I think there was already more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict JoePa in the Court of public opinion, so spare me the accusations of being a Penn State fan or whatever (I went to a NESCAC school and football was like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.) But I would just note that you should always take the other guy’s expert…

Inebriated

Hello!?!? Ledbetter?

the tears he couldn’t fight back as he sat there on the pitch, fearing that he’d have to leave the biggest game of his career before it even really got started, had to melt the hearts of even the staunchest Ronaldo detractors (e.g., me).

Sure, he was great, but did he have to go on that year-long, circle-jerk of a retirement tour that made him seem like the self-aggrandizing dick we all always suspected was lurking just under the surface?

You beat me to it.

Tom answered my first question (it was the one about the All-Star game). Do I get another one? Wait, shit, now that’s three. The point is, Terry Collins just put Bartolo Colon on the All-Star team, so nothing makes sense anymore.

Am I allowed to ask more than one question per session? I am fierce bored (okay, hungover, fuck off) at work today.

When I was a kid, I thought the MLB All-Star game was pretty much the greatest thing ever, and certainly one of the highlights of the summer. Did that stop because I got old, or because Bud Selig ruined it?

Game 6, 1986. We were staying with friends who lived about five minutes away from our house (it occurs to me now — for the first time, at this very moment as I am writing this — that the only possible explanation for us sleeping there was that all the adults were getting shitfaced during the game).

In Joe Walsh’s “Real America,” Hamilton would just be a dead white guy.

That’s only cuz you didn’t get the joke. ;)

Such a tough break for him. It is possible (very possible) that I just have an absolute blind spot for this guy and this team that prevents me from being objective, but I have never understood the animosity and vitriol reserved for Harvey among lots of Mets fans. He was a bright spot on a mediocre 2013 team and he…

Has Draper been fired yet, or at least dick-and-ball punched on an hourly basis?

Ciara was hardly the first person to get boned in England recently by some guy who hasn’t got a clue what he is doing.

Two Exquisite Flicks Of Feet Gave France The Decisive 2-0 Lead Over Germany . . . .and Rex Ryan the hard-on of the millennium.

This would actually be more tolerable than the current arrangement. We are already living in a Justice [Potter] Stewart* regime and the NFL just won’t admit.

This had a happy ending.

“[W]aking up vagrants for laughs and putting the videos on the internet” is an incredibly succinct and apt description of Phil Jackson’s approach to the 2016-2017 Knicks’ season.

Can't beat that.
