Excellent column. And the replacement is easy and already on ESPN: Jalen. Rose. Would be light years better and can already imagine the banter reaching Reggie Miller-Kevin Harlan levels. 

Peanut butter and (real) maple syrup is the very best.

i just want to see him do the work in therapy/anger management to be at peace with himself and express his emotions in a healthy, rather than destructive way. At this point, I think he needs to step away from tennis to do that, and I’m tired of us tennis fans gawking at his toxicity. Whether he is able to get healthy…

“Cat. K-A-T. I’m outta here.”

What on earth is happening just to the right of Belichick in that final photo?

“The defense are at sixes and sevens” is lesser-used but still one of my favorites. I know what it means in context of a match, but I have absolutely no clue what the phrase itself actually means.

Volgograd. Not Stalingrad.

He’s the real Ambassador (Bridge).

Works out to $1.28M per victim ($425M/332). I know that is still a lot of money, but it seems a paltry sum for what each of these victims went through.

i get Yanny in my right earbud & Laurel in my left earbud. Once I put both in, i could hear both.

Tuukka was absolutely great, but spare a thought for Pastrnak’s silky pass to Marchand for the 2nd goal. As pretty a 2-on-1 as I’ve seen these playoffs.

Foul tip fouls tip! Ouch.

“almost as if there was a baseball team that played hit-for-contact, bunt-steal, sac-fly baseball, game-in and game out. Say nobody on that team ever really ends up being great and neither is the pitching, but they get it done.”

Andreychuk was a beast on NHLPA ‘92 for SNES. He and Pat LaFontaine made the Sabres tough on that game.

This one is certainly king, but I also enjoy the Mass State Troopers & Boston Police tweets every May and September when college kids/families moving in/out get their rental trucks stuck on Storrow Drive. Usually one to three occurrences per moving cycle.

Dear God please let the Celtics take Jackson, the Lakers take Fultz and Ball just plummet down the board.

Seconded by this Royals fan, born in 1984. 2014 (with a series of awesome moments but the gut-wrenching WS loss to Bumgarner) & 2015 (WS win) were as high a mountaintop as I will ever experience in sports fandom. And a good part of that is becuase they were absolutely useless dogcrap for the previous 29 years of my…

Were the Bluth’s involved?

He STILL beefs with all of Royals twitter bc we swept his sorry-ass O’s in 2014 ALDS & then won the WS in 2015 despite his season-long trolling insistence that KC were a joke. (And hey, we are a joke again now, but we’ll always have 14 & 15!) Guy is like the Trump of shitty sportswriters.

DFW international terminal is very nice, though it’s been 8 yrs since I was there. DEN is probably 2 or 3 times too big, but is usually very nice as well.
