I think you’re overestimating how self-aware I thought he could be

So, an assassination attempt. That is awful

Obviously, but he’s a self-aware dumbass

I think he just threw away the foreskins

Hot Take: Bumgarner’s quote shows a level of self-awareness that I did not think possible for the giant red ass Giant

I once dated someone with the same name as me simply so I could do this without others thinking it was weird

He and Camilla really bookend this photo nicely

Winter* is definitely coming now

Hmm now I really wonder how much Liga MX is getting paid for this

On one hand, this is clearly unintentional base on the speed, choice of pitch, the body language of the pitcher (dejected, staring at hand), the reaction of the catcher, the score and situation, etc. Ridiculous he was tossed out for throwing at someone.

I’m sure they are getting their cut of the revenue. Also maybe they are hoping to increase their league exposure in America to try and get/improve a tv contract to broadcast in USA?

Maybe the money will go into developing Youth Soccer in the innercity, especially in cities with large Hispanic immigrant populations. That way the Mexico vs MLS in large Hispanic population cities makes sense, both as a money grab and for increased exposure in those areas for US Soccer. Obviously this will not be the…

Also, if anyone heard their songs then or now and felt like it was glorifying some despicable behavior, then that is a failure of the band for not making it clear it was satire and actually denouncing such behavior. Intentions don’t matter, (as much as) perception does.

They were cringe worthy then. I assume that was the point. I don’t know enough about the band to know their intent, but I always took it as satire and showing the horribleness they saw around them and tried to be a mirror. How successful they were depends on how you feel about the band, probably.

I always assumed (maybe hoped?) the song was sung in the first person for dramatic effect but was actually calling out how big of pieces of shit men were that would prey on a child prostitute. Just the audience was too douche bro and took it literally. Like “Fight for your Right” by Beastie Boys. Basically, an attempt…

I hated every single new fact I was presented in this story. A++ storytelling, painted beautiful picture of someone I hope to never meet

I assumed it was Sheryl Swoopes, but that would mean by “rookie season” the OC meant the inaugural WNBA season. Also, the Air Swoopes came out in 1995 and the WNBA started in 1997. I don’t know what happened behind the scenes, but the end product was one of celebrating Swoopes as a mother and athlete:

You paint such a classic picture of a TBI patient, but from a perspective that only someone that has been through a serious TBI and came out the other end can do .. provided they were a talented writer before hand and had a good recovery to let them write well afterwards still. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope…

Good. She had wanted to retire to a quiet life raising her kids over a decade ago. Hopefully her mental health can recover in private and she can live a happy life on her own terms at some point.

Tom “Flash” Gordon. As a young Royals fan, I hoarded his rookie cards because I knew he was going to be an all-time great.
