To be fair, I think we have to at least allow Pete Carrol would have been up for it. 

I certainly don’t presume to admonish anyone around here, especially not Burneko. Most of my replies have been to frequent commenters, and I certainly hope none of them have read the conversation that way.

Seriously, tho. Record players. What a fucking hipster. 

Well, it’s more coherent than the -average- reply from Donald Trump, who, you may be aware, is currently the President of the United States.

Last night, I was perplexed FOX was broadcasting Atlanta-Philly to NYC on a night with a democratic debate, the Yankees, the Mets, and what I’m told was an NFL game all happening.

I’m torn on how much I believe that should matter in a primary debate at this early stage.

I watched the clip just now, but I didn’t see it live. I’ll concede watching anything live makes a difference.

Anything to avoid saying “reparations,” I guess? 

I want to preface this by saying that I do not care for Joe Biden as a presidential candidate. Unlikely I’ll vote for him in a primary, and I sincerely hope he does not win the Dem nomination. That said:

Right, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the American electorate, it’s that we demand our presidential candidates speak with absolute intelligence and at all times articulate nuanced policy without error.

How about: a two-out dinger restores one out.

This thread has collected a number of unexpectedly real stories. Much respect to every one of you.

I would strongly suggest you read Diana’s excellent “Against Allegedly.”

What kind of garbage pile do you inhabit where threatening a woman for -any reason- let alone taunting someone with so-called consentual acts is a) reasonable and b) not blatantly an act of abuse? Don’t excuse this shit.

Yeah, this clip was seared into my mind after ESPN’s broadcast team broke it out last night to gaze upon in awe. The genius of Jon Gruden!

Do you think you could count, out loud, for 24 straight hours without stopping?

But if you drink three bottles of Seagram’s and you can line them up you win the jackpot — but it’s a scam because if you do that you’re dead.

Ingraham’s sneering condescension would be more grating if it weren’t also the sound of her raising an intellectual white flag, which, not for nothing, would be good name for her memoirs.

Represent Philadelphia or don’t go to the game.
