Oh, this make more sense. The video I’m seeing in the article above is showing a different, less spectacular goal (still a decent one, but not “goal of the summer” material).

I’d bet my last dollar the chant was started by plants, hired agitators, with his full knowledge.

Hmm, I find exactly the opposite - podcasts and audiobooks have ruined me for actual books...

Just +1 for Wyman’s podcast (this episode and all others). If you are interested in History told in an engaging manner, you should really check it out.

I am reminded of an interview with some sports writer on KNBR (San Francisco) I heard, oh, 15 years ago or so (I think Ralph Barbierie was the interviewer). The writer (whose name I don’t recall) said something like “My father taught me: you don’t change what team you root for and you don’t change political parties.”…

Nobody said Dylan wasn’t credible, just that the corroborating witnesses could all be said to have an axe to grind (which, if nothing else, is going to make legal action harder to pursue).

I think he’s kind of the opposite of that. Ryan was a guy whose most remarkable attribute was his incredible longevity, both within a given game and over his career. Sanders had a relatively short, but extremely dominant career. If I was going to make a baseball comp I’d say Koufax. 

I’m pretty sure he saw Barry run into the 3 other guys and just kind of assumed the play was over and stood up and turned around. Pretty great.

One of the most annoying things about Sanders coverage was the running line that he didn’t know what he was doing, he just had fantastic reactions or some such nonsense.

Eh, when compared to the other turds it looked like a goddam masterpiece. And anyway, I’m usually down for a good ‘hero quest’ movie. I always think of Neverending story as more of a meta-story because i read the book first (yeah, I was *that* asshole 12-year-old).

If *I* could play devil’s advocate for a minute, you’ve been served for a lawsuit related to injury and trauma to my client.

That seems likely. Although as someone who has worn a mascot costume for his son’s elementary school, those things are a bitch to see out of.

I mean, is the bar encouraging people to show up there armed to the teeth? I do think that they should pay the license fee ($400/year seems pretty reasonable), but comparing them to the Bundys is a pretty massive false equivalency.

Yeah, that’s what seemed odd, but maybe it was just misreported here - if he was asking the dealer for the size of the *bet* it would make sense.

It’s worth remembering that some people do come out on the other side of that in decent shape. I’m not like a massive Mark Wahlberg fan or anything, but he certainly managed to make the teen heartthrob to adult movie star transition. Also Kurt Russell, Justin Timberlake, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, etc. I’m not…

Is this saracasm? Because teens *do* love jokes about mating...

Saw the trailer for this before Toy Story 4, and while it was a little cringey, it wasn’t even close to the worst looking trailer we saw. Angry Birds 2, whatever the fuck that was about the race car adjacent dog, the movie about the undersized sled dog (which has a remarkable amount of a-list actor talent (though not…

What *I* remember is the jingle, which *still* gets stuck in my head, unbidden...

Enjoy being put on the serial killer watch list! 

I mean..that’s kind of the point. The people acted like people might plausibly act in this situation (even just the ‘being lost in the woods is scary’ part outside of any ‘witch’).
