This is one of the times where my words escape me (though surely some fellow reprobate down below will fire off a black humor one-liner) and all I can think of saying is thanks, Barry, for posting this, and my heart goes out to Bivens and those around him.

Fuck me man.... I’m not religious and thinks it’s all a crock of shit, but fuck, I really hope it provides something Blake to hold onto and help him through this.

“We will support him in any way we can.” What by like doubling his pay to $7 an hour?

How many cops with guns who feared for their lives actually RAN AWAY FROM THE SUSPECT prior to shooting?

That dude killed two women and a child and spent an hour running around naked, trying to tackle and wrestle police officers, who absolutely refused to use their service weapons against him, and if watching that video doesn’t tell you 100% the difference between how the police treat black people and white people,…

Unbelievably, I had to correct this from “100% TRUMP supporter” to “110% TRUMP supporter.” 

His days are almost over.

Roxanne! You don’t have to put on that red hat.

Just get rid of interleague play. The best parts of baseball happen when clubs really hate eachother cause they play 40 times a year. I went to Pirates Reds this weekend. The stadium was packed to watch two terrible teams play. Why? Because the weather was perfect and these two teams have exciting games.

I’ll do you one better. I was visiting the IU campus since a friend works nearby. Was standing at a crosswalk when a car full of white power idiots drove up in front of me, yelled “white power!”, then sped off. Initially I was surprised, I’ve been all over the Deep South, Pennsyltucky, and Appalachia coal-country and…

This should be mandatory reading at the NFL rookie symposium, instead of having Antonio Cromartie telling them to use condoms and Adrian Petersen handing out his financial planner’s business card.

We’re all dying every day. Use that as a reason to focus on living a full and happy life every day. You never know how many days you have left.

drew needs to ungrey you based solely on this gorgeously, perfect comment.

So last year NFL revenues were about 16 billion dollars, of which players get a little less than half, call it 8 billion. 53 NFL players x 32 teams x $60k each = $102 million, for all the players combined. A reduction in pay of 99%. 

As I see it, there are three alternatives:

I’m not typically one to cast aspersions on people I don’t know, but if Dan Dakich’s family member is dealing with chronic work-related injuries, has earned $100 million in the last seven years, and has a degree in architectural design from Stanford, then he’s an idiot for continuing to show up every day at the steel…

What’s more is that Irsay is only rich because of his dad. Imagine Luck inheriting Mannings Colts stats and then saying “Hey I’m setting records here!” Generational wealth to that degree is a plague

If there was a young man in literally any other profession who made $100 million before he was 30 and decided to retire, he would be lauded. The Wall Street Journal would write thousands of words of wankery praising his acumen and smarts and god bless America.

Also, he plays for a team with a demented goober billionaire owner on more narcotics than an entire bus of Merry Pranksters who spent years staffing an offensive line of folding chairs while Luck earned a medical degree by observing his shoulder reconstruction. Destroying your body for those fans? How many years can…

Andrew Luck’s retirement will only increase the primal urgency of Football Men to find True Football Believers to play football, so that they don’t ever question their faith in it.
