Rick and Morty is so awesome that even this guy finds it mildly interesting.

Very good to know! I had no idea what that header quote meant, and I am very much in suspense, but I respect both these guys too much to skip to the end of the interview. [Edit: yes that is brilliant]

Well I don't think the gov't did that, not only because it would seem like a dubious PR strategy, but also based on evidence, and the fact that speculation about spillover violence from a protest seems plausible enough to me (maybe some bias of mine shows there, I can't really say, that just does not seem like a crazy…

My impression of the "Ten Things I Think I Think" column:

That is mostly what I care about. The actual people involved only matter to the extent that they're in cahoots with Goddell etc. I am much less concerned about who ate his sandwich from the fridge even though it said "BILL SIMMONS" in big letters on it.

Yes that is a stupid argument, I am not sure where you got it from.

*projectile vomits* ahhh nerd trigger warning please…

His NFL stuff is still usually entertaining, although it has become less tolerable for fans of any Manning-QBed team. I like the podcast when he and Cousin Sal are talking about some random shitty team.

Oh that's because I don't read Gawker, and assumed it knew that it sucked compared to all its various spinoffs.

I honestly cannot think of a website with a higher opinion of itself. I do like Bill Barnwell a lot.

This is the Steve Sanders meets Ultimate Warrior of Newswires. Even though Simmons got gradually more annoying over the years, I support anything that makes ESPN look bad.

"Can we maybe talk about anything else?"
"Sure."
"Thank God."
"Hey, man, it's funny you should mention God, because my new thing is… the Bible. Tell me, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior?"
"So, noose-wise, what are we talking? You use a standard sailor's knot or more like your average…

I named one of my fantasy football teams The Funky Spiderman, I don't think anyone else gets it though. Should've joined a Squanchers-only league.

ATTACK ON FAITH!!!!!!!1

The scandal contends the White House knowingly mislabeled a terror attack as something else. When FOX news makes this claim, it is ironic because that is exactly what FOX news did after the South Carolina shooting, and in the latter case there is hard evidence of what was known at the time.

Curses, a Pavement song has eluded me until now. I guess I've heard it at some point if it's on Luxe and Reduxe.

I will always remember Hangar 18 as the impossible Guitar Hero 2 song. I did beat it eventually, but damn you Guitar solo 7.

Was feeling generous today, 2x the songs!

My favorite is a very rare Mary Worth in which she has advised a friend to commit suicide.

I never got the knock on AT's style either. I guess there's no accounting for taste or whatever. I just think at its best, AT is an amazingly beautiful work of art. *packs bong*
