The “10 day” DL is getting to be ridiculous

I have enjoyed Cersei so much that I am rooting for her now

I just hope CK signs with some team—any team—and either sucks or doesn’t suck and we can resolve this truly endless series of posts one way or another

I kind of read a global warming allegory in what Tyrion said, “our minds aren’t equipped to think of problems that large”

I think Coke Zero is great and a lot better than Diet Coke. Thanks

It’s pretty insane that you could almost carve out a third, albeit entirely hypothetical HOF career out of “what if Babe Ruth couldn’t hit but spent his whole career as a pitcher”

I just went down a wikipedia rabbit hole on the 1971 HOF election because I couldn’t believe that Yogi Berra wasn’t in on the first ballot (he got 67% of the vote but was elected the next year)

Yogi Berra didn’t get in on the first ballot?

APOLOGIZE

I think I probably did the opposite of you—that is that I voted for Obama in ‘08 (the Palin pick was indefensible but so was everything that occurred Sept 20-30) and Romney in ‘12

People on websites like these are constantly chiding McCain, an elected Republican, for acting like a Republican.

You know what would be fucked up? If you walked up to a victim of sexual assault and told him or her: “I’d like to make a television series about what happened to you, but I’d like for what happened to last longer and have it happen every day. Why are you frowning? Don’t you think this could advance the discussion…

The NFL has such a lousy player’s union because there are so many players and so many willing players, and every player except a star QB has far, far less value over replacement than a star basketball player or a star baseball player.

Someone from New Orleans (pronounced “New Orluns”) would certainly say “crawfish” not “crawdad” (or “cray-fish”)

That’s a picture from last night’s game in Philly that had a two hour rain delay

It is because 1) Houston is mainly a football city and 2) Houston is a giant city on the Texas coast surrounded by nothing; it does not really have many surrounding hinterlands like, say, all of New England for Boston

I am kind of surprised that you would report on this and neglect to mention over the weekend that Colin Moran of the Astros broke his face (!) on a foul ball

I clicked on the link. He is not a literal snake oil salesman

He used the word “challenge”. The Soviets did indeed challenge the Germans competitively well before 1944, but they didn’t do by dying. They did it when they stopped dying in such overwhelming numbers.

Soviets efforts probably contributed a solid 1/3 to Allied victory
