I tried that once, but Janice in accounting beaned me with a stale muffin on our next call.

If someone was going to ruin Endgame, I’d have guessed Andy Reid.

I’m turning 34 this year and I never really believed all the people who said taking care of yourself in your 20's is important because your 30's is when shit starts to go wrong and deteriorate. Surely I would have had until my 40's (or even 50's?!) before my body decided to give up on me! Nope. Now I’m stuck in the…

The best part of it was it’s the shot he wanted the whole time. Over the best wing defender in basketball, from almost 40 feet away. 

One of those truly seminal moments* that justifies all the dumb shit involved in following sports.

I think there’s a mile of difference between an emotionally impactful story development and an upsetting moviemaking choice. I wasn’t upset because Spider-Man was dying; I was upset over the gratuitous choice, by the filmmakers, to linger on the awful death of the only child character in a comic-book movie that, no…

Also “my son’s self-esteem will be irreparably harmed if he’s aware a girl is better then him at something.” 

I have found it is always the least special, least unique, least impressive people that shout about their race/gender/sexual identity/etc., being superior. This is further evidence of that.

Not a Lost fan? 

Lovely write-up on the benefits of pro/rel, ironunkindness. One of the many problems with trying to institute it pro/rel in the US is that every single casual fan in America would need to read this and takes notes on it, and probably take a damned COURSE over “how this works elsewhere,” to make US fans understand why,…

I’m not saying you have to like anyone, but this is why people tend to think of Embiid as a lovable goof.

I also heard a Columbus area strip club won an award over a Tampa area sex dungeon, that was a pretty big upset too 

I would argue that, from a fan’s perspective, the goal is the enjoyment of the sport. That involves championships, but also the day-in/day-out interactions and the agony of defeat and all of that jazz.

It creates additional incentives for competing on the field over simply competing in the accountant’s office.

The problem people are having with MLS is they are not even allowing their business to mature. They’re on a money-grab, expanding with no top-flight talent coming in. Their refusal to partner with USL to develop a legitimate Pro/Rel system further eradicate their credibility in the sport.

give it time

Honestly, this was an asinine controversy when it came out, and its asinine to continue to even half-pretend otherwise.

I’m pretty cynical and no stranger to leaping to worst case judgment. But I’ve seen this exact situation play out after snapping photos at events. Like, of course Laura Ingraham was probably making a barely coded gesture, but often, catching someone midwave can lead to an awkward position.

I mean, it was obvious from the word go that he wasn’t actually doing a Nazi salute, but had he been, ignorance seems like a pretty easy thing to fake here.

Yeah...the Knicks acquired Wesley Matthews and Deandre Jordan in a trade for Kristaps. Both are older, prematurely aged, and no longer particularly effective.
