I feel like the biggest problem with the sex scene in Watchmen is that in the book it’s clearly meant to be sad and pathetic (the washed up hero with performance issues can only get it up after he puts on the costume that doesn’t quite fit him anymore and beats the shit out of some people). Zach Snyder,…

Gun control advocates should stop being such fucking pussies and full on call for repeal of the second amendment. I’m sick of politely asking for half-measures like universal background checks and then just giving up when we lose on even that bare fucking minimum level of gun control. We should have the balls to call…

Jeez. If it happens once or twice you can write it off as networks being micro-managing dicks, but for it be happening this often you’ve got to think Fuller is the problem.

It’s a fair point that we don’t know what’s on the table aside from reporting on a couple of the very top free agents. But in terms of guys not getting signed we’re not just talking about a few of the guys at the top holding out for mega-deals that owners have decided are a bad investment, we’re talking about a huge…

Yeah I get that - Arrieta and Darvish aren’t getting signed until they lower their demands, and in general I think the days of guys over the age of 30 getting 7-10 year contracts is over. I’m fine with that and don’t think it’s collusion as much as it is owners and GMs finally getting smart about statistics. But there…

At this point it’s definitely collusion among owners. I can see some of these guys not getting signed or not getting the money they want, but a lot of these guys should be easily offered and accept 5 years/$35M and the fact that they’re not is crazy.

I mean, the expectation would have to be for an undefeated or near-undefeated season every year that the team had that player group, right? On the other hand, if one of those guys gets a serious injury all they’d have to replace them with would be D-league rejects.

I don’t know what to make of Rose McGowan. She’s incredibly brave for speaking out and I can’t imagine how traumatizing it must have been to have (a) been assaulted, (b) had people not believe her and ostracize her from her industry for years, and (c) been called crazy for so long. But at the same time, she’s clearly…

He’ll sign for the Jets and then either blow out his knee or tear something in his throwing shoulder in Week 3.

I generally prefer for bars to not have TVs unless it’s for something specific, so not just sports but also every once in a while when I can drag my ass out on a Sunday night to watch like, the GoT premiere or something. And I hate TVs in restaurants - my dad dragged me to some shitty steakhouse recently that had…

Neutrogena salicylic acid daily in the shower because even at age 30 I’ll still get zits and blemishes if I don’t wash my face - with something that has acid in it! - daily. I moisturize with an anti-razor bump/anti-skin irritation cream on days that I shave (like 2-3 times per week) and occasionally use a moisturizer…

Whole lot of #notallBostonians going on in these comments. It’s almost like Boston fans.... have thin skins?

Punting on 4th down instead of going for it is an automatic 2 points to your opponent.

The internet: a constant reminder that there are way more people dealing with untreated mental illness, anger management issues, and illiteracy than you thought possible.

Battletoads & Double Dragon

I mean, I was also a kid in the 90s who loved baseball but I’m fine with guys who very obviously used steroids not getting in. I wouldn’t be that bothered by it if they did get in either, but whatever.

Eh. From my understanding of what the going rate for a standup special is, $500,000 is low for an established comic, and despite the fact that Monique is very much not my cup of tea, I think she has a large enough fan base and has been around for long enough that she could reasonably expect something in the $2-3…

I think it would be fair to say that the disparity shouldn’t be that large, but it would be fucking bonkers for Netflix (or anyone else) to offer Monique the same amount for a standup special that it offers Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle.

Who drinks Corona in the middle of January?

I’ll confess my ignorance of the current MLB labor situation (e.g. when the current deal is up, how likely independent observers think we are to get a lockout), so what do people who do pay more attention to that think of this? It seems to me, the baseball rube, that between this, some of the other changes Manfred has…
