A Philadelphia sports fan is a racist?! I am shocked.

Lack of a tie? Holy shit. As a long time Raiders fan, I can tell you first hand that getting all wrapped up in the “Ties? We don’t need no stinking ties!” attitude can be taken too far and become counter-productive, but c’mon! Derek Anderson? Ron Rivera, you blocked my shot in the IFC basketball championship in…

You’ve hit the nail on the head: a four game playoff is dumb. The only way it would be contention-free is where the final four teams are the undisputed champions of the four undisputed strongest conferences. Given that we haven’t had 4 strong conferences recently (ever?), this will never happen and you will always…

It’s 2nd down and short, so you decide to have your offense run a sweep to the right. Unfortunately, the defense anticipates this, so your star running back runs right into a wall of defenders. Rather than accept the loss of a couple of yards and trying again on 3rd down, your talented but not so bright back decides…

That’s kind of a bs distinction. A Cuban Hitler would have invaded other sovereign nations in the Caribbean and incarcerated thousands of people based on religion and ethnicity. Castro was an autocrat, but he didn’t come close to doing that. If expatriate Cubans truly believe that Castro is their Hitler, they are…

The biggest counterargument to liberals’ “Trump was elected by racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobes” explanation of the outcome is the fact that so many Obama voters voted for Trump. They voted twice for hope and got nothing out of it. So fuck it, let’s try nihilism.

Golly, I’m shocked!

Even for a show about barely surviving in the zombie apocalypse, this season has been a chore to watch. Negan is too much: he is a practically omnipotent in his control over his people and the surrounding communities, and that’s just depressing as fuck. This show works when its about overcoming: if there isn’t hope…

Better idea: force the NBA and NFL to create their own minor league systems in which to funnel talented 18 year olds who have no desire or ability to study at the college level. It won’t end cheating (there will still be instances of women’s volleyball coaches or men’s tennis coaches that are desperate to hold on to…

“I am shocked!” - no one.

The joke would have been more accurate had Jost said “One of the many reasons why . . .” instead of just “Why . . .”

I don’t care if scientists created a Frankenstein’s monster of the greatest soccer minds in history, that SuperCoach still wouldn’t be able to get the USNMT past the WC quarters (at best) for the simple reason that our players suck relative to the rest of the top tier of rest of world football. Until the U.S.…

It seems like Weisman is committing the mistake of the easy explanation: Trump won solely because 60 million Americans are some combination of misogynist, racist, and anti-Semitic. Thankfully, Weisman is not directly involved in setting the agenda for the Democratic Party.

Summary: Anti-Trump protester had a sign and when he attempted to exercise his 1st Amendment right, he was physically assaulted by Trump supporters, one of whom yelled “gun!”

Please add “Charles Sherwood” for me. He was the president of the Janesville (WI) Cubs Fan Club for many years, born 2 years after their last championship and died in 1972. He was my grandfather.

No, you are wrong: this is news. It was previously alleged that he had taken advantage of the tax code to legally avoid paying any taxes for 18 years. Now it is being alleged that he illegally evaded taxes by not declaring forgiven debt. That is a crime.

In an attempt to find the sliver lining here, I applaud the students for knowing enough U.S. history to make this inappropriate banner.

Their attorney was Marcus Mumford?

IRL: Mark Kirk is an atypical, monumentally, stupid fuckwad and asshole.

Man, if there was one franchise I would pick to get screwed by a city it would be the Raiders. If there was one city I could pick to get screwed by a franchise, it would be Vegas (particularly as it is represented by Adelson). So, the only way this could turn out better is if the Raiders end up being forced to fold…
