The league office instructed the Steelers to deduct the money from Watt’s paycheck if he does not appeal.

“We’re going to change juuuuust enough to piss people off, but not enough to justify this existing in the first place.”

Faithful adaptations are great, but they need reasons to exist.

I love the NBA. It’s my favorite sport. But it is unforgivable that we’ve let NBA Nerds get away with treating the pre-season like it’s something that’s even remotely interesting. I saw so many “OMG, LeBron vs. Durant tonight!!!!” takes yesterday. Just because 7,500 weirdos with avatars of a goat head photoshopped…

It’s weird that I tend to agree with like 85% of the AVClub’s editorializing but still find it really grating and awful because it’s always so desperately ham-fisted into every article.

Even apart from that, the early pioneers from the beginning knew it was dangerous and we did many people in the history of the various national programs. So, it comes up because it was quite a…

This is the kinja callback I needed in my life for today.

When he was coaching the Raiders my big complaint was that he took too many chances (there’s a loss to the Lions that illustrates that perfectly). But I realize there’s more to it than just that. He's just objectively terrible at assessing risk.

Duh, because the AL won the All-Star game #thisyearitcounts

And I hope those people who liked The Last Jedi don’t write-off its critics as ‘whiny manbabies’...oh dear, too late.

For Chevy it was Tuesday... Taco Tuesday.

Yeah, I’ve jerked off to your present girlfriend dozens of times.

This game was such a classic trap game it should be called “The Bailey Jay Game”.
