As a nominal Lions fan, yes, this is exactly right. In the Harrington/Millen era, it just got to a point where it was more fun to root for Harrington to throw more interceptions, just because, why not?

You could’ve at least told us who are the A’s Wet Guys.

I’m a soccer fan in the States that is not a total world soccer fanatic, but I watch two PL games every weekend, will watch at least one major game on each CL group and knockout match day, and will tune into the occasional Bundesliga game.

David, this is perfect.

Fenech is clearly being a troll on Twitter, but that doesn’t excuse what Verlander and the Astros did. This is how it works. It’s in the CBA.

This is the Good Shit. I hope he remains on the brink of insanity all season and does absolutely wild shit related to the team’s kicking game. Go for two almost every time? Hell yes! Go for it on 4th and short between the 20 and 30 yard lines, and go for it on 4th and long between the 30 and 40? PLEASE.

His friend with the Maryland flag shorts -- that’s a bold choice.

Yeah but his hair is dumb!

Bravo.

Personally, the only reason it was interesting to me was because it was Liverpool v. Chelsea, Liverpool had a touch-and-go offseason of friendlies, and several of their best players were on international duty and could use more reps playing together again to be ready for the “real” games.

In related news, Neera Tanden wants everyone to know that actually, the Irish were the first slaves in American!

Last time this topic came up in these parts I had the gall to suggest that in any sport there’s a certain push and pull between the values of “entertainment” and “fairness,” and that we absolutely need to sacrifice some fairness to retain entertainment because, fundamentally, that’s what this is about — entertaining…

This passage stuck out for me a lot the last few weeks because it is a reversal of what David always seemed to do with Silver Jews songs.

I guess none of us know, and probably never will unless he confided with someone (Dan K.? Cassie?) that ultimately feels it appropriate to share. But to be honest, I didn’t get the same feeling as you. He worked hard on this record. He scrapped a set of recordings with Dan Bejar (which necessarily means they were…

Wow. SJ was never cheery, but the new PM record was noticably different... DCB always had a knack for pulling you out of the shit with a wry lyric at the right time. This new record is wonderful but is largely devastating without the aforementioned moments. Whatever happened I hope it was calm and DCB was with someone…

I’ve thought about that, too. The independent brewers that’ve managed steady and stable growth to a large scale are, on the whole, very rare. Boston Beer Co. and Dogfish were two of them, Sierra Nevada, Bell’s, Stone...

But to the Kobe fan, a creation that miraculously combines the odiousness of a Lakers fan with the paralyzing insecurity of any hockey fan

Deserves so many +1s

He’s right and he’d be a great Senator from Texas.
