The late ‘80s/early ‘90s, when something like Milli Vanilli and their fake singing had the public screaming about inauthenticity, feel so quaint today.

Face it, only execution would be good enough for Joe Mixon.

It wasn’t this one (the article I’m thinking of was published not long after Aaron’s arrest), but damn, this is a super interesting article, so thanks for sharing!

“I’m disappointed that this issue has brought undue attention to our football staff as we prepare for our upcoming bowl game.”

How has this never come up?

I don’t think they “righteously owned” him. I think they actually made him an offer, which by any normal standard (read: not your normal city-to-pro-sports-franchise-offer standard) would be considered a sweetheart deal. The team is going to turn it down for one reason: they’re running a business. There will be a line…

You call that castling?! Come on! Why don’t you just give him the king?! Giveit to him!

So about that...

Because of reasons that now seem less important now than at the time (I didn’t think I should have a strong beer at lunch before driving my kids around to tourist shit all afternoon), I didn’t order a pineapple IPA at a fish taco place, and not a goddamned day goes by without me regretting my decision.

Wondo’s against Belgium in WC14 still feels worse

...will reportedly replace him with retread Bruce Arena

Last time you wrote something like this you wound up winning Chopped a few years later. I expect to see the USMNT wearing striped jerseys (kits?) in 2018.

Apparently, there is a goldmine of tactical knowledge.

I don’t understand why everyone is so excited for Arena to come back.

Utterly agreed.

“Do it like Obama” is a really bad prescription, especially given that while Obama gave liberals tinglies from the Oval Office, his party lost influence at every level of government other than the federal executive (in part because all those warm-fuzzies didn’t translate to voter turnout). This is not a desirable…

Trump said he’d make America great again. Clinton responded “America is already great,” which got her lots of cheers at a rally but if you’re struggling to make rent or feed your kids, you might take a flier on the nutjob who at least says he’ll fix shit over the out of touch condescending woman who’s telling you…

I think they voted for “burn everything down,” which is a simpler way of saying they voted against the establishment.

Now there’s someone with a finger on the pulse of the common folk.
