Shut it down because this comment will never be topped. Joe D’s 56-game hitting streak? Wilt Chamberlin’s 100-point game? No, this is Hoss Radbourn’s 60-win season of Kinja comments.

We remember Fredo most because John Cazale was the greatest actor in Hollywood history (fight me) giving his greatest performance. But all the Corelone kids were losers. That was the primary theme of The Godfather.
Half-Sicilian and half-some mixture of other whiteness, not only is Fredo literally not an ethnic slur but there is no ethnic slur against Italian-Americans that could be even 1% of the awfulness of the n-word. When was the last time we’ve faced anything resembling systemic discrimination as Italian-Americans? The…
So I have a side business in which I am my only employee and I don’t imagine ever expanding it beyond that. However, if I did attempt to grow it into a full-time operation with a staff of 10 or more (or whatever the union-eligible threshold is) I kind of think I’d want my employees to form a union. Not for any…
Andy Messersmith knew how to union the right way.
I’m surprised Babe Ruth isn’t in this conversation. He’s basically the personification of baseball and sports celebrity in North America and his barnstorming tours in Asia made him a big deal internationally before global celebrity was actually a thing. There’s even a candy bar still that’s kind of named after him. Go…
As a mediocre golfer who also gets way too upset when I hit a bad shot—usually because I top it like the worthless sack of shit I am—I can honestly say that golfing with a jam band soundtrack sounds awful.
I feel like it would be more newsworthy to report on any opera stars who weren’t lecherous pervs.
If I’m reading the timeline correctly, this incident is alleged to have happened months or years after they worked together. Unclutch the pearls and apply a reasonable person standard, this isn’t Harvey Weinstein’s casting couch.
Man here. Straight white one at that.
Sonny was a hot head who walked right into an obvious trap. So, basically Chris totally pulled a Sonny here.
As the great-grandson of Sicilian immigrants, I would ask you not to apologize for stating there is no equivalency between the N-word and “Fredo.” It is an objectively bullshit claim. There is zero historical weight or connotation to calling a lesser brother/son Fredo. The Godfather is so ingrained in American…
So, for those keeping score at home, if you’re parents are shitty (first comment) or if you benefit financially from your abuser (second comment), the abuse is totally cool in Stephon’s eyes?
So if other people were shitty to victims, it’s totally cool to excuse abusers.
Visualize angels pouring healing waters over municipal budgets decimated by stadium subsidies.
It seems odd that the award is still named for Michael Jackson but I guess we are still not yet at a point where we always #BelieveTheVictims.
Even dumber is that 20 years ago, the Arab and Muslim communities were (at least in metro Detroit) emerging as a small but potent part of the GOP coalition. They are, after all, a relatively religious community that has found success as small business people and as community professionals (lawyers, realtors, etc.).…
I don’t have enough stars for how spot-on this post is.
Ok, but it doesn’t.
A conspiracy theory presupposes Epstein’s brain contained information that could not be corroborated in any other way. That’s absurd on its face since we know Epstein was enabled by co-conspirators, most notably Ghislaine Maxwell, who are still walking around.
