I feel pretty confident I could have done the falling over part

Deadspin does too much traffic to get Splintered. The brilliant executives wouldn’t kill a blog like Deadspin. That’d be like killing your politics blog during a heated election cycle.

I read a tweet from earlier today that the whole plan to bring mini-vans full of veterans with him was just so nobody would boo him when he was pictured on the Jumbotron. Apparently he requested they not announce him at all. Donny Boy doesn’t feel so confident when he can’t pack the stands with his sycophants.

It definitely will. I think this is his first non-controlled public appearance since becoming President, likely to avoid this exact scenario. This will play 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Dude is gonna be pissed.

The “Veterans for Impeachment” signs behind home plate at the top of the fifth was also a nice touch.

I am going to forget what you said about Springsteen and be diplomatic. Can we both agree that David Bowie should not be #1 on this list?

Seger is very underrated.

As a Michigander I’m so ashamed I forgot Seger. He’s top 20.

Part of me suspects that’s how this post got so long.

Brady’s case is exacerbated by the fact that he got genuinely fucked over by the NFL for deflating footballs.

It’s not all about looks.

So you’re say there might be some merit to the theory that Mike McCarthy fucking sucked?

Very sad news for the Mariners. 

Down to the very minute. Good job, all. 

Shit just makes me miss Splinter.

He was too busy thinking of new homosexual slurs to say at the time. 

Great minds and fools!

A look at the 1999-00 and 2000-01 Miami Heat rosters is a great exercise in the Remembering of Guys.

I think the idea is that they’ll use home runs to attract eyeballs during the interminable regular season, then switch to a real baseball in October when the tension of the game is its own appeal and they want them wrapped up before midnight.
