Wow, I never knew that. Thanks for the knowledge drop.

Was at a Bengals game a couple weeks ago, and every single normal-to-slightly-above seat was full. It's those mid-level "club" seats that people can't afford and/or don't want. In a place like New York or Dallas, cash-flush dipshits can't wait to buy those kind of seats, if only just to say they did. In southwest…

God damn. He's fucking wasted. I remember this happening, but even so this is remarkable.

Looking at it the wrong way:

"Nothing breeds contempt like frustration and losing, and out of that contempt comes hot takes like this. Sides have to be taken, frauds have to be called out, and everything has to get much messier than it needs to be."

Regardless of the idiocy involved in Barg's shot, J.R. Smith turning around to angrily and publicly chastise a teammate for taking an ill-advised shot at the wrong time is the sort of world-ending hypocrisy that defines this Knicks team.
It was also a lot of fun watching 'Melo play 40 minutes of defense-free,…

Definitely seems like he's the one with the most natural ability who understands the game the least, and that it might take him a while to adjust to learn how to play the pro game. Teams at the very top might not want to fuck with that, absolutely.

I lived in Nashville for three years in the late-aughts. If you can handle/ignore all the religious dickheads, right wing politics, and cheesy "country" bullshit, it's a wonderful place. The Titans fans are pretty great, too: they love the local team but aren't total psychopaths about it. Throw in moderate weather and…

The Titans. He's got roots there, there isn't much in the way of franchise history to overcome, he's a local hero from his time at Vandy, other famous people live there to keep his wife busy, no state income tax, and people will leave him be.

Michaels and Collinsworth seem to do that a lot, just ignore the facts of a situation in favor of not rocking the league's boat and taking what cheap shots they can. They were basically cracking jokes on a dude that got horribly injured on some illegal as fuck, bush league shit. But whatever. Might as well wish Huber…

That's how I was thinking at the end, too. Michaels and Collinsworth were talking shit down the stretch, but I just kept it in my head that after spotting Pitt three touchdowns in the first quarter, Cincinnati "won" 20-9 over the rest of the game. Not that it was an actual win or that thinking that way matters at all,…

Amen to that.

In many ways, Kimo von Oelhoffen ruined my early-twenties.

As a Bengals fan, I can tell you that Pittsburgh scoring a touchdown on a play in which a Pro Bowl-level contributor's jaw was broken on an uncalled penalty is the perfect encapsulation of that game, and what it might do to the season as a whole. The fact that it was an uncalled penalty that is borderline OVERcalled…

Eh, I don't know, man...

Sort of seems like he buried the lede there.

"I texted Sheffield..."

Let me spare you the suspense:

Well, he's not wrong. People don't want to hear that shit, but it's what's up, and he deserves credit for speaking his mind about the situation as he sees it.
