I find the Walker flag an interesting one, because McFarlane rightly asked the ESPN rules expert what the fuck he was supposed to do to prevent that collision. He’s clearly going for the pick there and given how awful the pass was, he had as much right to the ball as the receiver did.

Why do people watch this sport again?

It’s a damn shame I have to read this on AVClub and not Splinter.

I understand the logic of the call against Hilton, tbh. The in-game angles that night weren’t totally conclusive, granted, but the coaches’ film kind of shows that he tried to set a pick farther than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, which is against the rules.

Get rid of the tax favorability of debt accumulated for acquisitions, and require them to have a higher ratio of their own capital investment to any debt used in acquisitions. That would scare off most private equity firms doing a quick cash grab and stealth liquidation.

Are you tired of winning yet? I am, I'm so tired of winning... God please just make it stop

It’s less about “providing snippets” and more about the fact that ad revenue increasingly goes to the aggregators instead of the original publishers (someone wrote about this not long ago, where was it... )

I wish your shithead executives would let you and your readers publicly mourn Splinter. It is missed.

As I get older I sense a following pattern with men, especially men of privilege *cough Johnny Depp* :

They’re young and beautiful and the loves of their early lives are equal-aged women of similar beauty and stardom, they wed, the next decade more or less (in Phillippe’s case a bit less) their careers continue to…

Cannibal Danger Island and Chongo.

Even though I’m a late 40-something who should have memories of the Banana Splits, all I really remember is that the version of the theme that Liz Phair and Material Issue did for “Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits” was really great.

“I feel like we should’ve been more aggressive with those cocksuckers,” he said. “Playing a backup cocksucker, why would you put us in man-to-man?... I think it was a bullshit [penalty] call, but I feel like you don’t put Fabian in that situation with a backup cocksucker. Trixie!"

“That’s what the fuck serving in Congress has come to.”

“THIS WILL OWN THE LIBS!!!!!”

We could always remind him that this is merely the free market in action.

Finished the horror stories....

two things that don’t quite fit the main format, one hilarious and one sappy:

Last night went extremely according to plan; the only real disappointments came from America’s Perennial Disappointment (Florida) and Georgia’s gubernatorial race (which isn’t over yet).
