I was a hater, and continue to hate their first two albums. (Haven’t heard the new one yet.)

It’s weird to call it underrated when it was album of the year from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Slant.

I fucking detested the first two albums and finally gave Modern Vampires a chance a couple years ago. It is a great album.

Did you enjoy the game last night?

kill me now

I think Chris missed the part where the Bucks lost by double digits just five times this year, twice without Giannis. And they had never been outscored by more than 20 (Orlando, without Giannis). And they were, by far, the best team in the league according to SRS.

The implicit argument is that this is a slippery slope that leads to more superstars telling entire rooms of “sportswriters” to fuck off, when in reality, Westbrook will be a superstar in this league for one or two more years, tops. Once he’s irrelevant, no one will give a shit. 

I have a cold brew pot but this works well also.

We’re grading on a curve at this point, so I’ll happily take what we got. Otherwise, I agree with you.

The penalty for pepper-spraying a public masturbator is virtually zero. If you catch a guy jerking off on a bus and mace his ass, there’s no fucking way he’s going to go to the cops. Just be ready to run and don’t look back until you’ve made some distance.

But how will I know that America’s the greatest country and the only country that’s ever done anything good if I don’t have songs to teach me so?

Our home gym is in our garage, right next to our furnace and hot water heater, so one day I smell gas while we’re working out, and I’m sniffing around the room, asking my wife if she smells gas herself. She, not one to broadcast any bodily discharge, ever, turns red but says nothing. Finally I look her in the eyes and…

I think the ending of “The Door” is one of the greatest scenes in television history, and on par with the rest of the show’s big twists, so it’s in my top 5. Otherwise I agree.

I mean, I’ll be real clear about this: the Mavs don’t beat the Heatles without all of those players playing like their lives depended on it. You simply don’t beat prime-of-his-prime LeBron with a threadbare roster propped up by just one player. This is not the 2009 Cavs’ dogshit roster, who rode LeBron’s all-time-best…

You really need to go to Basketball Reference and look at Horry’s advanced stats. You are really missing the boat on this one. Something happened to that guy during long playoff runs, and although he wasn’t a volume scorer, he was nasty, nasty good. 

So you know that Kidd, Terry and Chandler all had higher BPMs than Dirk in the 2011 playoffs, right? Not loaded?

Tyson Chandler will never get the respect he deserves. Dude had a .218 WS48 (5th in the NBA) during the 2010-11 season. Not a superstar. Led the league in ORtg in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. Not a superstar. Led the league in TS% between 2011 and 2013. Not a superstar.

What if the most athletic dude trying to assassinate Franz Ferdinand fell through a wormhole, landed in an NBA lineup, and had to figure it out?

Someday, people are going to realize that Porzingis, a long-twos volume chucker who’s never cracked league-average shooting efficiency, and who rebounds like he’s a 6'4" shooting guard, is not a transformative talent. The Mavs are going to max him, and it’s going to be a big-ass mistake.

Johnny Manziel looks like a dude you see buying a pair of Monsters and some 99-cent snack cakes in a rural Idaho gas station at 9 PM.
