And even live sports have been slipping. Witness all the news about ESPN losing cash recently.

Utterly uninformed outsider here: I think the bubble has popped on TV contracts, regardless of the TV market. I’m at work, so I can’t do the research, but didn’t a college conference have to accept a significantly lower bid for a TV channel than they originally wanted? Or the Padres wanted a huge amount for rights,…

Is St Louis really in that group? I get that they just lost an NFL franchise, but it seems like most people were happy to see it go. And MLS is hardly the shiniest jewel, but rejecting a stadium deal for a new team doesn’t speak well for other franchises’ futures there.

I’m a HUGE Community fan, and I’m utterly ashamed I haven’t been thinking of great Dean gifs. Must remedy now.

I think the precedent is being set in LA as we speak. If the city fails to support the Rams AND the Chargers, the biggest bogeyman in NFL relocation schemes utterly disappears (though with Las Vegas set to take its place). Hence why the league was offering huge subsidies to Spanos to get him to stay; the THREAT of…

Inhumans: Wow, SO CLEVER that the characters’ names happen to start with the same letter as the first letters of the Inhuman Royal Family! What a marvelous act of subterfuge

I don’t know, it was so . . . indiscriminate in BvS. At least with previous movies, you could say that the deaths were (often, though not always) a result of sloppy attacks by his enemies. It’s also probably got something to do with the tone of BvS. The deaths in it felt so much more shocking than the various deaths…

HOLY CRAP, she looks exactly like my future wife Abigail Spencer in that picture

Then you’re in the wrong sports blog, shitheel

That entire sequence still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. That two minute sequence is a damn masterpiece.

You did at first, but not anymore, so don’t sweat it. I’m probably not a lot better.

This is such a good idea I can’t believe no one’s ever done this before

So, looking beyond that Geno thinks men’s basketball is trash: what’s kept him coaching UConn? I’ve gotta think there’s more money to be made coaching a men’s team, and he has to have gotten offers by now (...right?).

Worth the clickthrough

I don’t know if I agree, simply because there’s a difference between Black/African-American art, and art that speaks to the Black/African-American experience. The Solange album, and a lot of the works you mentioned, are both. So while I can recognize it as a significant piece of work, the basis for it is going to be…

In other words, he’s Reagan all over again

White man here, so I’d humbly add that I think Solange’s A Place At The Table is basically a masterpiece

Only person making more money than him on the Knicks is Carmelo, though...

Oh word? Find me a canon story where Batman kills people indiscriminately from the last 20 years

Nah. As you agreed with Slopez Island, people contain multitudes. They are perfectly able to work against their own longterm best interests really easily.
