Wingdings: Coincidentally, the same font used for Trump’s speech last night. (As translated from the original German.)

a) Fastpass is pretty much a necessity at any theme park now. I used to go to Six Flags Great Adventure once or twice a summer when I was in college, and it is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra $30 or $40 or whatever it was to be able to skip lines. Holy crap was it worth it

Oh god, it took me way longer than it should have. +1

I mean, it’s not even accurate. He probably doesn’t even own any minorities.

Now, THIS is a type of message you save the comic sans font for!

This has me wondering why we don’t see more athlete progeny of statistically significant aberrant body types in sports. For example, Wilt Chamberlain has to have like 100+ kids - what were they all up to in the late 90s / early 00s? Kareem, Yao, whoever really… these 7 ft people make other 7 ft people so why isn’t the…

Oh sweet mother of internets, your nightmares are simply a Google away. That motherfucker on the left .... he’s ... he’s ... oh Lord almighty he scares chil’ren.

Nothing compared to Mike Huckabee teaching his sons to continue eating while shitting.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Presidents of cop unions are the most dangerous assholes in this country.

As for Crowell admitting he was wrong and acted out of rage — Loomis says, “You’re a grown ass man, and you claim you were too emotional to know it was wrong? Think we’ll accept your apology? Kiss my ass.”

Well, I think this is more ad-driven than anything else - NBC paid eleventy bajillion dollars for the Olympic rights and they're going to wring every penny out of their coverage - but speaking on a more general level, their Olympic coverage is trash and has been for some time now.

Counterpoint: NO.

NBC’s hyper-jingoism and constant “US as the underdog” coverage (even though we are the favorite in 70% of the events) makes me actively root against the US in every event.

The popularity of swimming during the Olympics is one of the most puzzling things to me. I mean, it’s ok because racing is cool, but compared to running, horse racing, cycling, or even auto-racing, it’s not terribly interesting to look at. And with the competitors so physically and visually isolated from one another,…

I’m a man, and I would much rather prefer, specifically, “an Olympics with nothing but sports instead of the stories and profiles that have come to define NBC’s coverage over the years.”

Sochi, London, Vancouver, Beijing, Torino, Salt Lake City.

and then his eyes roll backbackbackbackback in his head until he’s GONE!

At least we only grew up with him on our TV’s. Keith Olbermann was on Puck Soup (the Greg Wyshynski/Dave Lozo hockey pod for Nerdist) and mentioned he actually went to school with Berman growing up and had to deal with him practicing his schtick back then, only to end up working with him at ESPN and have to deal with…

He’s fucking awful. I’m not even convinced he’s watched a sporting event in the last 20 years. Hell for me would be sitting between him and Glenn Ordway at a Sizzler while watching a Bills game.

Totally agree. While one out of every 27 Bermanisms makes me smirk still, the other 26 make me cringe and want to mute the TV. I really try to respect his enthusiasm after all these years but mostly he just sounds like a dirty old man who can’t get enough of his own jock.
