Go back to ancient Greece, Xena.

Pinkerton is completely unlistenable in 2018. The Blue Album is better but its merits are diminished by hearing it nine million goddamn times.

Much as I loved it at the time, so much post-grunge alt-rock just sounded boring. No weirdness, boring rhythms. I’d rather hear Cake or the Ben Folds Five at this point.

Also give us the option to hide people who play this shit permanently. 

That booth was the worst announcing crew I’ve ever heard. 

I believe every word of this (except maybe the lawyer wanting to bone Rick Pitino, I don’t think anyone wants to see Rick Pitino’s shriveled balls) - but all it tells me is that a bunch more horrible people involved in making horrible pizza need to lose their jobs. 

To make those choices in life, there has to be deep damage. If you cannot feel empathy for that, then you’re not a human being.

Now, the Russians have a simpler philosophy - If I shoot you, you die. If you die, you can’t be patched back up and sent in after me again. Which is why they use the 7.62x39mm caliber, something that is capable of taking down white-tail deer.

Gross and inaccurate generalities, yes.

Oh good, sensitive bros playing “Wonderwall” will be unavoidable everywhere.

Maybe if Ford had gotten this treatment, he wouldn’t have been able to widely publish The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Which is to say, beat down rich people every chance you get, it’s usually good for the world.

Fuck you, Drew, I just downloaded Solitaire Grand Harvest.

As a former pack a day smoker, I can’t really comprehend how people smoke multiples and function. I woke up feeling like shit every day and usually felt like shit at the end of the day. Maybe 40 isn’t that much worse than 20? 

Netflix Blu-Ray subscription, lots of weed, Pacific Coast, solitude, a Kindle - that’s how you enjoy a year-long sabbatical. Or how I would enjoy a year-long sabbatical.

The liability is that he goes out on the court and dies - whether you think it’s a case or not, someone’s getting sued and the PR for the league/team would be dreadful.

Teams take out insurance on contracts in case of things like medical retirement (covering salary owed) - is someone going to insure the contract of a…

You misread - I said his contracts are uninsurable. Teams take out insurance on contracts to cover them if a player is forced to retire for medical reasons (or... dies) - given Austin’s known issues and previous inability to get medically cleared, that insurance would either be impossible to get or prohibitively…

Is it exaggerating his condition when his doctor describes it as a risk and regularly monitors his heart?

I would think it’s more likely that the NBA doesn’t think it could risk liability and his contracts would be uninsurable.

I dunno, they could be FC Dallas and have their stadium in the middle of nowhere. 

I started playing rotisserie baseball when I was 10 because my dad had been running leagues since the mid ‘80s - word to Bobby Thigpen and Cecil Fielder for helping me crush grown men and buy my own Nintendo. Football followed the same year. From that point on I averaged three baseball leagues and four football…
