First they came for Ivanka, and I said nothing, because she seemed like she was still doing OK.

It’s part and parcel of Trump’s standard strategy.

Okay, Tomsula/Pants 2020

I love that a guy who screams “fake news!” at the drop of a hat is going to be undone by literally believing “fake news.”

Great ready for the “What law did he break?!!1?” cries.

He thinks he’s innocent because in his mind, he never said “investigate Biden’s son or you’re not getting aid.” This is pretty on brand with Trump; he’s never explicit in what he says, but the people around him know exactly what he means. Then they get to go and do the dirty work for him. So if Guiliani or Barr end up…

Steve Spurrier raises his hand.

They give out a free cuppa whip cream. They call it a “pupachino” but you don’t even hafta have a dog with you. Just tell ‘em it’s outside, bam, free whip cream.

Sometimes I wonder if the good folks at Deadspin are going to far in making fun of Tomsula. I mean, all the guy wants to do is make sure the other hobos know which restaurants have the best trash cans to scavenge through. Is that so bad?

The actual Tomsula Index is a list of businesses that will let you use their bathroom without having to buy anything. 

going two different directions on a joke based on a minor typo in the blog:

Cheap champagne burns when it gets in your eyes.

If I may. She clearly is strong. Upper body and lower.

I’m not convinced of Ziegler’s ultimate conclusion—that Sandusky is innocent. But I do agree with him that the case is much more ambiguous and unusual than the conventional press accounts suggest.

I grew up in State College, I went to school with Sandusky’s kid, the one in prison for soliciting minors. I’ve been in Sandusky’s basement. I play tackle football in Sunset Park near Joepa’s place, pretending to be Shane Conlan or DJ Dozier. I know what that town is like, and how it venerated the football program.

Just for fun, someone should tell these 40 something coaches who act like they grew up in the 1950's that being a team player is just a harbinger of becoming a full fledged socialist. It would confuse the shit out of them for a few minutes

“so, my email address is hashtag I don’t care, okay.

The really sad thing is he had that “my email address is hashtag I don’t care” so locked and loaded and ready to that it is clear it was a line he thought about and prepared and was waiting to throw out there, and it is just so so terrible. 

This is great and these people deserve the spotlight, but I wish more were done to celebrate black people excelling in fields where we’re traditionally scarce.
