Ahhh, this sucks. Get better soon Drew. I really want to read The Hike 2: Electric Crabaloo.

Yeah, these are really bafflingly awful choices. Worse still they’re going to be used as examples by everyone making the case for why their local pretty good player should be in the HOF and we already have dopes arguing for Omar Vizquel. 

I know lots of broke assholes.

And he’s only marginally more racially acceptable to Trump voters.

Man, whoever takes over in Chicago is really going to have to take the flower by the thorns.

She briefly considered buying some oregano in 2007 but decided against her food coming off as “too ethnic”. 

Downside, it seems like Chelsea fans are obnoxious racist dickwads.

Very well then. In the GBBO context, let me put on my best Paul Hollywood and say that while they’re nailing the presentation and technical aspects of the bake, I think they’re letting us down on flavours. 

Annoyed is too strong, I think. The show’s still fun. There are still some good performances. The dialogue is snappy.

Ok. I didn’t watch Bunheads and I only sort of watched Gilmore Girls but neither of those are cultures I knew anything about so I couldn’t have spoken to how they felt either way.

But it seems like she’s confirming in that very statement that it’s not her version of judaism. She’s saying her relationship with Judaism was, effectively, similar to mine. A holidays and family sort of thing where the culture of being Jewish mattered more than the actual religion.

The show’s whole relationship with Judaism seems off. From all of the non-Jews doing what I can only assume is their best imitation of Jewish patter to the idea that comedy would be at all a weird element in someone’s life to, as mentioned, not getting the details right this show has always seemed like someone’s weird

This is legitimately one of the dumbest responses I’ve ever got on this site. I didn’t say anything about what Harper “deserves” or really anything about Harper at all. I said I don’t get why Boras is the bad guy for trying to get the most money for his clients when it’s a bunch of dickweed billionaires on the other

I’ve always thought that longevity should mainly be a tie-breaker when you have two guys who had roughly equal peaks not as a counter-balance to one guy clearly being better than the other during their prime. So, with Orr-Lidstrom, you have Orr who won a couple of Hart trophies, should have won more and was in the top

Assuming the league was ever anywhere near being “full of juicers”, sure. Personally, I don’t think it was. 

Yeah, take that Bor-Ass! Nice try getting the most money for your client from this Billionaire!

Absolutely he has a case. But as I said elsewhere, they’re baseball arguments. They’re supposed to have angles and perspectives and not necessarily be resolved by a single mathematical equation.

Well, I think the issue with Pedro is the old issue of talking about longevity when it comes to “greatness”. Bobby Orr is the greatest defenseman of all time, no matter that Nik Lidstrom was at a very high level for three times as long. If you accept that Clemens’ numbers are at least a little exaggerated then Pedro

I think the argument re: Clemens is that there should be a middle ground between “Steroids make you forever tainted and unworthy” and “Steroids shouldn’t enter the conversation at all” and that middle-ground should be “Steroids impacted stats and so you can’t just compare the numbers of juiced guys to unjuiced guys

Yeah dude, again, being a sports fan is not a sexual kink. If you want to say it’s an unhealthy obsession for some people, have at it but if someone says “I like my local sports team” it is in no way a clue to how they get off.
