Always had a soft spot for Savio Vega.

He is both an ass and a penis, ergo, it is both.

Isn’t the Eddie Murphy joke in “Raw” ultimately that the burger was fucking awesome but Little Eddie was too much of a whiny asshole brainwashed by pop culture to realize how awesome it was?

His work reporting on the Belt Wars deserved some kind of award. Not a Pulitzer, but... something.

Unless, of course, it’s kind of like Uber, where VCs are the real support behind the model, and in this case they’re taking aim at what’s sometimes the most popular section of newspapers in order to kill off the incumbents and then, eventually, jack up prices on The Athletic once the mainstream competition is dead.…

I’m constantly surprised it hasn’t become a hipster rec league sport like kickball.

Here’s hoping this path is more Moises Alou than Aaron Rowand.

Not only that: Halberstam made his reader wade through all sorts of non-essential bullshit. It can be argued that “Best and the Brightest” only has, really, a few nuggets of interesting stuff buried among the “Robert McNamara was really young!” passages.

The answer is barbecue sauce. It splits the differences between a bunch of other sauces and goes well with all sorts of meats. We use it on potstickers with great success, and I’m sure there are plenty of places in Texas and elsewhere that use barbecue sauce on tacos.

This is just a public airing of longstanding local lore, which holds that before BofA Stadium’s site was selected, the Panthers seriously considered building near the Carowinds theme park (mentioned in the WCNC piece). Like, making the 50-yard line the state line is kind of cool, I guess? And it’s a better idea to…

San Jose doesn’t exactly have a bustling downtown, too. (I know the guys who want a social life are probably living in SF or the Peninsula or something.)

Won’t someone PLEASE think of the lizards?!?!?!

Just adding to the layers: Say the Pats had moved on from Brady and gone with Jimmy G after this season. Where would be Brady’s logical landing spots? Buffalo is Buffalo, and the supporting cast isn’t all that great. Denver and Arizona are obvious, but have unsettled coaching situations. NYG seems attractive,…

Hey. It took until John Wooden’s 16th season at UCLA to win a championship. *shrugs*

You just know that Mike Brown would be stupid enough to pursue someone like Brian Kelly if Lewis had decided to move on after this season.

To be fair: That’s a big plot home throughout the entire series. In a universe where droids are sentient and have fucking personality, why do any people actually get into fighter ships at all? The battles should all be drone fights.

I’ll appeal to authority and point you to Bill Barnwell’s analysis and conclusion that:

There’s a classic Christmas song written in the 2000s!

The biggest problem is establishing an audience, as the post notes. There’s little use trying to convince people to cheer for and invest in a minor league football team, but what about pitching the league as a proving ground where fans of any NFL team might want to tune in?

This still isn’t the dumbest Apple ad ever, which was the iPhone commercial that argued smaller screens are better because they fit your thumb.
