In terms of business, I’d guess that A-Rod has created a great deal more real value than 99% of Silicon Valley, including Wojcicki. Unlike her beloved “potential of the future,” baseball is massively profitable and he seems to have done quite well with his $480mn in career earnings on top of that.

Had this one morning after a midweek birthday party - got up to go to work, no truck outside.

I was shocked the only time I encountered someone not wanting to use a condom the first time - we’d been on three dates over 10 days or so, as I went to grab the condom I had brought with me just in case she said “you don’t need to use one.” Yes, yes I did. I’ve known you for barely a week, no idea of your history nor…

Do you think nothing will replace the NFL?

Ahh, the peak of Americans emulating the worst aspect of European soccer.

Machinist? A job that is projected to continue declining over time and is ripe for further automation.

A special kind of white privilege, to boot. Anecdotally, there’s a class angle - the only people I’ve known who talked about being anything less than ‘sir after every word’ polite were both white and economically privileged.

I’d guess “not developed” means that he was supposed to become less of a V8 OR GTFO YOU FAIRIES caricature as the series went on - the American hick suddenly developing a taste for European style could have been a good running joke.

Fuck these people to an entirely new circle of hell, but the idea that there are “plenty of jobs” available in a rural shithole that just require “new skills” is a joke and a half. If only someone who graduated high school in 1972 would learn to code (from... somewhere) they could compete for the bottom of the barrel…

Men should not describe themselves as feminists, similar to calling yourself brilliant or something - if other people want to describe you that way due to your actions, fine, but you don’t choose the word yourself.

Ugh, look at those anarchists driving on roads... government roads.

so far its beginning to sound as judgemental as the paradigm it’s seeking to replace.

Double-A baseball is still fun to watch?

That’s their standard focus group - but everyone pictured is a dentist M-F.

The logic is impeccable - “soccer is huge in Portland and Seattle, what’s the third-hippest city full of wealthy white people we can find?”

Not sure their attendance projections have accounted for Austin being 25+ degrees hotter than Seattle and Portland during the peak of MLS season, though.

This is some ‘all lives matter’ bullshit. Yes, we men get harassed and assaulted too - it is not, however, close to the epidemic that it is for women.

As such, that’s where the focus lies.

I think US soccer fans have to accept that the US will never accept the absolutely brutal academy culture of Europe as a norm - and that will keep the US from being elite.

We blame other sports taking precedence but in terms of population we’re basically 4X as large as Germany so even accounting for the talent going to…

Couple million Euros a week in salary on the pitch but without crowd noise it looks and sounds like some guys playing a pickup game and shit-talking.

nu-Garbage Time available on Youtube/ESPN.com would be perfect. Her style isn’t right for the aging boomers who still watch ESPN highlight shows and a quality, funny digital show would give a cordcutter like me a reason to ever open ESPN.

I would never have guessed that a grown man who goes out in public dressed in gingham overalls with no shirt might be prone to getting drunk and fighty.
