Well, he’s been hired as HC at 2 franchises for starters (Clips and Suns), so maybe do more than just glance at Wikipedia? Unless you really put a lot of weight on his interim stints in Detroit and Miami where he didn’t have any say in the roster and only coached one full season between the two, that’s not an accurate…

Curses! Foiled again!

I got family in all those places (well, not in every square inch of downstate Illinois) and yup, they’re still better than most of ‘Sconsin. I mean, it’s like a person with a busted leg saying they can walk faster than a cripple - because fuck the Midwest as a whole - but Wisconsin is land of Scott Walker, Ron…

I guess that’s my point. New Glarus puts out some quality product, but they also produce some overrated pisswater that’s emblematic of craft-beer snobbery. To say Moon Man makes them one of the best craft breweries in the nation, much less makes Wisconsin the best beer state, is absurd. Pliny the Elder is my all-time…

Yup, and Dark Horse is the shit too. I have family in Michigan and always make sure to stock up on good in-state beer if I drive out there. Wisconsin has 2-3 good breweries, a whole lot of overrated reputation, and that’s it. Michigan and Minnesota (shit, even Ohio) have breweries that are just as good/better than New…

Most of the series were bad. Bulls-Cavs and Spurs-Clips were the only ones that went 6 or 7 games and were enjoyable to watch throughout, but even then they weren’t late enough in the postseason to give a sense that there was a ton at stake. There’s been a ton of injuries to star players that marred potentially…

“Hey guys! One 6-game conference semifinal series was ok, and one half of a sweep was kinda cool to watch too! Therefore, the entire playoffs wasn’t boring!”

Incorrect.

And enjoy the lack of a proper beer palette, apparently. I hated living in the Twin Cities, but if you’re within driving distance of Brooklyn Center and can’t appreciate the awesomeness of Surly then I’m sorry for you.

Surly, Dangerous Man, 612, Indeed, and Town Hall, off the top of my head. If you love Spotted Cow so much then get the fuck out and move to that shitty state.

Kirk Goldsberry marshals some numbers watched the fucking games to argue that the NBA playoffs have been boring.

The post-game presser is a fraction of their work environment. They had to write their story in a press box surrounded by screaming fans who shook the damn building the whole time, so I think it’s disingenuous to say that they want an “optimal work environment.” Do you pitch a fit when the office has a take your kid…

Unless you’re a diehard Miller fan, Wisconsin doesn’t have shit on either Minnesota or Michigan.

It’s adorable to see Wisconsinites commenting on here and desperately cling to the outdated and thoroughly untrue notion that they’re the best beer state in the Union. It’s like taking a naked, poor, blind man’s walking stick, the last thing he had going for him.

I think the owners are more worried about the alternatives. The Rozelle era was marked by a lot of infighting, lawsuits, and the rise of a rival league, while Tagliabue’s tenure saw multiple teams say “fuck it, I’m moving!” and not caring about the fallout. MLB and the NHL have both experienced eras where owners were…

You must have been born after 1990. This isn’t about people no longer watching the NFL, it’s about the way the league is run being fundamentally altered. The whole premise of putting an empty suit in as Commissioner only works when he agrees to stay out of the way and all of the owners agree to cede to his power,…

The lesson is you can mess with smaller clubs that have less established ownership, but you can’t go against one of the elder statesmen who’s willing to take you to court. The Cubs did that to Vincent over realignment after he already pissed off a number of powerful people, and it basically neutered the Commissioner…

I get where you’re coming from, but I think this is different. This isn’t public outrage or a mismanaged player’s union or a botched suspension challenging the league, it’s one of its own sources of power: the ownership. The only way Goodell goes away is if the owners tell him to fuck off, and the owner of a premier…

Lists like these are reassuring, in that consumers are not mindless automatons and will reject terrible actors no matter how hard Hollywood tries to inexplicably make them “happen.” Otherwise, LaBeouf would be starring in the next Indiana Jones, Taylor Lautner’s derptastic face would be the next Bourne or some shit,…

Not so much Long, but Spielberg was very clearly trying to set up LeDouche as the next Indiana Jones. That went over like a fart in church, thank god.
