Didn’t he oppose the effort by his players to unionize?

Did he coach at Bowling Green before or after the Massacre?

David Shaw? (Please don’t ruin David Shaw for me...)

Here we go... Swatch all the simpletons stampede onto this thread with their Swiss-related puns...

I refuse to believe in a world wherein the Stolen Chargers are a benchmark, a standard of excellence you compare yourself to.

(It was adorable, truthfully...)

Fool’s gold buddy, fool’s gold. If you rely on the Chargers, you’re asking to be let down.

This is such a bad take. Sure, it transits through Bob ‘Two Tugs’ Kraft’s bank account for a while, but ultimately the money Bill Belichick gets in salary comes from your and my pocket, every time we buy a set of winter tires, every time we insure our truck, every time we take our family to dinner at Chico’s Faux…

For a special vicious kick in the crotch, I had a lovely Australian girlfriend who was lovely and all, but she insisted on incorrectly calling raisins ‘sultanas’.  Unsurprisingly, we broke up.

It’s wild how his face has aged decades since his “I’m 40!” tirade, but the hair(piece?) hasn’t changed one bit.

I hope that we’re using the royal “idiots on the internet” here, but yeah, that’s what my question was about, like, am I missing something here? Because I do have very basic construction and renovation knowledge, and these bidets are clearly being (fraudulently?) marketed as being a quantum leap in comfort and…

Bill Belichick is very blatantly displaying that he’s forgotten where his fat paycheque comes from.

I feel that we shouldn’t whitewash Mike Ehrmentraut’s character. He landed in New Mexico after fleeing Philadelphia following his commission of a double-murder, which was caused in no small part because he was on the take while serving on the police force. I enjoy Mike’s role too, he’s very entertaining, and I have to…

I went out and searched for ‘Fleabag’, based on how much I enjoyed ‘Killing Eve’. I love Jodie Comer, her performance and how her character was written Season 1, so I googled and learned of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and determined I should watch her show based on the reviews. It is worth all the cult-ish hype, it does a…

I guess I’m playing with fire now that the show has won Emmys, that the ending will be spoiled for me. I’ve been watching ‘Fleabag’ one episode at a time, attentively, at a leisurely pace, not bingeing with one eye on my laptop. I am already planning to rewatch though, the British accent sometimes throws me. I’m glad…

Is being an Emmy voter functionally impossible these days? I guess you can see the (on the outside) two dozen main contenders at the Oscars, or listen to the 50 or so records up for awards at the Grammys, each task would take about 50 hours over a full year, but how can you watch all the TV, all the seasons? How can…

You’re on the right track, but I don’t know if your first draft truly captures it.  Worst possible time, sure, but I think it’s more of a case of ‘really soon, before you’ve had a chance to imagine the worst case scenario.’  What’s that line of the news cycle being overtaken by events?  Put something about that in…
