“Sometimes, obviously, your moral compass can trump business interests. And it can cost you your job. Look at the Colin Kaepernick.”

Well, sure. There was the money but also its sources. I would guess trump came in with some seriously doctored books that even then only showed relatively modest money and any guarantees or other financial backing were from some sketchy foreign organizations.

Chapo Trap House’s episode The Righteous Falwells was an all-time great.

It was a group that Trump was too scummy for, but Jimmy Haslam wasn’t too scummy for. Really says a lot about the entire sordid enterprise.

You’re really hearing it more and more.

Also unclear if he knows what a canvas is...so yeah, this checks out.

If you can’t trust Chicago-area cops, then who can you trust?

I love that photo. Charlie was fucking incredible (also won Game 7 of ALCS). I’m happy that he’s getting paid and doing so for a good team. I just hope we can whistle past that particular graveyard (and avoid Keuchel in the W.S.). FWIW, Charlie also seems like a decent human. He has terrific music taste.

I agree, but just having gotten past their stiffest competition, the AL champ could still easily lose in the WS (especially if it’s the Dodgers). In addition to the inherent flukiness, there’s the question of how well teams are playing right now (which, to be fair, applies in all playoffs). But, there are six teams…

So could the Rays.

As an Astros fan, I hope Ray is right. But I feel like the baseball playoffs are a different animal. The sample size is large enough that a significantly better team should win, but short enough for funky things to happen. And I guess I just don’t think any team is significantly better than any other. (Most of the…

If Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State have taught us anything, it’s that nothing is too low for the Big-10, especially relative to the fine upstanding institutions of higher learning in the far superior academic conference that is the Southeastern Conference. 

If close proximity to New York and Philadelphia is the same thing as being a good football team then yes, being a good football team is exactly why Rutgers is in the B1G.

So are the Astros “the heat death of the planet” or “the big crunch”?

This feels like a situation where American voters decided that because the airplane is flying so well right now, we should put this spoiled asshole 7 year-old who hasn’t taken his ADD meds in the pilot’s seat so he can land the plane because he keeps insisting he’s an awesome fucking pilot. Now we can only hope…

I don’t like the Spurs but beyond their long-sustained successes, you cannot compare Popovich to Belichick. It’s completely unfair to Popovich.

Nah...they’ll just disclaim it after the fact. I mean, most of those republican staffers are veterans of the Bush administration, no? There’s no such thing as working yourself into unemployability in D.C. because of your boss. C’mon. If anything, they can spin it to show how loyal they are. “I stayed on the ship the…

Tori Symonds should probably go ahead and e-mail a copy of her resume to The Gap or some shit.

Use of the word though there is a real motherfucker. Really blows up any claim that he’s just an old dipshit speaking in non sequiturs.

Someone else made the point earlier, but if you come for moderate democrats’ FailChildren, you best not miss.
