This post nails a lot of people’s feelings about yesterday. I remember years ago reading about how Tiger, Jordan, Bird, they weren’t just great players but world-class trash talkers, using every trick in the book to psych out their opponents while somehow maintaining a public image that made them look like nice people…

Turns out it’s a typo. They do say it was 2009 later in the article.

The strangest part of the final round was Molinari, who had just one bogey in the first three rounds and ended up on Sunday bogeying 3 holes, 2 of them for double-bogeys. In a way, all Woods really did on Sunday was to not melt down like the rest of the (younger) field around him. Like a guy who’s won that tournament…

He also thought Lonzo Ball was going to be his ticket back to the glory days. 

The only way Magic doesn’t regret this decision is if he doesn’t regret this decision.

In Lubbock they directed their reactions to the loss in a different direction:

The Original Broadway Cast album of “Co-Op - The Musical” is so brilliant I would buy it as a record. Getting Renee Elise Goldsberry and Richard Kind for this is perfection. How often do we see parody that is actually good? Goldsberry singing her solo about a tennis instructor who is excited at the prospect of an…

Never forget this story. An NYPD cop was speeding on the wrong side of the road without any identifying lights or sirens, and he killed a student who was crossing the street, and the NYPD lied about it over and over and over until they finally agreed to pay the family $500,000 in taxpayer money, but refused to…

“Commiting” something is serious. Is crime not serious?

The accident report said the pilot instructed the passengers on how to use the strap cutters and where the caribiners were and how to unlock them (tho, those were behind them so it was academic at best). The chopper tipped over enough to start taking on water so fast that the pilot didn’t have time to undo the…

It’s not always intentional; sometimes it’s just bad design. Remember that helicopter crash in NYC last year where they assume a passenger’s harness strap somehow wrapped around an emergency fuel cut-off switch and the pilot couldn’t restart the engine in time? And while the pilot got out fine, none of the passengers…

I was just off two long flights last night, probably should’ve waited til morning to reply. Sorry. I still think you’re being disingenuous acting like you weren’t saying these players could not have been helped by a union (but couching it in a question as a way to avoid having to own it (“Hey, I was just asking IF the…

No you weren’t. You specifically said that a union would’ve been of no use to these players. That’s false. Don’t blame me for your own comment. 

Can’t wait to see Geno Auriemma’s take on this.

I don’t know how you really feel about unions, but you’re obviously a big fan of contorted logic and bad excuses. The owners didn’t do all this because they ran out of money. They did it because they were free to do it under the shit contract they made the players sign. In the very worst case the union could’ve used…

Bookmark this article for the next time any commenter on any GMG site says that unions are bad or an anachronism in 2019. 

Also, always read Marina Hyde’s columns in The Guardian. They are the best, hands-down.

Ya know, I don’t really enjoy being in a country where Alabama gets 2 Senators and 7 members of the House myself. But I’m not going to introduce a ballot initiative to secede from the US because of that. Maybe, instead of whining about the E.U. government, Little England should get better representatives and make more…

Isn’t there a bodega in Hudson Yards you could go to instead?
