Thanks Drew—this post contains the single best take on Starship Troopers I’ve ever read. God, I am so fucking tired of hipster cinephiles trying to paint that thing as some kind of subversive masterwork. It’s just Space War 90210 that climaxes with Doogie Howser in vaguely Nazi attire because that’s oh so trenchant.…

The ownership Olajuwon displayed over Shaq in that Rockets - Magic final is still impressive.

I wonder if Grayson Allen has a picture of Draymond in a secret Draymond-shrine somewhere in his residence.

Brings to mind a favorite exchange:

I would like to star you for both your comment and your screen name.

NC State is terrible and they have a lame duck coach, but I happen to think this says more about the individual spectator than the team and anything going on on the court.

I said the exact same thing to myself. It’s cold comfort that grows colder almost by the hour.

Let’s not forget the time Calipari almost began to consider thinking about taking the NC State job...

NC State is in a unique situation. It shares an airport with 2 programs that, by at least some objective measurement, are among the 5 greatest of all time. No other program I can think of exists in such a challenging competitive landscape.

Yes, we can. And we will.

WAR IS PEACE

Every time I think about how Barack Obama would’ve been worked over for handling a North Korean ballistic missile launch at a country club (before schmoozing at a wedding reception), I get a little depressed.

Every bit of this is true. Nice work. A+.

Conventional wisdom says the Pats.

Seriously, who the fuck DOES care if retiring superstar X gets a gift from a home team?!? All of that shit is like the cutesy jerseys given to the President, it goes into some big bin in a forgotten room and is never looked at or thought of again. I’d being willing to bet that Ortiz neither remembers nor cares that…

“Few, I believe, join the U.S. military for the purpose of perpetuating injustice at home and abroad. Few join hoping to kill or be killed in a war that never really needed to happen. Few join with the hopes of sacrificing their own bodies and souls for the sake of a few very rich men with very bad ideas.”

I feel like there is a considerable body of evidence that, regardless of his football acumen, Tom Brady is actually rather stupid.

Spander = Belichick sleeper agent

Kellyanne Conway is good looking?

“...which is to say the Wolfpack spend three-fourths of the season looking like garbage until they notch their annual Big Upset and give their fans false hope.”
