This post reminds me that I haven’t played FF6 in about a year or so. Gotta rectify that. I still cry every time I play the opera and its been 20 years.

I originally read “gray market” as “gay market” and was really confused for a second or two there.

Being the most pro-Trump franchise in the NFL isn’t good enough for these people?

“The only true solution to tanking, which also happens to be the most ethical, is to eliminate the amateur draft entirely.”

The most impressive streak in sports(writing) lives on: The “reading a Drew Magary article makes me less eager to want to have kids” streak now stands at 1,536 articles and counting.

Shhhhhhhh...that doesn’t fit Billy’s narrative so we aren’t allowed to talk about it.

31.5 teams are in the US. The Jags are split between northern Florida and London these days

Shouldn’t have fired Pelini. Guy was a red-ass but he won there. Problem is Nebraska thinks it is still 1994 and they should be winning national championships. Those days are gone and they aren’t coming back.

“Larry Michael: Painting by Numbers High Above a Field of Dreams” 

That’s the thing. Seemingly every cop is either A - bad or B - silent in the face of A

There are a lot of terrible teams in the NFL so far this year. Yes it is early, blah blah blah, but I just wanted to point that out.

“When the Juggalos finally march, they lead with a banner that reads SCRUBS. A group of World War II veterans from Iowa, identically dressed in red, look on. I ask them what they think. “This is what we served for,” says one. Another nods, jowls flapping, and repeats a couple times: “Free Speech!”

Good call linking the 1992 Rumble. Brain’s work is master class. May have to watch it again tonight before (during?) Raw

Serious question - why redact the names of the posters?

I miss Nazi Shark, but I think that’s a little too on-the-nose these days to bring back.

Sort of related to your point...if I ran an NFL team I’d build a 40-45,000 seat stadium with all the seats close to the field and every view amazing. Basically, something like White Hart Lane or Stamford Bridge. Think that’s way better than some 90,000 seat monstrosity that you’ll have trouble filling unless the…

As great as Lalas’s rant was, shouldn’t he have included Sunil Gulati and the rest of the USSF in it? Aren’t they culpable as well for the sorry state of American soccer? 

Gonna laugh for days when they lose in the ALDS to some shit team like Anaheim or Minnesota.

My mom’s condo association in suburban Chicago banned gas AND charcoal grills. She had to buy a special electric grill that I had no idea existed til I saw it the for the first time in action this summer.

Gotta beat the dead horse sometime - only way to show the non-dead horses you aren’t fucking around.
