I refuse to believe that Paula Deen’s recipe had merely ‘light-moderate mayo’. Unless there is an unstated mayo dipping sauce.

[whistles “we’re in the money”] Although it’s only partly that, and I completely get that part. He came from basically nothing and was broke with 2 kids when he sold Carrie and his life changed. His story is unbelievable and he earned everything he has the hard way (he works his ass off). But he’s really not attached…

Worst part: editor uses ‘their’ incorrectly.

Um, did he pay you for this article? Cause it kind of seems like you’re promoting his brand here. Just weird to start with a “look at this terrible guy” lede, then shift off into “let’s interview him for an extended period of time!”

This is an odd thing to say, but Wilbon is absolutely right. There is no reason to preempt broadcasts with weather information; run it on the bottom line of the broadcast. Or as an overlay in the top right corner. Or maybe, just maybe, as a very short alert (like 10-20 seconds max) stating the only relevant…

Can we maybe pick a better hill to die on than Halliburton if we’re defending capitalism? I’m all for defending capitalism, and your general idea here is correct, but Halliburton is really just not a good example....

Look, SpaceX is cool. Can’t deny that. He started it (along with other people who aren’t as loud and who handle the practical sides of the business). He’s annoying because of his contrived persona (genius inventor), which he probably believes is real. What he actually is is a salesman, and a truly phenomenal one. You…

Love these columns, but just can’t get on board with the ‘comic books are just as good as books’ position. They’re really not. Every aspect is far more simplistic than a novel, even a children’s novel. It’s the nature of the format. There’s no room to imagine the characters and events, because they’re in front of you.…

Yea, it’s a distinct possibility. However, it’s also more common than we like to believe; politicians are really, really old. If Melania was more competent she could be running the country right now. Good thing the Democrats are probably going to run an even older guy against him.... That should go well. 

Really wish the Rockets series could have been the conference finals. Much, much better matchup (which the Warriors actually took seriously, unlike this matchup). I was literally laughing in the second quarter when Kerr played a bench+Klay lineup for almost 6 minutes in the second quarter and Portland did nothing…

This is the problem with modern SNL in a nutshell. She’s a good performer and does this kind of thing well, but it’s really not, you know, comedy. She doesn’t have a comical observation, or an original and funny take on the material. It’s just her shouting that she doesn’t like something. Which, ok, the policy that…

Toyed with is the better way to put it, although I think they think it was foreshadowing. Problem is T=they don’t know how to do anything particularly subtle, so what we got were supporting characters stating “hey, isn’t that kind of mad-king like” and her explaining in a very plausible way why it isn’t at all. Her…

His answer was idiotic, but might be better than the truth, which is something along the lines of: sorry, we can’t guard him; our perimeter defense sucks, our bigs are slow, and Dame/CJ aren’t going to become good defenders overnight. Better to hope we outscore them.

What part of 10 years doesn’t make sense to you? That’s the problem. He had plenty of shorter-term offers, and it’s pretty apparent why he didn’t take them. Play like this for another year or two and he wouldn’t have come close to getting 30m per again. For the signing to make sense he has to be consistently worth…

No idea why the MLB approved that purchase. Was pretty obvious that the plan was to exploit the competitive-balance system as egregiously as possible to pay down debt until the ownership team was solvent (which is a long-term goal). Was basically an admission that the Marlins would be a drag on other teams for at…

He knows the system.

Actors are the problem. The longer a show goes the more expensive the cast gets and the harder it is to keep it intact (actors get bored). Unless you want a new John Snow and Daenarys every season, between salaries and FX budgets it was going to get unaffordable pretty quick. Probably a factor in the quick wrap-up,…

He’s a student of the game.

Are there really people that think it’s 1? And is it solely because people aren’t sure whether an unstated multiplication symbol implies another set of parentheses? Because it’s obviously 9 and it isn’t debatable. Write this equation in any programming language you choose. Write it in an excel formula. It’s always 9.…

Ben Simmons is exactly why one-dimensional players are an issue. He’s very good at lots of things, and he’s a great player when he can get into the lane against the Jared Dudleys of the world, but he can absolutely be shut down when teams game plan for him and have the personnel to deal with him. He’s Rondo, but 7…
