As I mentioned, kids get a pass. You followed the path I would expect: you rooted for your parents school when you were a kid, went to college and now root for that team. The fact that its all the same school is irrelevant.

You misunderstand. The basic assumption is that if you attended a college, you will be a fan of your alma mater. If you didn’t attend college, why would you be a diehard fan of a college? So, I give the HS exception to people who didn’t attend college, but I also recognize that people from Texas value HS football out…

I have very strict rules about fandomness, by which I mean “I live and die for . . .” or “I bleed [team color]” fandom. You can root for either your HS or college alma mater, but not both (this is a sop to those who either (1) didn’t go to college or (2) grew up in Texas). If you are choosing to root for your college,…

We got one of those giant buckets of cheese popcorn one Christmas and my little brother came home late one night and ate the entire thing while watching a movie. About 4 am, he began barfing up cheese popcorn. 25 years later, my sister can still get him to throw up in his own mouth by just saying “cheese popcorn”. He…

My wife, who is generally an open-minded and tolerant person, watched this with me and said, “How Polish.”

If Lebron James dunked a human head instead of a basketball, he would be questioned by police.

Ladies, ladies. Where are the cheesecake shots of you two in swimsuits, cardigans, and socks?

This lawsuit will not meet the legal requirements for standing. He doesn’t have a large enough group of people who have suffered actual, cognizable harm to form a class, so he can’t file a class-action. His intention to file it on behalf of all white Americans (or worse, all Americans) renders it invalid because there…

I’m not a hockey fan (grew up in Northern California, time already filled with baseball, basketball, football, and soccer by the time the Sharks came around), but I think the Stanley Cup’s annual summer adventures is one of the coolest things in sport.

My high school team was very good; the best that could be said about me was that I was good enough to be on the team. I was probably the only guy in the entire section that couldn’t beat his dad in 1-on-1 (in my defense, my dad started for a D1 college basketball team - played against Bill Russell - and at the highest…

Greatest and most underappreciated American band ever. Thank you, Diana, for this.

Cops seem to be awfully sensitive to criticism for a group that wants everyone to believe they willingly and heroically risk their lives every day they lace up their boots and go to work. Are you nancy-boys or He-men? Make up your damn minds.

I think you are jumping to conclusions. Its far more likely that Sandusky was protected because he was widely perceived as Paterno’s “guy” and Paterno was like the Pope on the Penn State campus.

Watching a MLB Game of the Week on NBC with my dad in the summer of 1967. I’m pretty sure it was the Cubs and may have been the Cardinals. My mom was out, so my dad let me drink orange soda out of the can. I was almost 5.

“Man, I really shouldn’t get into that garbage; that’d be a dick thing to do. I’m just going to go home . . . aaaaah, fuck . . . I’m going to at least take the lid with me; the other bears will say ‘Pete’s a pussy; he didn’t want to make a mess! Wah, wah, wah, Pete!’ Well fuck them, I’ve got a fucking lid. I’m just…

Many of these nominees are deserving, but if you have an ounce of humanity left in your dead soul, you have to vote for Tomsula. C’mon, the man needs a win!

I’m with you; did the receiver kick it up to himself? Because that would be cool.

As a Warriors fan, we endured about 3 decades of disdain from free-agents; the best thing Oakland offered was easy access to coke.

With all due respect to Joey Chestnut and his “accomplishments”, here is the list of things I hope my children never become:

Here’s the GOAT rankings: (1) MJ, (2) Russell, and (3) Lebron. No one else is on the list. MJ and Russell top the list because they made their teammates better than they actually were, which led to 6 and 11 championships, respectively (Russell’s total gets discounted because there was only 8-10 teams during his…
