WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS HEADLINE I THOUGHT IT SAID “JOHN RITTER”. I WAS ABOUT TO GO AND CHECK MY BOOKS.

PART OF THE JOKE, WHICH IS NOT DISCUSSED HERE, IS THAT NANNI IS A WRITER FOR SB NATION, AND DISHES ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL ON THE HUMOROUS “SHUTDOWN FULLCAST” PODCAST. HE IS QUITE SELF-AWARE. THE LUDICROUSNESS OF THIS QUEST IS PART OF THE FUN.

PERHAPS IF YOU HAVE BEEN STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH TRYING TO LITERALLY KNEECAP A RIVAL, IT IS ALTOGETHER APPROPRIATE THAT YOUR ACTUAL TALENT GETS PUSHED ASIDE.

SHORT, YES. BUT HARDING WAS NOT “HOMELY.” SHE WAS IN FACT, FAIRLY CUTE.

I PICKED UP SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WHO WERE WATCHING HIS SHOWS OR LISTENING TO HIS ALBUMS THAT IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE THAT THIS TIME IT WAS ACTUALLY HIM.

DO NOT SPEAK EVIL OF GOSPEL MUSIC.

JUDGE OR ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH.

I AM SORRY TO BE SO LATE WEIGHING IN. I REALLY REALLY NEEDED TO CLEAN MY SCYTHE.

I’LL ADMIT IT WAS AN EASY MISTAKE TO MAKE AT FIRST, BUT I AM AMAZED THAT SO MANY OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT THIS PERSON IS TROLLING YOU.

OF COURSE HE IS. HE’S AN OGRE.

I DO NOT GENERALLY EAT, BUT...

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE SOMEONE COMPLAINING ABOUT A LONG SENTENCE AT THE AV CLUB.

THANOS IS VERY DISTURBED INDIVIDUAL. OR WAS, I DO NOT READ THE COMICS ANYMORE. HE HAS PROBABLY CHANGED BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES.

DUDE IS TRYING TO COPY MY LOOK. HIM AND GHOST RIDER. I TOLD HIM THAT THE FLAMES WERE JUST OVER THE TOP, BUT HE DIDN’T LISTEN.

ALMOST THE ONLY ARTICLE ON THE FRONT PAGE NOT ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT/HARASSMENT, AND IT IS ABOUT A DEATH. WELL, ONE TAKES WHAT ONE CAN GET.

AS THE NUMBER OF ACCUSATIONS GO UP, SO DOES THE PROBABILITY OF ONE BEING FALSE. IT IS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE AND VIRTUALLY UNAVOIDABLE.

STEVEN SEGAL? I AM UNSURPRISED. CAN YOU SEE HOW UNSURPRISED I AM?

I THINK THAT COMPARING A BIG BUDGET DC MOVIE TO A SMALLER BUDGET DC TV SHOW, AND SHOWING HOW THE TV SHOW DID A MUCH BETTER JOB WITH THIS THEME, IS TOTALLY VALID, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUITS.

THERE IS ACTUALLY A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRING A LONG GUN INTO A CROWD AT NEARLY-FULLY AUTOMATIC SPEEDS AND FIRING A PISTOL AT A SINGLE PERSON.

YES. OR MAYBE CATALHOYUK. OR ERIDU. THE POINT IS, IT’S AN OLD TROPE.
