A fun thing about being color blind is that the “green zone” looks like shitstain brown to me.

Agreed - X2 was for a very long time considered one of the best superhero movies ever made (it has since slid down my own rankings, through no fault of its own but rather because of the quality of some of the movies that have come out in the past 6 years), but the specific ways in which Hulk failed were more…

Using the n-word “was not in any way shape or form meant to be a racial slur?” I’m so confused. The n-word is far and away the most infamous racial slur. It has never at any point in the history of human language not been a racial slur. What the fuck is this guy talking about? 

Well damn, now I feel like a real chump for only breaking wood with side-kicks and punches when I took taekwondo classes in middle school. 

Not to be a both-sides centrist about it, but I think it’s fair to say both that Scholes’ criticism of Pogba has been a bit unfair and that Pogba has rarely lived up to his potential in a United shirt.

I’ll give you Saleh and Mane but Lukaku is one of the maybe 15 best strikers in the world with room to improve. Rashford has the potential to be one of the best as well but unfortunately his progress has backslid due to Mourinho playing him out of position and undermining his confidence. 

The team could definitely use a few upgrades, but the players they have now aren’t that bad (for instance I don’t think I buy that Liverpool has a better team on paper, even if they’ve been more impressive recently). The big issue is that Mourinho doesn’t know how to get the best out of the players he has - Pogba is…

I still have to be on Twitter a lot for work, and I’m on it on my laptop at home more than I’d like, but I deleted it from my phone recently and haven’t regretted it. I realized that looking at Twitter only ever makes me feel bad - something about it just brings out the worst in people, even people I otherwise like…

Crab legs? I wonder if Jameis is interested in a move to the West Coast...

We got a set of really nice (i.e. sharp as hell) kitchen knives as a wedding gift and my wife sliced her hand open literally the first night we had them. I told her she had to be more careful handling these knives, because they’re much sharper than the piece of shit Rachel Ray ones we had gotten used to, and then I…

Nah, it is. I’m not trying to insult MLS or anything - it’s just that from a combination of being played over the summer and being influenced more by Central American styles of play than European ones, the pace of your average MLS game is noticeably slower than the pace of your average EPL game. 

I made more or less the same comment on another post recently, but Rooney didn’t turn into a bad player, he just lost the speed and stamina to play in the Premier League because he had played more games by the time he was 30 than most players do in their entire careers. MLS is a good fit for him because of its slower…

I hate to rain on the parade of the many absolutely fucking psychotic Michigan fans I know, but as it turns out Jim Harbaugh is in all likelihood a gigantic piece of shit and you should feel bad for liking him.

Come on, dude. Are you really so fucking stupid or naive that you think a coach who pushed his players so hard that one of them fucking died on the field only adopted those tactics once he became a head coach? It’s an entirely fair question to ask Harbaugh and he’s a coward for not answering the question.

(1) Color me surprised that a Nazi piece of shit turned out to be a wife-beater. (2) You have to use better grammar for the headline. I kept on looking in the article for the part where her coach also assaulted her.

My sarcastic go-to is saying “Ah man I bet that guy has a huge dick” whenever some asshole speeds by in a sports car or revs the engine on a loud-ass motorcycle. My more serious go-to is “It is what is is” when something bad happens (after I’ve gotten past the swearing and yelling phase). 

Yeah, every single one of my ancestors either came here before we really had immigration laws or came here illegally. The idea that anyone’s illiterate mick of a great-grandfather who came here and worked as a janitor (it’s cool guys, my great-grandfather was a mick janitor so I’m allowed to say it) “waited in line”…

Yeah, Wayne Rooney never stopped being a good player, he just didn’t have the speed or stamina to keep up with the pace of EPL games anymore. I think he could do really well in MLS given the slower pace of play.

NPR is consistently awful at covering anything that even remotely relates to race. Though given that Code Switch is consistently one of the smartest conversations about race out there, maybe they should just let Gene Demby make their hiring decisions?

This is like the 3rd or 4th season in a row where I’ve seen Frank Gore on a roster at the start of the season and been like, “Holy shit, hold on a second - Frank Gore still plays football?”
