Even better than that. He’s from a Looney Toons like universe where everyone and everything is an anthropomorphous animal. Think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Roger Rabbit.  

Spider-ham is from a universe where all your famous comic book characters are other animals.

Motherfucker! I stuck with Saban when he tried to rehabilitate notorious asshole Lane Kiffin and booger-eating Steve Sarkisian, but we’re talking about someone who is responsible for the death of a player. If we actually hire this son of a bitch I am done with Alabama. 

I had this exact thought. It’s not Harold Baines’s fault that they put him in the Hall. What is he, maybe top-50 or top-100 on the list of players on the outside looking in? That’s a fine career. But by elevating him to being maybe the worst inductee ever, that casts a shadow on his accomplishments. 

The way the Hall works now, there are some less deserving players who made it in and some deserving players left out. I’d much rather have all deserving players in it even if that means more of the less deserving players are in it too.

The U23 men will race 8.300m: one lap of 1000m, four laps of 1500m and a final lap of 1300m.

Pasch and Walton are great (I expect Pasch always draws Walton as his partner as he probably has the highest tolerance of him); they basically turn every game into the basketball version of “Best in Show”

I love Bill Walton unironically. Anything he says or does that makes Dave Pasch’s creationist ass uncomfortable is just icing on the cake.

It’s such a break from the usual, boring, Witten-esque color commentary we get. I think of it less like he’s actually part of a professional broadcast team, and more like I get to just watch a basketball game during story time with crazy uncle Bill.

“After further review, and based on a live Twitter poll brought to you by Bud Light, the ruling on the field is, somehow: #yeet. 5 yard penalty, replay 2nd down.”

Literally: We make beer for the unwashed masses! You don’t wanna look like a book reader, do you?!

At least at the NBA level, the rules made it much easier to be a defender.  You could hand check and moving screens were called pretty tightly.  You had a better chance of scoring by getting to the line or dumping it into the post to a player who could reliably draw double teams.  The NBA has consistently made it…

Why the surprise? It’s in his genes.

The rules link also helped me remember some Coach Guys:

He used to rip Luke so hard when he was calling his games. Constant dry, offhand, seemingly entirely unironic criticism. I have had hot fudge sundaes which were less delicious.

These are all entertaining, but you left out the two best exchanges:

Daimler Lama? Ahura Mazda? WE MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING HERE.

It’s written with many tones of denial, hesitancy and almost fear to it, as if written by someone who really was in super-denial (and sounds like an abuse victim, tbh). Like she doesn’t come out and say she caught them in the act. She doesn’t even say she heard them. (Could a troll resist this?) She also doesn’t…

SO fake. My guess is that the lady’s fiance has a close but nonincestuous relationship with his sister, and she resents it, so she threw in a couple real details and then made up the whole tale of shared beds and wedding dresses and sister honeymoons to blow off some steam.
