Okay, there are a few points worth making that go overlooked:

So I have no doubt that the Richmond bunch would be 100% affirming of Colin’s identity and his right to love who he loves. I in no way would extend that confidence to the British tabloid press or opposing fans. Colin doesn’t want to be a figurehead, or turned into a punchline for rival supporter groups, or a martyr in…

We knew it was a sham operation by the noted absence of Detlef Schrempf.

But what should we do for National Lima Bean Respect Day?

It requires investment, which means building a business plan to cover the up-front costs, and working with banks and other financiers to fund it. Not everyone has the drive, or the ability to sell the plan.

Back in 2015, the infamous Red Card wedding in a US Open Cup match between the Sounders and Timbers saw 4 players sent off before time, including one over-the-top moment where Clint Dempsey stole the referee’s notebook and cards from his pocket, and then proceeded to dramatically rip them up in front of the ref’s…

Did they have access the the mythical Tottenham Hotspur executive cheese room?

It still cracks me up about how when Zlatan moved to LA, LeBron James posted a “welcome to LA” thing on instagram, to which Zlatan replied, “A king welcomes a god.”

You can’t dust for vomit.

I think in retrospect, the problem wasn’t that they were right, it’s that the complaint about lost revenue was coming from the biggest band on the planet. The whole “free play leads to promotion that will lead to touring profit” failed to take into account the costs of studio production and touring itself. Home…

I’m frankly not surprised. It’s not an all-ages show like all the other SW content out there. It’s also not merchandised to all hell and back, so it doesn’t have the immediate cultural visibility of something like The Mandalorian or The Book of Boba Fett, or the animated shows. It’s a slow burn. Entire episodes go by…

I think part of it is that this is the first Star Wars show that was written for adults rather than children as the primary audience. While it’s definitely great for me as a childless adult, I can’t imagine that people who want Star Wars to just be “laser guns and lightsabers all the time” are treating it as…

Samswell that ends well.

Financial Fair Play actually prevents wealthy owners from coming in and just spending for a top-tier team at a loss, and the Football League in particular harshly punishes violations, oftentimes with points deductions that can result in multiple relegations. Teams have to fund their player salaries and transfer…

Yeah, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel just assumed that the person they were talking to was Detective Williams, and the person on the other end of the line was perfectly willing to let them keep believing that to be the case.

Maybe he comes back as the Eddie from all the Iron Maiden albums.

I gotta’ say, though, if Helios really is as committed to the flat org-structure as they say they are, Ed’s gonna’ hate it. Dude’s got hierarchy implanted deep in his bones, and even when he goes outside of it, he makes sure that everyone else underneath him sticks to it as rigidly possible. (For what it’s worth, the…

It’s also worth mentioning that the character of Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski was directly inspired by Milius, which makes that movie retroactively funnier, and also makes Conan a lot funnier, too.

To say that Michael Mando deserves an Emmy is self-evident, and it’s a testament to the quality of the acting on this show that he’d face stiff competition across the board from the absurdly deep bench. I mean, obviously Oedenkirk and Seehorn are brilliant, but no matter how deep you go down the cast list, you’ll find…

I’ll also say that smart, benevolent leadership should want their employees to unionize, as the union serves as an effective way to truly understand the wants and needs of their employee base, as well as a way to ensure that a cultural concern for employee well-being endure in the event of a change in ownership.
