Yeah, Phil Mushnick used the n-word talking about the Nets the year they moved to Brooklyn in an article published in the Post and faced zero consequences.

Eh, I don’t know if I’d drop Eli, but probably start giving Webb some late game minutes to see how he does. Given that next year’s draft class is supposed to be deep at QB and we do need to replace Eli in the near future (if not this year as you suggest), it could make sense to draft a QB with the high first round…

I don’t clean up as regularly as I should, but I do always feel better when I do. Like if I take a sick day, unless I’m so sick I can’t get off the couch without barfing or getting the spins, I usually take the opportunity to vacuum, swiffer/dust, clean out the waste baskets, etc. because it genuinely makes me feel…

My understanding of the issue is that they didn’t necessarily form the union over pay and benefits issues (though I’m sure that in an era when most journalists don’t get shit pay and lousy healthcare this was a factor). The bigger issue is that, for the DNAinfo reporters, a bunch of management decisions including…

If I’m sober, there are a million local pizza places better than Domino’s. But good god when my wife and I have been out drinking on a Friday night the Domino’s on the corner of our block hits the fucking spot.

Yes, Cuba has no issues with race at all. Clearly you’re speaking from a place of authority, deeply well-read on Cuban history.

Right, but I’m not anti-intellectual - I have a good education, a white collar job, like to think I’m fairly well read, etc. My point is that the specific cultural notion of the capital “I” public Intellectual is problematic because so often those people are frauds and all around shitty people and, in my experience,…

The cultural idea of the white, male, Ivy-educated writer of towering intellect is so fucking poisonous - the dudes who embody it almost always turn out to be frauds who are absolutely horrible to women and people of color. And maybe I’m just speaking for myself here, but I went to a good-but-not-elite college and…

The Girardi decision makes no sense. Even beyond taking this year’s team to within one win of the World Series when most people didn’t expect them to even make the playoffs, he spent a huge chunk of his time in charge managing overpaid, over the hill players he didn’t ask for to quite frankly better results than they…

Point well taken, but if that monstrosity up top is typical of the delivery food that’s available near you then I think maybe you’re discounting how good good delivery food can be.

I loved Blade Runner 2049 - one of the most visually striking movies I’ve seen in years and I’ve found myself thinking about it constantly since I saw it last week. I’m glad it was made, especially since I was verrrry hesitant when it was first announced.

My favorite off-season hot take from the Daily News sports page was the many, many articles about how actually Davis Webb is looking pretty good out there and just might be the future of the franchise *makes jerk off motion*

I like a craft brew with a meal, or when I know I’m only have one or two beers, but Bud Light is my go to for BBQs, lazy Saturday afternoons, and parties where I know I’m going to be hanging out drinking for 4-5 hours. Also, an ice cold domestic light beer really hits the spot at the end of a long, hot day in the…

I usually hate slow/long baseball games, but last night was awesome and I was super into it being a long game. It might be relevant that I’m a Yankees fan, but in my defense I usually find long-ass games featuring the Yankees to only be slightly more tolerable than long-ass games featuring times I don’t give a shit…

In an ideal world we’d nominate people to the FCC who actually believe in a muscular regulatory state that could stop this bullshit rather than putting the onus on the consumer. But as it is, these tips are unfortunately useful.

Let’s remember some Jets:

Biker Mice From Mars

If they had been arrested for any of the other crimes you just listed while in the process of seeking medical care for an infant, it absolutely would still be outrageous and people would still be angry. When a parent who has committed a crime is in the process of seeking emergency medical care for their child, I think…

? While it’s true that I can’t recall any fans being ejected for it, Fergie used to pretty frequently denounce that song and ask fans to stop in very strong terms. And it’s been years since I’ve heard that song sung.

It seems like the unfortunate flipside of peak TV producing higher quality but shorter seasons that tell (more or less) complete stories, compared to traditional TV, is responding to critical praise of these shows by giving them more seasons than they need. Sometimes a TV season with a great ending still makes you…
