McKenna: JFK assassination

Did I hit a nerve? :)

I used to work at a newspaper and worked the later shift. They’d shuttle all the BS calls to me and I had to answer them because, who knows, a story. But mostly it would be an old person who pretended to have a story about poor garbage collection or something and then it would morph into the story of their lives... I…

I used to be bad at small talk. But then I realized if you play it right, it’s usually a lot of “Um-hmm,” or “Yup!” or “Yeah, but whaddya gonna do?” shit and that’s it. The thing is, the stranger who initiates the small talk is generally the one who wants to do the most talking anyway. So I ask a question that gets…

That looks nothing like a Richard Sherman jersey...

“Wait..too short just to be a quarterback, right?”

“Is ok, man. Go for it.”

It’s not even a “real” museum, from what I can see online. It’s just a big fancy house. With beds!!!

Too soon. Not really, but... fuck it, here’s your star.

Oh. You mean one of these, right?

He basically got the same welcoming reception a guy who took time off to, say, care for his ailing child would. It’s at least a little bit weird.

Shit, not for at least one game? I mean this doesn’t seem to be a routine cheer, but a “special” one welcoming him back... from being suspended for beating the shit out of his wife. I get your confusion and why some might want to keep it separated, but there needs to be some acknowledgment that you’re not happy…

The pitcher feels like dung.

Man, I hate when the battery runs down on the recorder...

If they get their way, takeout orders will be $20 for the food and $1,250.00 in delivery charges.

I’m going to guess that prior to Deadspin’s articles he’s never once written several lengthy emails/posts in an attempt to explain/justify his behavior. He’s feeling some heat, obviously, which is good. Hopefully, it will, at the every least, draw back a bit. And don’t be surprise if MLB or a few teams step in to try…

Contrary to the popular staying, there IS such a thing as bad publicity. What benefit is this guy gonna derive from this article? Are teams gonna invite him to their ballpark to rip baseballs from kids and old guys? Are people going to give him the superstar treatment when they see him in the park? I think the…

Now if I could only get my legs to work as well the rest of the race... :)

Great column. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to handle hills without much trouble. And I’ve done a lot of the things you mention even prior to reading this. I see them as my “secret weapon.” I anticipate most other runners will stop and walk and most do ... but they end up catching up with me later so... oh, well.…
