Well done, sir. 

I welcome the opportunity for someone to prove me wrong, but to my mind there is no better demonstration of the sublime Don LaFontaine than the Double Impact trailer. How can you top “They’re Damme quick, Damme cool, and Damme hot!” and “Double the fun. Double the Van Dammage!”?

Where does this put him on the list of all-time Howies? Certainly above the one from the Backstreet Boys. But still below Mandel and Long?

When Kershaw is enshrined in the Hall of Fame instead of a plaque they should just mount a monkey’s paw. 

I’ve been saying for a while now, but have redoubled my conviction, that I as much as I am sure there isn’t, really hope they are right and there is a hell. Because there will never be justice for them on earth.

I would have never thought such a thing is possible, but now things in my own life make sense. I could never understand why people kept accusing me of leaving comments that Billy Haisley doesn’t know anything about soccer. But now I realize my account must have been hacked. And also I don’t know anything about soccer,…

Oh man, Chacho’s. My in-laws are from San Antonio and when we moved back to Texas we stayed with them for a while. KSAT would always have those segments where they’d go undercover at restaurants and the next day my mother-in-law would say, “Mijo, never go to Chaco’s! It’s cochino!”

I would add also anything he wrote for Grantland too. 

Or it was a code from a BND agent, telling a Stasi mole it was time to get the hell out and make the crossing before the Commissar found his papers missing.

Tony Gwynn. 

If The Athletic wants a less-obvious way to prevent people from commenting they should just switch to Kinja.

But at least he has someone on his staff who gave him a word-a-day calendar. Today’s word was “caliphate”. 

How will the Jets be able to get to office early enough to fire Adam Gase? Woody Johnson will have to camp out in front of his door in a sleeping bag the night before like he’s buying Springsteen tickets. 

After this and the Rudolph injury, I’m wondering if Smith-Schuster I’d jinxed or has bad karma or a curse or something. 

I should’ve clarified that I was defending him in 2014. 

Everyone on the team quit? Allium?

Uh! Snoop’s a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes, see these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat...

I firmly toed the line about Kershawnot being shitty but rather the playoffs being too small a sample size, to the extent I nearly got fired from a job for telling my San-Francisco-Giants-fan boss that if you use the same logic the greatest quarterback in history is Phil Simms.

I miss Emma!

I will honour Fat Bear Week in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!
