl. For the reasonable ones anyway, betting on the coin flip doesn't really need to be broken down, but say there's a prop bet on which team will score a touchdown first. Looking at offensive production, defensive ability,…

Huh, you would expect someone to get better at shooting after moving to Detroit

I won't detail my problems with the writing and editing, because others have already made those points far more eloquently than I have, but I also think that the point about Vanderbilt's suicide not being definitively caused by Hannan deserves to be expanded upon. We can't get inside Vanderbilt's head and know what…

On the plus side, Messi is still a lock for "Best Upscale Movie Theater Usher"

The thing people care about is that MLB is setting a precedent here that they can essentially ignore the JDA and hand out whatever punishment they want to whoever they want with sketchy to thin evidence, and only an arbitrator…

Weirdly, the legs have creases in a pattern more akin to pants than skin or fur. So this bear is likely wearing goddamn furry bear pants, thus adding another layer of absurdity to this whole enterprise

The more a pun makes me groan, the better it is. +1

His running style certainly has some punch to it

Tony Bosch: I'm sorry man, I can't do it, needles freak me out too, plus I could have serious problems if I'm linked to this.

January is actually one of the few months in which I don't expect to see Cubs collapsing
