Robin Sparkles is a great pick. I'll never forget my mother's cackling laughter at that scene when she first saw it.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is Will Ferrell's lion/tuna monologue to Mark Wahlberg in The Other Guys, turning around Wahlberg's "I would venture out of my food chain to eat you" insult in a hilarious 2-minute explanation of how he, as the tuna, would ultimately defeat the lion.

Completely lost it at that joke.

Seriously. An AVC reviewer getting pissy about the depiction of neocons in a fucking Sharknado movie is self-parody.

You're referring, I believe, to this article, written while Sports Guy was in New Orleans for the week leading up to the Patriots/Rams Super Bowl.

The absolute worst. And there's talk that he and Le Batard are the in-house favorites to replace TK and Wilbon once they're gone. I actually really like Le Batard because of his simple refusal to take anything seriously, but I fucking loathe Whitlock with the fire of 1,000 suns.

Rome had some utterly phenomenal takedown many years ago of some jackwagon caller who ended his stupid monologue with something about how he was headed for home plate. Cut him off and deadpanned, "Dude, you're out. You got hosed 20 feet from the plate." 20-year-old (or thereabouts) me, who for some reason was…

ESPN is realizing - belatedly, but they are - that no one really gives a rip about anything on their network besides live events. No point paying premium dollars for stuff that people don't much care about - no one is holding on to their cable/satellite subscription to watch SportsNation.

Never gets mentioned anymore. To be honest, it would be funny if he brought it up every now and again, but outside of the first couple of days of his show, I think he's joked about it like 3 times.

I'm praying that Ant-Man 'tis good.

How pretty much everyone else feels about Step Brothers, I feel about The Other Guys. Flat-out outstanding movie.

That DirecTV Football On Your Phone ad from a couple of years ago was delightfully ridiculous, too.

That's all we got, is one goddamn hit?

Probably means the type of baseball fan Olbermann is (old 'get off my lawn' type) is at odds with his political viewpoint, which is supposed to be the opposite.

Agreed - the ending was indeed terrific, and I teared up a bit myself, but the movie up until the last 15 minutes was, in my view at least, merely good. Still an enjoyable experience overall.

This is what I was talking about in my post that you clearly didn't read in your attempt to have righteous indignation about something.

I have nothing against women's sports, and it's obviously a good thing that they exist (I watch Notre Dame women's basketball when they're on TV, and they are a fun group to watch), but if half the people turning up their outrage meter on Andy Benoit actually watched women's sports, maybe they would get ratings good…

Same. I consider myself a fairly well-adjusted adult, and there's still no question there's more Calvin in many of us than anyone else in that strip.

"The trees are really sneezing today."

Is that the one where he plays Phil Time? If so, that's hilarious.
