Probably an entertainer’s entourage was feeling entitled on a commerical flight. Probably some of the crew was racist and vocal about it. Both of these things can be true. The crew being racist is worse.

Do all the gentrified-out local businesses that actually contributed to the communities get their spaces back? That’d be awesome.

The amazing thing is, this will not silence the blind defenders. “I liked some of his entertainment product so he can’t be a horrible person!”

That line about Leonard Cohen and the Knicks is gold.

I was JUST going to ask this. Bruce Springsteen’s fans are convinced he is just God-Genius and not an above-average bar band leader who concocted a populist personae while he’s laughing at them from his money bin. Huey Lewis is Springsteen if Springsteen understood that being Springsteen is fucking ridiculous.

As someone who is mostly a baseball guy, I am fascinated to learn that Toronto’s press is as humourless and idiotic about hockey as New York’s press is about baseball. Neat.

You have to imagine that Kevin Love wanted to go back home to L.A. at least somewhat but Kobe sitting there glaring screwed that up for them as well.

If you’re gonna go to a market that can’t support a major league franchise anyway, why not go back to Hartford? At least it gets you on ESPN’s radar and sells throwback Whalers jerseys to hipsters.

They would only be a short hair’s width less annoying than the characters in ENTOURAGE if they really existed, absolutely.

If they could then explain to my fellow Mets fans that the pitcher’s win doesn’t mean a goddamned thing and, no, Bartolo Colon is actually terrible, that would be great. Because #metstwitter is trying its damnedest to pretend he’s good just because it’s fun to watch him “hit”.

Are we SURE this isn’t a hoax somehow? It just... it is TOO good.

Oh God, yeah. I fear Sandy won’t trade him unless he “wins” the trade... the same reason we didn’t jettison Gee or Colon over the winter... but if you can even just get someone to eat all his money, you gotta sign that paper.

Getting young means a lot more now that they’re at least making a modest effort to test for greenies. It’s looking like amphetamines were actually a bigger enhancement in baseball than steroids which... I guess no one wants to talk about because it flips the enhancement-shaming script? I dunno. It’s fun to watch,…

Bloggers look like retired Mens Rights Activists. Huh.

If you want a horrifyingly homophobic and bad fielding second baseman with doubles-power, for God’s sake, just eat his salary and the Coupons will give you a Daniel Murphy. Here, have a Gee and a Niese too. Maybe they can sell popcorn or something.

To be fair, as a Mets fan, we have to come up with new exciting early-adoption swear phrasings to deal with this mess. Even worse than the owners that refuse to spend money, even more frustrating than the injuries or the GM who has nothing to trade that wouldn’t mortgage the future of a once-in-a-generation starting…

They figured if they can get away with a crime against the letter Z, why not move on up to a crime against humanity?

It is not the “women’s” part of “women’s soccer” that makes it dull as hell television. It is the other word.

I like to tease my friends in a bluegrass band that they’ve named their genitals “Mumford and Sons”. That is all.

If you’re enough of a psychotic narcissist to be a daytime teevee/cable news pundit, of course you’re going to be sympathetic to someone who would try to lie their way into a false identity for fun and profit.
