“...and I’d really like to thank my son.”

The fuck?

If you actually took a second to research the logo and who Chief Black Hawk was, not only would you have learned that it’s not considered controversial as other logos depicting native americans are, but exactly how it is tied into the state of Illinois and the original owner of the team.

How about just in general:

I mean it’s a matter of taste and it’s pretty much impossible to argue. That being said, if the Blackhawks and Red Wings aren’t your #1 and 2, respectively, then you’re wrong and I hate you.

I think I speak for all of us when I say

On an almost weekly basis, she was required to take dictation of emails from him while he was naked.

If my grandmother could have a baby at 45 in 1953, Duckworth would have one at 53 now.

Any take on this subject that is not “pierce is petty as hell and should stop being an asshole” is objectively wrong.

You get one chance in your life to have your jersey retired, and you only get that if you’ve been an incredibly important part of an NBA franchise’s history. You’ll live, on average, 28,740 days, and ONE of those days will be the day where you get to sit back and be like “I worked my ass off for fifteen years and I’m…

You know, I’m a child.

It encapsulates so much about these bogus and ahistorical and contrafactual and economically illiterate stores coming out of the media. The term is “Cletus Safari.”

“Sir, what makes you qualified for this position?”

Really, REALLY disturbing, this guy’s whole disgusting life. I just followed that KyCIR rabbit hole too, thanks to savvy WaPo comments:

There’s a lot more going on with his suicide than just him being exposed as a rapist. I say this because there is going to be an avalanche of blame (and harassment and worse) directed at his victim. Before he blessedly relieved the Earth of his presence, a local public radio station was publishing an ongoing…

As is often the case, I really don’t have anything productive or informative to say. I just found an all-purpose gif of Symone Sanders from last night that I think many of you women will find very useful in future debates with Deadspin commentators:

That’s my hometown! There were two prominent movies filmed there in my life (Slapshot and All the Right Moves) and both depicted the town, quite accurately, as a depressed hell-hole. The plot of both movies can basically be summed up as all the main characters being desperate to get out of Johnstown by any means (and…
