I know that I shouldn’t expect reasonable behavior here, but it’s insane to me that at no point have any of these people thought, “Maybe we’re just reading the room wrong; maybe the vast majority of America ISN’T looking for an extreme right wing candidate.” Instead it’s always, “The reason we didn’t win (insert…

I love this post.

“Brunch” is a once-noble concept that has been co-opted by “elevated” diners and embraced by young urban professionals who name their children things like Mackenzie and Harrison but who want to indulge in the laziest form of decadence.

Makes me chuckle everytime. That’s a good fan.

I’ve never understood that particular argument. I suppose it’s one thing if you abandon ship after one or two bad seasons, and then show up during the winning years decked out in gear and being loud and obnoxious. But I try not to give anyone too much shit for not wanting to sit through a ton of bad baseball, and the…

When the Pirates made the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, after having sucked that entire time (we’re not talking the “oops, we have a winning record but we missed the cut” kind of not making the playoffs), the fans were justifiably excited, to the point that the cameras were shaking in Pittsburgh during the…

Took me a moment to discern that President Ronald Rump had, in fact, but shot right the fuck out of his hairpiece in that first gif.

I’m from Pittsburgh, but I live in Los Angeles these days. Come stay with me for a month! There’s no rain, and we can go to the beach and stare out over the Pacific and eat delicious tacos while bitching about Pennsylvania.

Oh, tell me about it. I spent my elementary school years in Aliquippa (a predominantly poor and black small city) and then moved to Raccoon Township (rural and redneck as hell and white) before junior high school. I got my education in Western Pennsylvania’s dichotomy early.

My father loves Alex Jones and I have to talk to him soon, and we never, ever stay away from politics for too long.

I have a confession: I prefer when the Raiders are good. I was raised to hate them, but the NFL as a whole is just more fun when the Raiders are a good team and I can flip to a Raiders game and sneer at them instead of feeling sorry for them.

Horseshit. HORSESHIT. When the Pirates finally (FINALLY) got competitive again, the fans were elated and were good, fun fans, and then the Cardinals fans got whiny and bitchy that sports news outlets had the GALL to suggest that maybe Pittsburgh had good, fun baseball fans and deserved to have a moment.

My dad said he was coming and then bailed at the last minute, which filled me with childhood nostalgia. What a gift!

Beethoven only made it to 56. If he’d’ve gotten to 70, he would’ve been sucking it up all over the place and you know it.

They did! 13 ended up being such a tremendous surprise.

Is Pittsburgh on the verge of being consumed by our new tech overlords, too? I left for LA 15 years ago, but now that I’ve been watching our city leaders bend over backwards to try to turn LA into some unholy combination of SF and NY instead of just letting it continue to be LA (sure, yeah, let’s build giant glass…

Well, everyone probably forgot the 2015 Atlanta Falcons, because they’re the Atlanta Falcons, but they only got to 5-0.

...so? He’s got a healthy ego. He’s a really good coach, and kind of a weirdo. What’s the big deal?

I was watching the postgame last night, and it seemed like Rich Eisen wanted to reach over and slap Steve Mariucci for continuing to stan for Tannehill at this point.
