Also, as a 35-year-old who never wants to go places or do things or sign up for/buy tickets for stuff because ugh, why bother? I’ve come to appreciate that the lesson for kids that doing stuff if good, and sometimes getting out there/participating in the first place is the hardest/most important step is a good and…

And I’m aware I’m three years late with this hot take. That’s what happens when you only watch Esquire Network for Parks & Rec reruns.

I accidentally watched 5 minutes of that show Friday Night Tykes the other day. Oh god. It just made me so very sad. “Lost sports ability and glory” is such a dangerous drug for these adults who should really know better.

I grew up in 90s as a Rangers fan, and Pavel Bure was always my favorite “opponent” player in the league. In the dark days of 1997-2004, when the Rangers kept signing/trading for overpaid veterans and missing the playoffs (much like their co-tenant from 2001-now), Bure’s 12 goals (and 20 points) in 12 games after…

I’m perfectly capable of determining who does and does not deserve/get my sympathy for myself, thank you very much.

The twist was unexpected from me and really gives the show added direction.. Kristen Bell is wonderfully charming in everything she does, even the commercials. Ted Danson is solid as ever and I hope I have hair like that at his age. D’Arcy Carden is amazing as Janet and is on her way to comedic stardom. William…

Yes please! And I like the idea of Zoey going to an HBCU, like her dad, who went to Howard (even if her not going to Brown is a check in the loss column for Bow). Although if this does happen, it seems far more likely that she’ll be at a school in CA, to allow more regular cross-over.

Who the hell is Philip Kirkorov?

Well at least we now have clear proof that he’s never been to Prague.

Now I’m afraid I might be racist, because I never realized Kyle Okposo is black. I thought he was Latvian or something.

The scene where Charlie and Dennis compose “Dayman” alone makes “Sweet Dee’s Dating a Retarded Person” a top 20 episode. (Also, it has, in my opinion, the best of many great transitions from cold open to title, when Dee yells “You guys, I’m not dating a retarded person!”) 109?!?!? Seize the gap, you fat cow.

Remember that however you slice your pizza, 12 slices is more pizza than 8 slices.

Yeah, I guess I could be remembering it wrong. But I never thought he was a crazy person until he took over for Vacchiano. This guy never would have tolerated the “Stop coaching, Pat” meme.

What is it about the NFL beat that makes reporters go insane? Leonard used to be the Daily News’ Rangers beat reporter, and he wasn’t like this — he could be funny, didn’t take everything super seriously, didn’t act like an arm of the Parents’ TV Council. (Sure, he had some issues with Torts, but who didn’t?) Now…

“The Hike” by Drew Magary.

required people to use the bathroom on their birth certificates

Alternate explanation: a coat!

Exactly! I’m super pretentious myself, subscribed to the New Yorker for years, was just thinking to myself the other day “why don’t they make more movies like The Triplets of Belleville?” But this guy is, as Jason Mantzoukas would say, “next-level bonkers.”

+5 bonus points!

On top of all of this, there’s the Vegas factor — Lundqvist has a NMC, meaning the Rangers have to protect him in the expansion draft and cannot protect Raanta. So they’ll probably have to do the same thing with Raanta that they did with Talbot and trade him for less than ideal return.
