I've played basketball, but never organized basketball. I'm a little obsessed with it, so I understand some of the finer points, but still have trouble with phrases like 'drop screens' or all the names of the many defensive schemes that are out there. Lowe does a good job of making that easy for people like us to…

I thought it was funny that he thought he was above the lists because he focuses on features and 'long-form'. It's like he believes he's better than those grunts that make all the money for Buzzfeed.

Aw man Lowe Post is great. I have a feeling that ESPN/Grantland is making him to the podcasts in order to refine his speaking and interviewing skills for the eventual Grantland NBA TV show. I remember when he was on his first B.S. Reports, he was so stuttery and had a habit of speaking too fast and not breathing. He's…

100% agreed. Jason Nash was trying too hard. It's like, hey dude, you're married and have kids, but you're on Vine? Why are you judging Howard?

As I said to Desert Fox down below, I understand him as well, but new listeners are often turned off by his rants and interesting voice. I love Howie, and it makes me upset as well when people don't. To me, he's either an amazing comedian doing a great bit or somewhat of a savant who stumbled on comedy.

I'm not implying anything wrong. I just say that for the uninitiated Chartists. I unabashedly love Howie and understand what he's trying to say. I'm just saying that Stard understands him more than the standard human understands Howard.

Haha that makes sense. I don't think you're a weirdo! If weirdo's think too much about podcasts, then I'm one. too.

The Bugle has returned! It was great hearing Andy and John talk about Scotland and how the Queen has no emotions.

Arthur Chu was an AV Clubber! And don't forget Adam Sandler!

I already used all of my allotted U2 related comments on the podmass article. Move along, nothing to see here

Went to my first football game ever this weekend. Saw USC vs. Boston College. Never again. So many people…

Ol' Hair of the Dog Wittels. May it forever be known that U2 was his favorite band

Just to stand out as someone who will plop down money for both a highly priced phone and a watch.

Amelie has run out of things to complain about…again

I don't think that the NFL terminated the contract. Instead, it was the Ravens who did that in order to save face. The NFL suspended him indefinitely.

So just because they're both puppets, they should date? I thought you were better than this

Guardians hasn't been released in China or Japan? That's at least $100 mil waiting to happen. Just watched it last week (in standard def), and it was great! Definitely lived up to expectations and critical praise. I want to rewatch it, but nearly all of the IMAX screenings are gone.

I haven't read much Millar, so I thought Black Science was pretty good. Never seen Lost in Space either. The art for Black Science is amazing though.

Picked up a couple of trades that looked interesting and were on sale: Deadly Class and Black Science, which are both written by Rick Remender. I devoured Deadly Class and am close to finishing Black Science. Recommend both highly. They each have their own voice, and it took me by surprise that both comics were…

He even says that he doesn't make anime. He makes animated films.
