If it’s short, it would be like any other field goal attempt. Which is part of why it is so rare.

I learned yesterday that apparently in American football you can do a scrimmage kick during regular play like in Canadian football and recover your own team’s kick.

That is the only rule in football I love. 

Friedman was an advisor to Augusto Pinochet.  Fuck Friedman.

The idea that corporations are accountable only to their shareholders is very nice in the abstract but leads to grotesque rent-seeking in the long run, which is exactly what has happened in the intervening half-century.

Jesus Christ, Indiana? At least the Michigan loss came against a football school.

Milton Friedman said a lot of tendentious bullshit that's actively harmed the world, but he was never more right than when he said that Rutgers should drop its football team.

White people, gather around. Listen, closely...

Ah yes, New Englanders and their maple...though I don't blame you. I had maple syrup on my peach Dutch baby this morning and it was amazing. 

Please tell me that is a white woman in black face hugged up with him...please don’t tell me that a grown ass black woman was cool like Whoopi with Ted with this...please?

If you're extremely kind and an awesomely polite competitor can you be hit with a Sportsmanlike Reward? Where you get an automatic first down and fifteen additional yards?

Sure thing. And you’re right; Chris Wallace isn’t a patch on his father, for all Mike’s many faults. He’s too much of a water carrier.

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

Yes, Chris!  Ugh.  Thanks for catching that!

The late Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, or his Fox News-employed son, Chris Wallace?

It’s always stunning when a movie is so awful that talented people can’t scrape together a few minutes worth of scenes to make a trailer that at least leaves some doubt.

Adam Devine is genuinely one of my favorite comedic actors currently - I just wish he didn’t do all this bullshit. How do you pick THIS up while also doing Righteous Gemstones?!

I am still mourning the loss of the Times Square Howard Johnson’s. It had one of the best bars in the area, cheap-ish drinks and a clientele that could have been cast for a John Waters movie if he ever set one in New York.

“‘Mini bottles of syrup’? Why do people keep mentioning those? I’ve only ever seen the little single serve plastic tubs with the pull back foil top or those little mini jars of condiments you get with room service. Maybe it’s a Cracker Barrel thing, and I’ve just never seen that one of those places even exists?”

Thank you so much for putting this in my head for the next couple of hours:
