No, Gronk is hilariously bad at percentages, it’s just that he always preternaturally knows when 69 is the correct answer to anything.

Potentially controversial take: hockey games in football and baseball venues sucks. Yeah, it’s fine to be able to say “ooh lookie, a hundred thousand people saw the Maple Leafs and Red Wings play in the snow” but until the NHL figures out how to put at least a few rows of fans near the glass, it just looks like…

To be fair, a good portion of people in the country don’t seem to know what happened during the Civil War, what it was about, who won, or that it’s over.

Ben Roethlisberger (allegedly) raped at least two women and is a huge douchenozzle who regularly throws his coaches and fellow players under the bus, and also (once again) he probably definitely sexually assaulted at least two people, but sure, let’s keep talking about Antonio Brown is the bad guy.

It would explain fans.

The best part of the Olympics is all the weird stuff though, I can watch hockey anytime.

I like caps because it makes things more interesting. In any group of 30 people, be they billionaires or homeless, you will have cheapskates and guys willing to say “fuck it, let’s have fun.” It is more fun when everybody is forced to play by the same rules. When teams can’t just take advantage of cheapskates (at…

It also has the usual implication that they could not raise a billion dollars in taxes and use it for other things like roads, schools, teachers, EMT’s, snow plows, public parkland, etc.

I would be 1000% on board with naturalization ceremonies taking the place of military induction ceremonies at sporting events. Good for the kids for serving their country, but naturalization can and should inspire the same pride without contributing to this increasingly weird elevation of the armed forces.

Look, I don’t think anyone is arguing that MLS is comparable to any of the big European leagues. There is no sense in shitting on fans celebrating success for their local team.

Counterpoint: Babe Ruth living today, in a country with legal alcohol, internet pornography, and being paid tens of millions of dollars a year, would be dead within 12 months. It’s like when Bender became human in that one Futurama episode.

For a double bill showcasing the worst of 2018's toxic nostalgia, creative bankruptcy, and fundamental slick shittiness, settle in for Ready Player One and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

a fanbase whose city is best known for one of the biggest choke-jobs in sports history,

This isn’t actually Obama’s fault, the EPA has been using specific emissions rules since its inception. We measure all emissions in the US for emissions certification in parts per million (PPM). That means an Escalade can have better “emissions” than a Chevy Spark. This makes no sense, what we should care about is the…

There’s no good reason to play this match at all. It should be forfeited to Boca. The violence on the part of the River fans should cost their team.

Well, that’s the part of the problem. The Democrats didn’t do enough to convince people to get out and vote, so less than 2/3 of eligible voters went to the polls.

I see this a lot. The idea of putting the onus on the voter. For example, if I was making your assertion, I would have said, “if the Democrats had put up a candidate that would have carried these 2 states.” It isn’t my responsibility as a voter to vote in a candidate in which I don’t believe. It isn’t my…

It’s not about your paycheck having a temporary increase. It’s about the millions and billions of dollars corporations and the 1% are saving on taxes. It’s about that fact that the temporary tax cut on the middle class isn’t actual wage growth. It’s about that the fact that in order to cut taxes on the ultrawealthy…

Hey man, I got my tax cut. I noticed because the numbers after the decimal in my paycheck are important to me. We were able to upgrade to two-ply toilet paper this year!

1st Gear: It’s called trickle down economics. It won’t happen immediately. It’s not gush down. It can take years, Years! In fact, I’m still waiting for Reagan’s tax cuts to trickle down to me. But it’s coming. It has to be coming. Republicans have been telling me for years that cutting taxes on the rich and…
