How to Deal With The Media

It is? I’ve never thought huckster had any racial connotations. Hmm. 

Interesting, my only experience has been with the word being applied to what might be considered “po’ white trash” - carnies (literally) and those a little rough around the edges who sometimes go door-to-door. Might be a regional thing, I grew up in a very white area.

Thanks, but I get mistaken for Terry Crews all the time.

I enjoy your work on Brooklynn 99.

MEET ME BEHIND THE WHOLE FOODS MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!

That was a really athletic catch, but I truly think that it is his work ethic and intelligence that will make him a success.

Did you know that Rex Grossman throwing a pick six can give a man of average size enough strength to break the screen of a brand new plasma TV with a thrown “NFC Champions” hat? You do now.

This. The fact that Rice’s initial suspension was two games when guys were losing entire seasons for weed was the last straw for me.

I do not watch the NFL, but I will gleefully read every article about how fucked up and stupid the NFL is.*

WHY IS HE COVERING HIS HEAD? IS HE A MUSLIM?

During a sporting event, you are only allowed to take a knee while praying to White American Jesus™ or running out the clock. No other knee related movements are okay.

How Peter King and a thousand hot-takers across the nation read this:

“Also, I was trying to get our entire team to follow Kap’s protest and would have except our chickenshit QB thought it would be bad for his advertising value to say anything of interest about anything controversial.”

This is an excellent take that will be drowned out by rocket fuel-level takes from fans and talking heads alike real soon. So I will applaud this before the avalanche of hate-fueled and/or point-missing retorts comes, in and out of the league.
