So, in other words, replay review isn’t helpful in determining whether there was or wasn’t a catch because there is no determinative fact that is unclear in real time but becomes clear through replay review? Fair enough. (Although refs make plenty of errors - super-obvious errors? - that replay review CAN correct…

I swear, on that last play, the 88-yard run, Ravens No. 54 performs a masterful block on the Browns’ pulling guard, creating a huge hole for Chubb to run through directly behind him.

So Alvarez was a three-run dinger from hitting the dinger cycle (solo, two-run, three-run, and grand slam). Yikes.

The design choices they made on that banner — having crossbars on the “I” in “HAIL” and the bottom crossbar positioned on the yellow stripe across the bottom — causes it to read at casual glance as “WE HATE VICTORY,” which just feels right.

I would watch that.

This is an odd argument, since “the system in which numerous athletes have received meaningless degrees that they did not earn through their own learning, but were awarded to them because of their ability to generate, collectively, millions of dollars for a handful of individuals” is, in fact, the American educational…

I’ve never understood the criticism of a piece of entertainment as “wholly unnecessary.” I mean, the first Frozen movie wasn’t “necessary,” in any meaningful sense of the word. I think this new approach of yours—evaluating entertainment based on its entertainment value rather than necessity—is a better approach.

That was thing you’re thinking of was the alien. 

On the contrary, Russell Westbrook has shown a total inability to stop Russell Westbrook. And that’s who nobody is better at stopping the Thunder than Russell Westbrook.

I mean, they don’t HAVE to wear diapers. But I don’t know what’s more shameful, shitting oneself with or without a diaper while waiting in line for the ball drop. The former says “I didn’t think this through,” while the latter says, “I thought this through and not only accepted that I would shit myself, but planned on…

There’s a bananas espn article on the Roethlisberger extension entitled “Steelers are paying Ben Roethlisberger to galvanize team.” Nothing gets me going like a coworker getting a raise so big it both precludes me from getting a raise myself and prevents my employer from hiring personnel of sufficient quality for my…

The only job for which I would consent to a daily black-tie dress code is high-end ice cream taste-tester (only-the-good-flavors division). 

As someone who is never sure if he looks ridiculous, this comment has made me extremely worried about my pastel dress shirts.

I think it's actually pronounced like it looks, but Jizyah is an Arabic word for a poll tax that's apparently become a not-uncommon name.

Let’s remember some Guys. 

I showed this to a coworker who had never heard of it before and he immediately identified an entry - Vinay Pimple - as a former city council member of a town he used to live in (Richmond, CA. Then I showed him last year’s bracket and he immediately identified another entry as a member of that same city council. I…

Doesn’t Trump regularly invoke his uncle being a scientist or having gone to MIT as proof of his own scientific expertise? Do people just buy this expertise-adjacency argument? Is this a thing now?!

That was such a bad starting five. Now, if the Lakers had included Lebron, they might have gotten somewhere.

[T]he Warriors went on a monstrous run between the second and third quarters[.]
