The actual team office/retail building and park are a nice touch, but the hotel across the street sucks. And you’re right, this was all basically public knowledge. The Cubs were kinda sorta flirting with Rosemont, but I don’t think anyone seriously thought it would happen.

The Sciences was my favorite album of the year and it got totally snubbed.

I love Beach House, but it’s at best the fourth best album of the year for me behind Mitski, Pusha T, and Sleep. Also, AV Club totally snubbing Sleep is very disappointing.

I would like to give a serious take on David’s bit about John Paxson’s buttheaded drive to hire variations of the same meatball coach over and over again. The one exception to this otherwise true point was Fred Hoiberg. Pax and Gar Forman 100% in their heart of stupid hearts believed that Fred Hoiberg was going to be…

And Judas Priest. 

The Critic was funny, but he hasn’t really done a lot since.

Look, I don’t care how rich you are, you shouldn’t be allowed to tell a plastic surgeon to “make me look like the Black Hole Sun video.”

Come on now, I didn’t randomly capitalize any letters in the middle of the sentence.

The worst is when Chewy wakes Han up at like 6 AM, even on the weekends, in order to go out for his space walks. Come on, let the man sleep in a little!

I suppose when clandestine meetings in dark parking garages come into the picture.

Snitching in all forms is supremely lame and should be called out.

Furthermore, does Chewbacca crap in a toilet, or do his human friends have to keep a bunch of plastic grocery bags under the Millennium Falcon’s kitchen sink and pick up after him?

I was very lukewarm on TLJ and it had nothing to do with Laura Dern bossing around Oscar Isaac or whatever these dweebs are mad about.

Exactly. If you dropped prime MJ into today’s game with all the advancements in training and preparation that came with it, he’d still be a star. 

It felt like almost a soft re-boot after III. Ghost Protocol onward feel like a totally different series. Sort of like comparing the first few Fast and the Furious to the later ones with Rock “The Rock” Johnson.

Greggheads around the world agree.

Ed Droste and Panda Bear are among the very few male contemporary rock/indie singers who can really, actually sing. 

All I’m saying is, if Thibs gets the blame for Wiggins stagnating, he should get the praise for the Bulls guys developing. Rose was in his third year when Thibs came along, same as Wiggins. Both were rookies of the year, both were mega-talented. I’m inclined to believe that Wiggins would be butt with or without Thibs.

For sure the latter. 

Thibs brought along Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson, helped get Luol Deng’s career out of neutral, helped Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah get to the next level, got Omer Asik paid, and coaxed steady performances out of a series of undersized point guards. The only first round picks who Thibs “failed” were Marquis Teague (who…
