With journalists literally acting as shills for a marketing campaign, and marketers successfully identifying a useless product with baseball fans' happy memories of a great player's long career, I'm the cynical one here?

I made literally this exact point in the article above. ("The journalists did not disappoint; calling them whores seems off only in that whores expect to be paid for their work.") Also, they're not being criticized for talking about the advertisement, but for actively insisting that it is good and that their readers…

I'm honestly curious: What compels you to defend a giant marketing corporation that sells a useless product, or claim that you don't get why a shortstop who can't move and is hitting .252/.301/.305 would be called one of the worst players in baseball?

This was a really good read.

Welp, now I'm gonna have to buy this book.

The only thing better than Kirk Cousins is Knob Creek® Bourbon with its big, full flavor and range of outstanding offerings can enhance almost any food order.

These Derek Jeter send-offs just get more and more emotional.

The NFL and its teams continue to be fantastic at getting things right on the third or fourth try...

I was put on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission List as a kid and I turned out just fine. My parents did it out of love.

Is it me or Kinja this time? I want to reply to the email from the reader that was posted on top of Drew's article. I am close to tears in my office after having read that, because it closely echoes my story. And I'll apologize upfront for piggy-backing onto someone else's moment of amazing and brave vulnerability,…

So I sat down to type one more of what I'm sure is hundreds if not thousands of responses along the lines of "MY PARENTS WHIPPED ME AND I'M NOT ALL JACKED UP IN THE PSYCHE! LIGHTEN UP GIRLY MAN! 'MERICA" and as I was constructing my argument I kind of had a breakthrough. I got whippings from my parents/grandparents…

So many pies were released by Baltimore that over in Korea, Félix felt nostalgic.

More than half of America and definitely more than half of the world think you're dead wrong when it comes to penicillin. It's sad you're so unaware of how arrogant you look by proclaiming all medicine is bad and does not work, because you have "studies" to back your claim. Sorry, you're convincing NOBODY with your…

Well.... my mum beat me, hard, long, badly, for all my entire life with her. She was born upper class catholic (non-practising, mind you, just for show) and the only thing that really mattered to her about our family was how things looked from the outside in, never a worry about our own family dysfunctions. She would…

My favorite part of the song in the clip above are these lyrics:

Children who were "beaten" won World War II,

People proclaiming themselves a moral authority usually refer to themselves as a failure who is only sometimes successful at what they're advocating, right? Such a high and mighty attitude on Drew.

Being funny, and occasionally serious. The nerve of this guy. And this article is funny AND serious! Who does he think he is !?

Are you trying to make an argument that beating your kid is a good thing, or that some people aren't allowed to discuss it?
