minus the incredibly pervasive sexism in it, of course:

Peter King is really the only one even close to challenging Simmons as “Most Powerful Sportswriter”, but King clearly has dominion over NFL only, whereas Simmons reached NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL fans.

WHAT???? He’s one the most thin skinned people ever.

fuck you

I felt more anger towards the upper clergy rather than the perpetratorrs when the Catholic molestation came to light. The perpetrator priests are clearly mentally ill and suffering from mental problems to be preying on children. Clearly terrible, but I find it hard to 100% put the agency on the mentally ill.

Curious to see how OKC and Memphis fare in the next 10 years.

On some level, the lack of providers makes sense because laying the infrastructure is very costly. Think about how much construction is involved if you want to run fiberoptic cables underneath everyone’s home in a city. That’s a LOT of breaking concrete and digging.

Please do a modicum of research before spouting off conspiracy theories. Fox News pollsters are trustworthy (an “A” rating from 538's Pollsters Ratings https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/) and Alabama polling is crazy right now because it’s a confluence of special circumstances, from the pedophilia…

The best squid partying happens with uninked land, since you can see the opponents:

I don’t know what about my message made you believe that I am strictly voting for “my team.”

George Carlin said it best in a blistering 1996 special about Republican hypocrisy over “the sanctity of life.”

Your argument is in some sense a microcosm of nonvoters. “My vote won’t matter because I’m in a safely Red/Blue state. Thus I won’t vote because it doesn’t matter”

What is your understanding of how Franken seats will be filled? Because mine is that the Governer of Minnesota (Democrat) gets to appoint the successor.

The worst thing about Romney’s moochers comment was that he said, Hey man, look at all these “gifts” that the Democrats are promising their voters when referring to policies for for women, minorities, gays,and programs like Medicare, Social Security etc, as if basic, equal protection under law and social safety nets…

Yup, Jon Stewart still comes across to me as a very thoughtful, measured man. And from his perspective, I completely see why he disregarded the allegations. The original accuser (Jen Portman?) retracted her statement, and a different comedian (Doug Stanhope) came forward as the comedian who did the deeds. So, as…

“pennies coated in cyanide” would be a felony and an open-shut case for prison.

Something tells me that the liquidity of that $1 settlement isn’t going to harm Ms. Swift too badly.

Looks like a blocking foul, instead of a charge.

I know Drew’s mostly kidding, but 538 has been subjected to such horseshit for no good reason. They continued to earn my respect in 2016 after their smash success in 2012 and 2008.
