Dan Hicks does a good job on excitement, I think.

Bird was such an inveterate trash-talker, this ref would have T’d him up within 5 minutes.

Yep, I was just going to mention that a lot of the brewery taprooms in Chicago do not have TVs, or have very few of them (and some of those hide them behind sliding cabinets or don’t turn them on much of the time). Revolution has 1 or 2 in the tap room but it’s an enormous space, so it’s easy to not be anywhere near…

I’m sure the other teams will be happy with their gift baskets

Maybe law jargon seems impenetrable, but we don’t get to make up ridiculous terms like consultants and ad people do. Our jargon mostly comes from

Trump’s usually in a cart, and in a lot of cases when you have a caddy while on a cart, at least one of the caddies will head out as a forecaddy.

The Lemming Loop is definitely the toughest of these courses since each lap you jump off a cliff.

Hey, if Vince wants to make that bedford he can lie in it

The Bears are now so irrelevant that their notoriously garbage natural grass surface doesn’t even warrant a mention anymore

Hey but at least Thibs has Minnesota playing great defense like his teams always do oh wait a minute they’re in the bottom quarter of the NBA in points per possession on defense.

So CBS paid only very slightly less than SBNation did for those posts

Get it right, it’s the He Bereaves Cup

I’m still partial to the Paul Robinson for England Keeper Howlers. A kick whiff is funnier, made even more amusing by Smirking Borat on the video board behind him

My whizbang Capresso all-in-one (burr grinder, brewer, with therm, man that thing made great coffee for an automatic) had its electronics go and it pissed me off so now we have an Aeropress and a hand-crank burr grinder. Between those and a gas stove not even a power outage stops the coffee now. We do have an electric…
