Trying to will Paul Goldshmidt into remembering how to hit using nothing but the power of positive thinking, I assume.

Think of how much better off Lauri Loughlin would be right now if she had just accepted this simple truth and moved on with it.

The Polish thought he practiced witchcraft because he was able to screw in a light bulb without assistance.

I guess, but even then I don’t buy it for New York. It’s talked about a whole lot, but the only superstar I can think of openly agitating for a move to the Knicks is Melo. Maybe Kyrie and KD going to the Nets changes things?

“the dominance of New York and L.A. over the Midwest has existed at least since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar forced his way out of Milwaukee”

Prove that he isn’t, dingus.

Kinda seems like Miami could use him? That roster kinda sucks beyond Jimmy Butler, and I think the culture Reilly built down there (assuming that’s a real thing) might mitigate some of his more boneheaded tendencies.

He’s a born Knick if I’ve ever seen one.

Too many good ones to pick just one, but I have to think the proprietor of the sex farm for sex hookers is up there.

That was before the big BlueChew sponsorship!

I’ve done the Graceland tour twice. It has all the cool, tacky Elvis stuff, but the house itself is kind of unimpressive. It’s basically a slightly bigger than average suburban house on a big lot (with a racquetball gym in the backyard).

An entire movie starring Kelsey Grammer’s Beast from X Men 3. Maybe he has a younger brother who’s also a mutant and a cranky mutant dad.

He’s not Nixon. He’s like the worst of Reagan and Gerald Ford mashed into one pear shaped body.

They had a nice run a decade or so ago (Christ, I’m getting old) but it’s been rough since.

I have a small amount of respect in their ability to write reviews about how capital-I-Important some unlistenable Soundcloud rapper is and then slap a 7.4 on it.

The Greta Van Fleet review kind of had some of the old Pitchfork nastiness of a bygone era, but that was a very easy target.

I’m bracing for a half ironic/half sincere nu metal nostalgia boom a la the hair metal one from ten years ago. I have horrible visions of Korn tribute bands playing in suburban bars.

It is, but I don’t even hear those 90s 311 songs that were alternative rock mainstays back in the day. Maybe it’s because 311 is still active? 

It’s interesting that Sublime has had much more mainstream staying power than their cornier white guy reggae brothers in arms, 311. I still hear Sublime songs on the radio frequently, but I rarely, if ever hear 311 songs anymore.
