Barstool sucks so unbelievably hard that it’s only useful as a general signifier of other things that suck. If I see some dipshit kid with a Barstool sticker on his laptop in the coffeeshop (or worse, my classroom), my mind is at rest knowing he is a clown and not to be taken seriously.

Also, Nashville is an exception to that whole gov’t city thing, though. I’m sure lots of people commute but it’s also objectively a pretty great place. I fucking looooove Nashville, and not just based on downtown.

White, I’d imagine. Oakleys.

This comment sucks

Also, I’ve been around other government-centric moderate-sized cities in the US (DC doesn’t count, it’s too big), and those shits can get WEIRD at night and on weekends. Like zombie-apocalypse empty. State capitals that are extra-governmenty and maybe on the smaller side? You cant sell tickets in lots of those places,…

Brawndo! It’s what plants crave!

Similar story with the booze and pizza but it was NBA playoffs and I drunkenly moved a big chair very close to the TV, filled a mixing bowl with ice and beer cans to be a portable cooler, and proceeded to eat pizza and drink. Wife gets home early while I’m in the bathroom. I see the tableau through her eyes as soon as…

I like this and I’m stealing it as my own to be used in conversation. In the unlikely event I ever run into you at a dinner party and throw this little observation at you as if I’m clever as hell, I apologize now.

I think you may not have seen Barnes play In the minors then. His minor days were all about his control problems, which only recently have improved. I don’t doubt he threw at Machado but he’s also not the laser beam Sale can be with location.

This is crazy. Just finished Bissell’s Extra Lives and his rhapsodic (and fucked up) final chapter about GTA IV and Niko (and cocaine) is an amazing piece of writing.

Even now, some dinosaur part of my young-man jack-off-brain is able to snap to utter focus and attempt to decode those squiggles.

Right, but at the same time as a (traditional) sports fan and a fan of video games, the push to league-ify and tournament-ize some games does mean that some options may come off the table. Lots of meat-sports (pardon the term) do take certain options for taunting and mind-games off the table, and that’s OK. Delays of…

Jesus Christ.

Then again, the Padres are already basically a AAA team so that could be an easy swap?

I came here ready to fucking throw hands based on the header image, Samer. I’m over here like, “what the fuck does he have to say about Katya Zamolodchikova?”

Soccer won’t be any better, man

See also: Rickey Henderson. Some people see the way he kept going and going and insisting on his viability to the bitter end as a sad thing. I see an absolutely magnetic mix of arrogance and beauty and a strange sort of humility. It’s amazing to be so good at something and so dogged at pursuing it.

The fact that you think this is how the world works is adorable. Bless your heart.

This “cafe” area of the store made my nose bleed for about a year straight when I first moved to PA. It was about 2 years before I started buying beer at Wegman’s. That shit is motherfucking confusing and needlessly complicated.

Yes. Minor league ball is one of the great pleasures of the world. Cheap tickets, good weather, wonderful atmosphere, and the strange magic of ballparks that can either be top-tier new stadiums or decrepit, aging messes. I love the big leagues, as far as what I follow, but I’ll become a faithful follower of any nearby…
