I grew up in Pittsburgh, but have lived the last 16 years in Los Angeles. I don’t see my mother all that often anymore, and despite the fact that we have a fairly good relationship, and she’s getting older and has MS, and Pittsburgh is ostensible “hip” now (lol), she always ends our periodic conversations with “Do not…

I know it’s funny to say that Denver would’ve won SB 50 with a rock at QB, but I really think an underrated part of that run (not that the defense wasn’t the primary contributor) was Peyton Manning’s brain. His body was a dessicated husk, but it had to have helped at least a little that Denver still had the mind of…

Hell, at this point I’m sure Nutting is thanking his lucky stars for those three years so he can go right back to cheaping out without 20+ years of the franchise losing looming over him.

I am with you, my friend — brothers in arms. The beach is trash, and the magnificence of the ocean is not enough to overcome how trash the beach is.

Oh, Chuck, you sweet summer child...

Absolutely not. I’ve said it here before: I’m convinced Bannon or someone told him during the campaign, “You’re like a modern day Andrew Jackson!” and that’s been the basis of his Jackson-humping ever since.

So the Pirates had three damn good and enjoyable years there, and I thought to myself, “Hey, looks like they may have turned a corner for good!” I got suckered, didn’t I? This kinda shit gives me flashbacks to... oh, just pick a year from 1993 to 2010 (and the latter half of ‘11 and ‘12).

Hey, hey, now, don’t get it twisted... he’s also the sorry pre-Belichick Pats coach who had to go to college.

I’m not sure how he was during his Red Wings years, but Wregget was the primary back-up in Pittsburgh through most of the ‘90s, and he was always solid and sometimes great when he was on the ice because Tom Barrasso was injured or had lost his mind again. Fond memories of Wregget.

Ha! You and I might be the same person. I will follow Billy to the ends of the earth even though I know he’s a crackpot who says *tons* of stupid shit.

Once, back in college, I was reading outside of the campus theater, early for one of my classes (I was at USC, in the film program). A very pretty woman came up to me, asked me about what I was reading, sat next to me, engaged me in some casual conversation, asked me if I liked coffee (“Oh yes, very much!), asked me…

Agreed. This will be a standard Floyd fight, albeit against a much less qualified opponent. Afterward, people will call him a coward who dances too much as if they hadn’t been given 49 previous opportunities to understand that Floyd is Floyd and will always box like Floyd.

THANK YOU. I wish more people understood that it’s not just a matter of tossing up new buildings for the planners and professionals and East Coasters who got priced out of New York but would just *die* if they had to live somewhere uncool.

Wasn’t that the game where, near the end, two Seattle defenders just straight up lifted Stafford off the ground and dropped him flat on his back and ass, and there was no penalty or anything? I have a vague recollection of that, and then later on seeing a clip of it played while ZMF declared it “fucking undignified.”…

They may be better in a regular season sort of way, but Boston will not be getting past Cleveland in the playoffs with that roster as long as LeBron is there and still functional.

What a crock, I was excited for a moment.

I’m with you. Trump is incompetent, and I have a difficult time seeing him come to a good end, but at some point someone is going to pick up the baton and if that person has legitimate conviction beyond “more attention and money, please,” and a brain capable of sophisticated planning, we’ve got significantly worse…

Well, small silver lining, Amoeba Hollywood isn’t going away until its lease is up, which is still a few years down the road.

Between what’s happening in that area of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip turning into an endless string of hotels, soon all the stuff that you’d actually want to spend time in Hollywood to see will be gone to make room for the people who want to see it (not the Jack in the Box, of course, but watching an anonymous…
