I’m sitting in a cubicle at sea level, and that made my nuts hide inside me for a minute. Hellllllllll no.

Nealon was an underrated SNL cast member and WU anchor, by the way. He wasn’t as good as Dennis Miller (remember when he was funny?), or as snarky as Norm MacDonald, but he played a good straight man to the good Sandler and Farley characters, and could deadpan his way through almost anything. He was rarely the best…

He was an entertaining writer who got too big in his own head.

Speaking of which, there’s a movie this fall about the Battle of the Sexes. Steve Carell as Bobby Riggs, and Emma Stone as Billie Jean King.

Eh, she’s used to getting burned suddenly.

I’ve spent my first month in LA for work, and the traffic is already awful (and I’ve spent significant time in Chicago and Boston). The Olympics would completely fuck things up halfway to San Bernardino.

That’s rush hour in Honolulu, actually.

the best restaurants (not the fanciest or most expensive, but the actual best) make great sides, too. I went to a fantastic steakhouse in my Midwestern city, and while the steak was delicious, the Brussels sprouts were fucking off the hook, so much so that I ordered a second helping to take home. I ate them in the…

that’s how hockey has survived in Florida for so long. Whether or not the Lightning or Panthers are any good, there will always be Canadians and east coasters who will make a weekend or a week out of a trip to Tampa or Miami to see their Flyers/Habs/Rangers play down south.

Golic is fine. He plays the role of the “dumb jock” but is actually somewhat intelligent and has the occasional nuanced opinion.

In 2004, Kent Mercker called Stone from the Cubs clubhouse and chewed him out for being too negative, and he and Moises “I Piss on my Hands” Alou tried to have Stone banned from team flights.

A Brewers-Cubs beef is the best beef, since both teams are actually relevant in the same season for the first time since...2008?

the only black male police these days seem to be MAGA mascots like Sheriff Clarke

easy. they’re completely safe, bland listening for 50-something white men, who have been brand-loyal to ESPN since the 80's.

so the BEST case scenario here is the following:

nah, at least in the 6 there’s Drake and Biebs and such to pimp his $500 shoes. Hell for him would be Milwaukee or Indiana, someplace in the Midwest that doesn’t put up with Lavar’s shit.

The hero they deserve.

I’m kind of ambivalent on the Spurs players (they’re fine, just don’t have a favorite), but the NBA is the only sport where I root for a coach, and Pop is my guy.
