But she could read English?  She didn’t seem to speak it - I thought Lex taught it to her.  I’m just confused by how all of that was supposed to work.  I thought it was a pretty good episode, but there were some things lost in the editing.

First off, I believe it’s a travel and I also wanted to make the joke, I was multitasking.

(1) Why did Red Daughter use a Russian/English dictionary when she didn’t know English? I was very confused by her language skills.

I’m going to be that guy: Tremont took a pretty solid four steps on that layup - three are obvious, and there was a subtle toe tap for the fourth visible on the slow motion replay. But ultimately I guess it’s probably the best Walk on Waters this side of Matthew 14.

Time for my favorite hot take bound to fall on deaf ears!

So, to sum up: things are mostly flat until maybe 27 or so, except one typically improves by walking fewer batters.  Then everything goes to heck!

Well, I agree with Arash downplaying his teaching role in the following sense:  teaching one class per semester doesn’t make him a “professor” (the word used in the first paragraph of this article).

I did not see the movie but had seen the “table scene” posted as an example of bad editing, and boy, I couldn’t agree more even as someone not particularly versed in editing. I normally don’t care all that much about the Oscars but it made me pretty irate that it won.

As a Chiefs fan, of all our years of terrible QBs that have led, karmically, to Mahomes, Tyler Thigpen was definitely the most fun of the bad QBs.

Allbright has something of a dubious history when it comes to reporting information that later gets denied, but he deserves credit here for being willing to tell people what he’s heard.

And last I checked, Machado was never benched for not hustling, like Harper was, smeared by ex-teammates for a lack of discipline, like Harper was, or, uh, physically strangled by a teammate for not running out a pop fly, like Harper was.

Ooh ah ah ah ah!

That was my thought as well. Usually the worst racial motives are assumed when this is asked of a black player, but it seems to me that it really is just about classic ideas of what constitutes the “right” body type and the “right way to play” QB (even as those ideas are becoming quickly outdated), and those ideas are…

I do not wish for the NFL to start penalizing celebrations again. The current rules are mostly okay, I would even be okay with them allowing props, even though that will never happen.

In my internetting I’ve already experienced a lot of Poe’s Law today, but this might be topping the list.

Devil’s advocate counterpoint: if that were the case, don’t you think Kaepernick would want that out there?

Yes, but can you make him drink?

Don’t rag on the pallbearer joke. It’s good enough that it can’t truly be overused, much like pizza or tacos.
