Shows you that every man has his limits. As tough a guy as he was, he obviously couldn’t handle the inevitable “Aaron Hernandez was found not guilty, shouldn’t be get another chance to play in the NFL?” thinkpieces.

You know I realized later that it might’ve come out that way. I honestly just meant the obsessiveness and repeated stalker-y references. But kudos for calling it out like you see it.

Does Mrs. Burneko get a little creeped out when you watch Gordon Hayward on TV?

Oh man, Koyaanisqatsi...SUCH a good drug film. But I can’t even articulate the intense sadness I felt under the influence, when the the first 20 minutes of intensely natural imagery gave way to machines and backhoes...so traumatizing. I am reasonably sure I screamed “Nooooooo!” when it happened.

I think we agree more than disagree. People made decisions that allowed this to happen; so pick on the lackeys, or pick on the policy-writers, or pick on the executives. But it’s useless to pick on an abstract corporate entity. The replies to my post put it better than I did: this doesn’t happen if actual people made…

Very well-said.

One important thing I think we should all practice doing is trying to steer away from “United Airlines did XYZ” and into “[named human] did XYZ.”

Yeah Kyrie needs to win more than 20% of his games without Lebron before I can take him seriously at the all-NBA level.

Kyrie = Professor and Mary Ann. “And the rest.”

Ah fuck I knew I was missing someone. Goddamn. Dame just can’t get there can he?

So figure Steph, Westbrook, Harden, Wall, and Thomas have to be the first five all NBA guards in some order...that leaves Lillard, Lowry, Klay, and the rest battling for spot number six.

And a few nice intros after commercials along the lines of, “Here in Philly where the Eagles hold a 14-3 lead over Washington.”

Thanks!

Thanks!

I always get a message from my iPhone when I use a third party cable or accessory along the lines of “This is not a certified Apple product and may not work properly with your phone.” Super annoying. Is that just a fact of life with Apple or have I been using really ghetto accessories?

This comment is funny to me because my wife and I were just talking about whether ‘constitutional’ means ‘walk’ or ‘poop.’ I’m pretty sure it properly means a walk, but that it was a common a dad joke to use it to reference pooping, and now that’s become mainstreamed.

Yeah I almost gave that a star because I thought it was a subversive comment on the origins of white privilege in the US. Glad I read down as it seems this guy’s pretty committed to the literal truth of that statement.

Goddammit NBA, let me enjoy a few more years before you turn into fucking MLB and I have to start watching soccer or some shit.

A few issues but you got the most important thing right: Honey Dijon Kettle Chips are the greatest chip, nay, the greatest snack food ever created, and I will fight you to the death if you disagree with me.

The “ma’am” thing is totally contextual. A snotty waitress calls my wife “ma’am” and it’s a night-killer. (That happened).
