and tone deaf. I hope the fool who decided to put the dedication to Stan Lee (who didn’t create any character in the Punisher show (although it seems he was the one who suggested his name)) right after the shot of Castle murdering the gang members never works on these shows ever again.

Whatever you think of his take, you have to acknowledge that Bill Simmons’s history definitely gives him a position to criticize a person for trying to lure talent away from another organization to join his own.

Here’s my last hot take on the Netflix Marvel Universe: Iron Fist s2 is far better than Jessica Jones s2. 

They will get 0% of the zero top flight free agents they already weren’t getting. How will they recover?

Vol. 3 went triple platinum in 99. Hov’s career needed revitalizing 2 years later?

LOL -- How does a quarterback take a play off?

Shut the fuck up.

Really good college sports fans can be a fucking delight—you have to be some combination of funny, smart or original.  She’s just a nuisance that’s none of those things.

I feel some sympathy, mostly because he was DC on the greatest defense in league history and a big part of the Ravens first Super Bowl victory.  But I think he gets unfairly shit on by a lot of people because he was around long enough for a whole generation to forget the Bungles label and how absurdly bad the team was…

the idea of Star Wars’ Poe Dameron and Finn being in love is something that never really would have caught on were it not for the way that Tumblr artists, writers, and fans rallied around the ship

It says something when famously rookie-averse Rick Carlisle is basically giving the keys to the rookie on his team.

someone should tell Riordan that the books aren’t good either

I still can’t believe this asshole has an incredibly lucrative career because turned the phrase “practice makes perfect” into a 10,000-word book.

Hard to believe he emotionally and physically abused his wife.
