I know that you could fill the Verizon Center rafters with banners from years past reading “This time will be different,”

As a Rangers fan, I can safely say that the Bluehshirts shitty play, especially at home, over the last month has been a blessing. Much rather face Montreal than any of the three teams ahead of us. Weird quirk in the NHL’s playoff system (which I like!). I remember in previous years thinking “Thank God the Rangers…

Agreed 100%.

It was all an elaborate scheme!!!

Oh, believe me, I am 100% subscribing to the theory that there was more than one asshole in this confrontation. James Dolan being a weird, petty asshole is a given. I just can say with almost as much certainty that this other fellow was an asshole too. I feel like in our society, we often try to ascribe labels of…

I can’t stand Lombardi from Simmons’ podcast. And Simmons acts like he’s a fucking savant. I would trust Cousin Sal or House for NFL info before that idiot Lombardi. The guy acts like he’s all into advanced statistics, but then clearly tries to emulate Simmons fanboy persona. Comes across as both disingenuous and…

Hamersky denies being intoxicated, saying that he’d come to the Garden straight from instructing a Fordham law class, and wouldn’t have had time to get drunk before the game even if the spirit was willing.

Agreed. This definitely hasn’t been a good year or two or Deadspin, and the quality is going down rapidly. If I see one more shitty, sensationalist article from that Hamilton Nolan guy....

Is that actually a requirement? I never knew that.

Oh for sure. It seems like for every “rags to riches” president we’ve had, there’s one who was born into the world of politics/money. And that doesn’t make them bad Presidents! Or make one who made a Horatio Alger-ish climb a good President.

Well, your definition is the correct one lol. I was stretching it to make a tired and low-hanging joke about politics.

I see I struck a nerve. Root for whoever you like! Never said not to. Just said I don’t understand the over-the-top passion from fans who don’t attend those schools. Like, it takes a special kind of stupid and malice, but also a blind dedication, to do the kind of things that were done to that ref.

He just wanted to give Bobby a little legal experience.

I wasn’t being entirely serious, of course nepotism is a strictly defined term, and I was using it much, much more loosely. And, I agree to an extent, as negative opinions (some fair, some unfair) of Clinton going back to her days as First Lady made it an uphill climb. But she would never have gotten the opportunity…

Or Attorney General!

Yes, I don’t know if this is the strictest definition of nepotism. Are assistant coaches officially “retained”, or are they officially “rehired” by the new coach? Semantics to us, but they could have legal weight. Of course, the dumbest part is that Georgetown actually has a rule about this, of all things, and…

The line is blurrier than you think.

Nepotism in D.C.? Psh, next thing you’re gonna tell me is that the son or wife of a former President is going to contend, and perhaps even win, the race to be the President.

As is your right. No jerk on the internet should tell you who to root for, but I just don’t get the over-the-top passion (not that you would behave like these Kentucky fans). Doing something so stupid and amoral like trying to ruin that guy’s life has to come from some sort of connection to an institution, and I just…

While I like making fun of another school’s academic quality (Especially an SEC school!) as much as the next person, according to US News and World Report, they’re #133 among National Universities. Which, isn’t great, but also, not terrible either! They’re ahead of a bunch of other SEC schools. Hell, they’re ahead of…
