You know how cats love a good ritual?

One of the teachers at the school I work at is a coach for Lemoyne. I haven’t talked to him about this yet but his story will be awesome when I do. Anyway, the more important part for those that don’t know is that both of these schools are long standing, proud, and important colleges. Many people reading here don’t…

It would make a great 30-for-30 but ESPN will not go near a powerful institution as a subject when they can’t turn it into a sympathetic figure or a feel-good in the end, like Pony Excess. Like, if everyone was convinced Baylor was then and still is a fucking cesspool, then it’s a kinda hard to sell the current…

Can you imagine if Twitter was around during that whole thing? Might be one of the craziest sports’ stories of the last 15 years.

A loss almost bad enough to make you want to kill a teammate and have your coach try to cover things by insisting the dead guy was a drug dealer.

I think the Montreal-Olympics-Were-a-Disaster narrative was partly sustained by the aesthetic/maintenance of Olympic Stadium, which always looked like shit on TV and, diehards notwithstanding, rarely had decent-looking crowds. It was a nonstop reminder in our press. Different story if that was in Ottawa and no MLB…

shhh....please, commenters, don’t spoil this article for me. I’m going to catch it later on NBC as it’s intended.

Because many journalists are craven, bottom feeding opportunists. Much like our President Elect!

Here, a home for you and your opinions.

man...can we get any more pretentious about other people’s beverage preferences?

The Jennifer Frey story was a masterpiece.

Bullshit. Look at North Carolina, which was recently rated as a “struggling democracy” on par with Cuba. Voters in Democratic and black areas were suppressed by the hundreds of thousands, under the publicly stated intentions of the GOP-led Board of Elections. It is not a conspiracy theory, it is a fact to which they…

It took me awhile to figure it out, but I’m now positive Kevin Harlan is channelling Robert McKimson. His playcalling with an idiot on the field closely resembles this announcer when Bugs Bunny does his own Idiot On The Field.

I think it the other way around, the structure of US professional leagues is insane. You can be like the 76ers for years (on purpose!) and there is no downside. Relegation means the best teams play in the Premiere League and if suck you get shipped out a new team comes in. Your team being in a relegation fight and…

What’s embarrassing about it? You’ve said that twice now.

Yeah, it’s strange how Americans won’t embrace a sports that encourages a free market transfer system like soccer but slobs on the knobs of leagues who reward the worst teams with the best chance of aquiring the best talent to improve their team.

That’s not what a slow burn is, mang. While the pacing of ANH is decidedly 1970's for an action film, the story beats are successively faster. ESB’s has an action set piece in all three acts, with a double dose at the end — one group, one personal. And ROTJ is bombastic and gleeful.

the way I see it is this: The Force Awakens was the Star Wars movie we wanted. Rogue One was the Star Wars movie we *needed*
