I’ll tell ya you can get pretty good look at a butcher’s ass but I wouldn’t want to stick my head up there! Wait, it’s gotta be your bull. Shut up, Richard.

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint.

God I miss him.

Loved Will Clark. Conforto has always reminded me of him.

I don’t think of myself as someone with an eye for graphic design, but man were those 1990 Topps cards a disaster. Not the worst, of course — I’m looking at you, 1986 Topps — but really, really ugly. 1990 Donruss was especially nice, and 1990 Fleer was, well, whatever. But Topps just mailed it in for this set.

He spent the next 23 years behind bars until DNA evidence last November led prosecutors to vacate Coleman’s conviction, leading to his freedom. A Cook County judge granted him a certificate of innocence this month, clearing his name.

This comment deserves its own post and a broader context. In my career I have had occasion to work on a handful of matters that were of a high enough profile to be covered in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. It is shocking how much of the coverage was incomplete, out of context, or just plain wrong.

“And I was always very like,” even if merely spoken, not written, should result in a lifetime ban from plying the English language for a living.

I don’t believe that Chipper’s right to have five guns should be on par with my kids’ rights not to get shot in school. Nor do I think your friend’s need for protection from predatory bears is sufficient justification to permit the lawful manufacture and sale of devices that only serve to kill people. Trying to…

Oh, sure, blame bears. Bearist.

It’s table scraps. That’s all we are ever going to get until there is a fundamental shift in the underlying culture. It’s great that a gun enthusiast (puke) like Chipper still has some common sense and decency enough to support the mildest restriction on assault weapons — and yes, I will take it — but I would rather…

. . . and is now as geographically close to Brooklyn as he can get. . .

But check out Odell Jones going the distance in the loss. Those were the fucking days, man.

Nance got robbed. The double bounce off of the backboard is getting undersold here. Booker’s final round of 3's was incredible, too.
