It’s like I’ve always said: if you eat a stranger’s ass in the parking lot before the game, your mouth will probably taste like ass afterwards.

As a Miami heat fan I absolutely reserve the right to be wildly over confident in this young man and what he and jimmy buckets can do to secure us a sixth seed in the playoffs and a first round exit at the hands of, I don’t know, the Toronto Raptors.

This really isnt a hard discussion.. It starts and ends right here.

This isn’t milking it, this is Journalism, I personally can’t wait for the shit show at Blizzcon and I hope Kotaku reports on it.

Here’s a proposition, why not take your toxic cynicism and shove it up your ass?
