Maybe I’m new to baseball, but how is there no netting behind home plate?

It already looks like a Warhol silk screen at this point. I wouldn't mind a pivot to Gruden-as-modern-art, actually. 

The ones with fries I had were in Argentina! Wonder if it’s a thing across South America more generally. 

Agreed on fries and hot dogs. I’ve also had some decent hot dogs with shoestring fries filling the gap between the underside of the dog and the split of the bun. Adds some satisfying crunch. 

Was the monkey wearing the diaper, or was Tomsula? I MUST KNOW.

This is even funnier since the Dolphins actually won. 

*palate cleanser. Also, so this reply isn’t just me being a spelling stickler, I never thought we’d get even one wonderteen, never mind several! Hopefully they're managed and developed appropriately. 

This is the best Luck joke since Drew called him a sky ogre. +1

Tomsula’s comment two weeks ago about “food that gives you the brown pants” STILL kills me. So glad to see a callback this week. 

I don’t mind it actually! I knew it was supposed to be terrible, and since I hate the way almost all shots taste I was expecting it to be substantially worse than other shots. It’s really not though; the lingering bitter aftertaste is unpleasant, but no more so to me than getting my sinuses singed by whiskey fumes is. 

I’m confused. Diaz pretended to catch the ball and stepped on the plate. Why did Swihart run back to first? I would have thought Swihart would think he’d been thrown out. I know nothing about baserunning though. 

For their last three games, they didn’t have a choice. Denmark’s only options were red and white or white and red, Russia’s only options were red or white, and England’s only options were white or red. 

Consider also Alejandro González Iñárritu. It would be more correct to say that this or that film was directed by González, but Iñárritu is more distinctive and memorable, so he appears to have gone along with people who assume González is a middle name. 

The justifications I’ve seen are less about injuries and more about keeping the bench’s morale up or avoiding yellow cards to star players, which at least don't invent aches and pains out of nowhere but are still probably bullshit. 

I once dunked a whole sleeve of Oreos in Bailey’s. One at a time. I knew it wasn’t good after the first one but I just kept doing it to myself.

I can absolutely see that happening. One of the reasons I got into football a few years ago was simply because I wanted to have a sport to talk about if sports came up in conversation and that seemed like the biggest one, and then coincidentally I found I liked watching it. Now football seems optional, and just like…

What does “crunchy sock” mean in this context? It’s not a jack sock, right?

A meatlog sandwich is a hot dog. Not trying to reopen the “is a hot dog a sandwich” debate, but there you go.

Every single time I write “vacuum,” I catch myself spelling it “vaccum” first. Someone please tell me it’s not just me.

Philadelphia Eagles or the band?
