Frozen envelope/NBA rigged the Patrick Ewing draft for the Knicks.

The Gulf War is definitely the one I have the clearest memory of, though a few images of the ‘88 election have stayed with me. I was living in New Hampshire, so our TV was inundated with political spots — the infamous Willie Horton ad was regularly on TV and compelled me to ask my parents what “repeatedly raping”…

This is sad. Affleck’s been in and out of rehab for alcohol a few times. He’s clearly drunk as hell here, slurring his words and happily looking like an asshole.

Am I awful in thinking that the issue is less the non-casting of Banks and the casting of Maguire? Peter Parker is a high-school senior. At no point in Spider-Man does Maguire look like anything other than an older dude with large eyes pretending to be a high schooler.

Can we count this as a loss for the Cardinals?

I’m told that Milon’s Secret Castle is a great game with a lot of fun levels, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you because as I child I always died within about 10 minutes.

The Rays were, until last year, operating under a terrible contract with the city of St. Petersburg keeping them at the Trop until 2027. Last year the City Council voted down that contract 5-4 but now the Rays are dealing with three or four municipalities in the Tampa Bay area competing for the opportunity to build…

There are more dedicated hockey fans in any one neighborhood of Quebec City than in the entirety of Nevada.

Bill Simmons is just as cool and just as edgy as Bill Maher.

China Basin/SoMa in the late 90s — when the land was allocated for the Giants — was far from “the most booming real estate market in the country.” It’s blocks away from an area that even today, after multiple waves of gentrification, is legitimately pretty grim.

Four of your next seven series will be the Giants, the Pirates, the Rangers and the Cubs. Good luck.

As a Giants fan, I want to thank the Dads for this one.

I for one would have no fucking clue how to answer this question if it were posed to me over the phone:

I know a lot of self-identified Native Americans who don’t find the name “Washington Redskins” offensive. But when you ask them about where their Native American heritage comes from, you start hearing about a distant cousin who was “1/3 Choctaw” or a great-great-grandmother “with olive skin.”

YACHT is a phenomenon I’ve only encountered in passing:

Yeah, and their kids are likely in their 20s-30s at this point. They’re approaching retirement, and they likely don’t have as many responsibilities as they did when their kids were growing up.

No, they were right the first time. Retirement simply brings new flavors of misery: the breakdown of the body, seeing friends die, watching your children increasingly finding you tiresome and useless.

Yes. YESSSSS. Gimme more of this. Some of that good Kinja. Some of that pure, mean-spirited self-righteousness. That cynical, judgmental smarm that can’t appreciate others’ experiences, others’ ideas, others. Lay it all out there, you magnificently pure political creature.

Coachella is mostly a thing because it’s so close to LA. It’s too big, it attracts terrible people, and its become more of a publicity event than an actual festival you want to spend time enjoying.

I had never seen that idiotic moat plan before — what an absolute disaster of an idea in an age of terror threats. If there was any sort of legitimate attack, you effectively have four exit paths for 60,000 NFL fans.
