This may be a petty gripe, but Packers fans call it Kielbasa instead of Kovbasa, and as a Ukranian, that really rankles with me.

Good thing he’s got that FSU education to fall back on instead of a multi-million dollar pro contract. Should help ease the pain a little bit.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, “stop it, you guys. You know that’s the preacher’s job.”

I think there’s a difference between what South Park does when they have a fight between two crippled characters that lifts directly from They Live or the fact that Timmy is a thinly veiled reference to a side comment in Phantasm and what Ready Player One offers, which is just Hey look! Remember Marty McFly! And Hey,…

Yeah, she’d probably placenta top 10.

This is probably way more than you (or, uh, anyone) wanted to know about this, but ESPN uses a different game score formula than MLB.com or FanGraphs.

Quality Winston Churchill paraphrase.

White people in America generally do the right thing (eventually, if no other options are present).

Magic criticizing someone else’s television skills in an example of the pot calling the kettle something unintelligible followed by an awkward silence.

Why stop with a statue? Let’s build her a whole temple. Get your frieze on, Portsmouth.

He may need to help a group of irascible inner-city youths to learn to believe in themselves through the power of team sports. In so doing, he may just learn something about himself.

I blame Trump for the superfluous exclamation point at the end of the union’s tweet.  

She’s a cipher. A nearly blank slate. She’s a loyal friend and kinda geeky, so people get to project whatever they want on to her. They project all kinds of things they love which makes her the bestest character ever. She’s basically Boba Fett in Empire. The best thing that happened to Barb was dying. That way she…
