Wait, you’re telling me that Julian Fernando Casablancas, the rich boy singer from New York City who managed to put out one of the most influential albums of the early-’00s, is maybe kinda pretentious?

He’s actually from the Santa Cruz area, but went to Fresno State. Nobody in SCZ would want a damn thing to do with him, though.

Schilling is one of the best pitchers of the last 30 years, as much of an asshole as he is (and a moron when he’s not on the mound). Dilfer, by contrast, almost certainly is the worst quarterback ever to start for a Super Bowl winner.

Curt Schilling- Dilfer is who Trumpkins aspire to be Schilling is who they really are

“Populist movements generally have a problem with higher education and the education system.” That depends on who is using the populist sentiment. Bernie Sanders ran a populist campaign that stressed the importance of higher education so much that he proposed making state and community colleges tuition free. There…

I think going on rails seems to be his bigger problem.

One of the many problems of being short: Always in the front row.

M-V-P! M-V-P! M-V-P!

No. You’re using the word populism wrong. The right wing media does a good job of inciting anti-education sentiments. But ‘populism’ itself is not ‘rooted’ in anything. It literally just means this.

In fairness, almost anyone would be a better Secretary of Education than Devos. I could throw a dart in a crowd, and after the tetanus shot that person would make a better Secretary of Education. Hell, I’m currently more qualified than her, because I have a Master’s Degree in Education, and my first act as Secretary…

When she and Dwyane Wade both visited the Florida school where the recent mass shooting happened, Wade, unlike her, actually spent the day there and talked to a bunch of kids and related to them, and wasn’t just there for an ill-conceived photo op, and didn’t call a press conference and walk out of it because they…

I also remember the Cavs having a point guard better than George Hill back then.

Their second best player (and only other all-star) is out. It’s fun to watch them flail for all the attention they get, but when healthy, LeBron took GSW to 6 on a team with less talent three years ago when it was time to turn it on.

If their not on social media how would you know what they are bragging about?

I feel so close to him right now.

People who brag about how they’re not on social media are insufferable.

But enough about Arcade Fire.

Remember when Larry Nance and Rodney Hood fixed the Cavs? That was a fun half-week.

Tom, in this day and age, it’s really disappointing to see a respected publication like Deadspin come out in support of bullying. It would be nice to see someone promoting the kinder, gentler long pull-up 2 for once.

Being dead doesn’t earn Russert respect he didn’t deserve while alive. Russert was the one who shifted Meet the Press into Meet the Republicans (with a widely disproportionate representation of GOP guests every week - clocked at an average of 60-40% R-D). Unfortunately, Todd has kept that going. Just yesterday he had…
