“I respect him. I respect what he does. I believe that he’s doing the best for the United States of America.”—Mariano Rivera

Alas, he is very much a Trumper:

SPOT. ON.

WAZZZZZZUUUUUP

Amen, brother (or sister).

“the announcers just green screen themselves at the arena (probably done at the NYC office)”

Wait, who’s “Michael Hayes”? I only see Dok Hendrix!

But yeah, Michael PS Hayes’ STARS AND BARS ass probably didn’t want to try anything cute around Ron Simmons.

You’re right about Rousey. I don’t think I hate her as much you do — I think she’s a semi-legit childhood fan who actually does want to “be a pro wrassler” for a couple years — but she’s been ridiculously hot-shotted to the main-event because of her name/fame and she is WAAAY greener than a lot of people are publicly…

Shout out to “Nation of Domination Rock”. I totally agree with your entire post and have regularly bemoaned Dwayne Johnson’s turn into “racially ambiguous babyface” (which TOTALLY is his gimmick in his lucrative movie career) — but I can’t lie that I enjoyed the hell out of his time as a cocky, asshole heel in the…

FIRST QUESTION: Are you a Black American person (who sometimes has conversations with other native-born Black American people over the past 50 years)?

Me, I’m a 38 year old Black Guy from Philly who went to an Ivy League university. I enjoy hip-hop, but I also like 80s post-punk music. I’m also really bad at playing…

Yeah, it was Troy Aikman who immediately said, “I don’t like this decision,” when the Eagles lined up to go for 2.

I guess that’s not so surprising that Aikman wouldn’t understand why going for 2 was a good call, but I guess to his credit, he shut his mouth and didn’t say anything futher about it once the Eagles…

Also, unfair to Doogie Howser. He shouldn’t be dragged into this either. Sure, if you’re just going by the name “Doogie Howser”, he maybe sounds like a “Tucker Carlson”, but beyond that, there’s nothing.

I’m pretty sure that Doogie is welcome at the cookout.

Thank you. Very well said.

Good call on “Eye Know”. I totally fell in love with De La when I first heard that song — no lie, it made me think about my high school girlfriend who I was currently breaking up with. (Also: BIG shout out to Steely Dan’s “Peg” on the sample! Got give credit where credit is due!)

I have to give love to the masterpiece…

OH SHIT “YUB NUB”!

+1000, just for that. I haven’t heard this in YEARS! Thank you!

(And yeah, totally agree with the rest of your comment about Doofus McBoneSpurs being reminded that he should be reminded that his death will be celebrated planet-wide and not mourned and that -- OH SHIT YUB NUB! *bobs head to Ewok beat*)

I’m black and I endorse this idea also, but please don’t use Steely Dan if you go with the loud music idea...mainly because I like Steely Dan and they’ve done no harm (as far as I know). Maybe blast some Ted Nugent or Kid Rock instead? I’d happily do the favor of calling the cops on if you brazenly cranked the stereo…

Um...he’s been far gone for quite a while now. The symptoms have been on full blast long before yesterday’s “slavery was a choice” take. The guy was saying all kinds of crazy stuff online right before his nervous breakdown two years ago that caused him to cancel 21 concert dates and commit himself to the UCLA Medical…

I’m thinking she meant: “if you want ‘easy’, ‘vanilla’, ‘non-controversial’, ‘softball’ pablum for your morning show entertainment, go downstairs and see Rachel Ray.

(Mind you, I like Rachel Ray. But Rachel isn’t going to be touching hot-button, politically (and racially?) divisive issues like this for more than five…

Haha. I had the same thought and had to rewatch it a few times to see that Romney was sitting down when the camera did its first pan following Russ walking off. He stood up once the camera passed his seat, and our eagle-eyed camera immediately noticed and did a quick pan-and-zoom to catch Mittens gloating.

Please don’t start with the whining and complaining that made Boston SportsFans 1000x more hateable once they started winning in multiple sports back in the early-2000s. We’re already disliked enough as it is; no need to compound on it and start with the Bostonesque obnoxiousness when all we’ve done so far is win a…

“I am legitimately curious to find out what’s going on with a bloody Rick sitting under a tree with hanging stained glass windows. We’ve been getting glimpses of it since the start of the season.”
