I know what you’re saying, but you can also look at it from the other side and say AEW has deliberately based their entire model off of things Meltzer has been saying for years about what works and what doesn’t in the wrestling business. They’re using his opinions as a blueprint for differentiating themselves from WWE—…

All this stuff about sports presentation and analytics is just them trying to make the point that the details will matter in AEW to a degree they haven’t mattered in WWE for a long time.

He wasn’t the best talker, but “Who are you to doubt El Dandy?” still might be my favorite promo of all time.

I can’t get over the fact that fucking Mike Mayock is the GM of an NFL team. I'm furious right now. Fuck the NFL and fuck America.

Wilbon is an asshole, but let’s not pretend for a second that meteorologists aren’t also self-indulgent assholes who will interrupt programming at the drop of a hat to ramble on about things way less important than a tornado warning.

When it comes to music, people find certain artists too “challenging,” but should it be a prerequisite for those artists to offer a couple of songs on each album that sound like Train? Isn’t that why we hate record labels? Shouldn’t it be left up to the artist?

Thanks for sharing this, Mike. Not many out there who have survived something like that to begin with, much less with the ability to write as well as you.

I felt the same way during the first episode, but all of these things are addressed throughout the season. Overall, I think the characters in the show are very consistent with the film. The overall tone is a bit different, but it works.

DmC was the only one I bothered finishing other than the original. It’s probably my favorite. Really loved the combat and the Fox News level.

Being worth several billion dollars and still giving in to an impulse to drive down to a Florida strip mall massage parlor for an illegal HJ is about as human as it gets.

America can’t get rid of capitalism, but we sure as fuck can take measures against bad/oppressive capitalism. The seeds are already being sown. Unfortunately, we need more than just a president who hasn’t been bought—we also need to get back the Senate, which is going to be difficult.

When Bowser joins your party in Super Mario RPG. I was 10 at the time and I completely lost my shit. 

This thread can and should go on forever.

It’s Maryland WASP. Yes, Pelosi is Catholic, but she’s obviously spent enough time with the lizard-people there to pick up some of their dialect.

Kara-age Kun is DOPE.

Is everyone really in agreement that the first one was that good? People shit all over the last Star Wars, I guess I thought they were both about the same—unoffensive, but ultimately pretty mediocre.

I’m sure Gregg “KILL THE FUCKING HEAD” Williams said absolutely nothing last week to coax this kind of shit out of his players.

Why would older investors worry about a fund being too conservative? Was that a typo? Maybe I missed something...

I saw this on Red Zone and even Scott Hansen was piling on them for missing it.

Important question: Let’s say for whatever reason someone decides to vacate the PSN ID “lizarddick69”--does that mean it’s up for grabs?
