You should really just relax.

Nah, they announced that a while back—they’re doing smaller seasons that will drop more regularly. Season 13 is already in the works. 

Ooooh, that’s nice.  I read it like a louder, and somehow drunker, Bernie Kosar.

the guy who used to write paeans to the saw movies and crank 2 on the avclub drinking spiced pear gin fizzes with his significant other has certainly thrown me for a loop. the almodovar less so, he is a huge film nerd

For what its worth, The Athletic’s NHL coverage is extraordinary. The writing has actually made me a smarter hockey fan. I learn things from  their stuff - its outstanding.

If The Athletic is killing sports sections, it’s because the newspaper industry strapped themselves into the suicide machine. All they’re doing is pushing the button.

Arif has written for the Star Tribune but I don’t think anyone would classify him as a beat writer for the paper. He was mostly writing for a blog.

I’m curious. How many major cities have you been too? I’ve been to quite a few for an extended period of time.

We have an amazing culinary scene, one of the best art museums in the world, awesome architecture, great cost of living, and a vibrant theater culture, with the largest theatrical complex outside of Broadway.

No he’s right, it’s awful here.  Please stay away. 

Yeah Cleveland Sucks. The housing is affordable. Traffic is manageable. The waterfront is pretty. Good food. 

Drew Magary, it is not our fault that you are frustrated, hate yourself, with your choice of lifestyle and occupation. What an accomplishment, look at you, writing for GQ? Wow, just like the Browns you failed to. You are like every depressed critic looking for another pot to stir, trying desperately to get someone to…

The worst part is that while everything here is true, this is still the best roster (on paper) that the Browns have had since the fucking nineties.

I would rather attend every Browns home game for the next decade than spend five minutes with the knob who wrote that garbage.

I was going to point this out: Notre Dame has never played an FCS team. The other two schools to never play an FCS team are USC and UCLA.

Are you high? Seriously? All you need to do is Google “Notre Dame Schedule” to find out you’re wrong. Or, perhaps, read the article. They’re in the discussion every year because they amass a national championship caliber team on paper, then shit the bed multiple times and get taken down a peg. The lack of a conference…

ND plays more games against “Power 5” conference teams than most Power 5 conference teams.

"I already saw Draft Day."

I used to work with Matt at that station. He told me that, shortly after he arrived at the station, he timed out how many seconds it took him to run from the weather wall to the station's basement so that he could stay on the air until the last possible second. Really dedicated guy.
