It’s possible to know that certain things should not happen and be glad that they did not happen, while simultaneously wishing that they could and would happen.

I’m praying hourly that the Seahawks take him away from us.

I have born witness to both of my favorite team’s Super Bowl losses (Falcons). Let me say that there are definitely ways to lose a Super Bowl that make you wish you’d never made it in the first place.

I don’t think the Ringer is, and I do think he’s moving backwards, but I can’t think of another sportswriter who is more universally recognized and whose influence, personally, can be felt quite so strongly.

Golf Story was one of my surprise shouts for Game of the Year. I absolutely adored it, and for a long time it was my most-played Switch title after BotW (I sank about 20-25 hours into it, which was more than the <20 I put in Splatoon 2, 3+ I had into Mario + Rabbids, and ~5 I had in Odyssey.

Can’t blame the D for that. They were on the field for so much of the game, especially in the second half. Kyle Shanahan and, indirectly, Dan Quinn lost them that game. Run the damn ball.

How unfair is it to get that 4-year gig that comes with a guaranteed lifetime 6-figure pension? You sell off your investments. There are certain investments and portfolios that can be placed in a blind trust, which other presidents have done, but you do not leave open the avenue for personal enrichment while in…

As much as I absolutely loved him, I think those inconsistencies were the hallmark of a team with Isaiah Thomas as a centerpiece. With Kyrie now, Jalen and Jayson coming along faster than we could have imagined, I don’t think you see that much anymore.

I’m a Revs fan, and I hate you. But I still had to star this comment.

The difference is that Deadspin also talks about the deeply problematic aspects of football - especially NFL football - itself as a reason not to watch it, whereas this columnist is basically saying “how can you care about football because nukes?”

In this case, the hyphen in “one-week” is incorrect. I have no idea why that bothers me so much, but I am compelled to point it out, and I apologize.

16-team playoff. 10 conference winners, 6 at-large bids. Maybe shorten the regular season a little, but it’s the best way to do it.

I need to get into Doki Doki. I downloaded it for the buzz, too, and it’s just sitting there on my laptop display, mocking me.

I’ll be without my PS4 for the weekend (home visiting family), so it will be a bevy of PC, Switch, Vita, and 3DS titles. Thinking Odyssey, BotW, UC: Golden Abyss, and Pokemon UltraSun, plus whatever I decide to pick at on the laptop.

That was a close call, Alabama. You idiots almost elected a man who rode a horse to the polls. In 2017! I know you guys have shitty taste because I’ve listened to Blake Shelton albums and scrolled through Pinterest at least once a week just to see what’s going on in Wypipostan, but you guys almost saddled the entire…

Not enough people are actually going to get this reference. Take all of my stars.

“we shouldn’t allow Star Wars to encourage our kids to gamble.”

I think Kroenke runs away with it, but I will never not vote for Bob Kraft as the worst owner in sports.

It might be casually racist, but I would also point to the fact that it was written in 1995.

It’s tough to hold to that when MLS participates in programs like “Kick It Out” which are overtly anti-racist initiatives and uses prominent signage to promote them.
