Asking A Birdman not to soar

Always great when some dickhead shouts “DURR SPEAK ENGLISH DURRRR,” and then his command of the written english language is hot garbage. 

Holy shit that made me angry as a 12 year old Knick fan. The subsequent years of course made me angry that I am a Knick fan at all, but fucking hell did that stupid car chase piss me the fuck off. It still does.

I’ve been calling NBC Sports for weeks. They kept showing Hurricanes instead of the goddamn Hartford Whalers games.

Ahem.

The issue is that while employment is low, the quality/pay of the jobs is going down hill. That’s why you see the difference between the median and the average wage growing.

I feel like all the people that wanted to try to do a halfway decent job are already out, leaving only the grifters and the ones with an agenda.

I was surprised at how effective Tillerson was. I think that was a lot of the problem Trump has with him. He was doing a decent job and not giving Orange Julius all the credit.

It’s also not about the ability to attract a woman, it’s about the ability to not be ‘given’ the ‘right’ woman by society. For your 60 year old friend, a 60 year old woman wouldn’t be acceptable, she’s past her prime while he is still a virile man!

You don’t have to read his mind—you just have to bribe the guards stationed outside the meat locker under the Anaheim Matterhorn and they’ll let you have a chat with the man himself.

There’s a difference between acting and changing your voice. Jon Benjamin always sounds like Jon Benjamin, but he DOES act, and if you played me audio clips of Archer, Bob, Ben Katz, or Coach McGuirk, I bet you I could tell which character was which by his acting. Bob generally sounds deflated and/or exhausted, Archer

I couldn’t give the barest minimum of a fuck about baseball as an actual sport/entertainment offering, but the petty weirdness and grotesquery of the obscenely rich people who own baseball teams (above cited Wilpons, Jeter, Marge Schott et al.) is fascinating to me. The Wilpons fiddle-fucking around with what has to

You must be insane. The only thing a Super League would do is make the domestic leagues pretty much *completely* irrelevant, way more than they currently are, as the few good teams in Germany just stay in the Super League automatically the next year unless they manage to get bottom 2 out of an 8-team group, and all

I’d add to this that Dortumund’s chances are enhanced by who Bayern is at the moment. This season felt really weird as it is a team where a lot of the core players are aging out and is clearly heading in to a rebuilding phase, but didn’t really seem to make that many moves to start that process despite just getting a

I’m pretty sure that there was no way for D&D to win. No matter what happened, no matter how it was handled, significant portions of the fandom would be livid. 

I’m currently for making most things in most sports reviewable, but with reviews capped at something like 30-45 seconds. That’s enough time to fix something like the Galarraga perfect game fuck-up, but not so much that it destroys the flow of the game. Can’t figure it out in under a minute? Call stands, back to the

No it is not. Sports is entertainment. Watching the equivalent of The Grassy Knoll video for 10 minutes 5 times a game while nothing else happens is not entertaining.

Ever seen The Prestige? It was kind of like that.

I’m slowly but surely getting on the “remove instant replay in all sports” bandwagon because it fucking sucks.  No, I don’t want to hear about how you lost your money gambling.  No, I don’t want to hear about “getting it right.”  No, I don’t want you to bring up examples about how it benefited the teams I support. 

Daario was the first of her allies who saw exactly who Dany really was.  He told her she wasn’t ruler, she was a conqueror.

From like the non overly angry fanboy part of the fandom;
