Free Doris Burke!

NO ONE DENIES THIS

Never saw this, but almost thought about thinking about seeing it purely thanks to the soulful Pink Floyd cover in the trailer
(ETA: the shit really doesn’t kick in til 1:25 or so)

I was a long-time Simmons fan and avid Grantland reader, but over time, my allegiance mutated such that I was an avid Grantland reader who tolerated Simmons. That site was so stacked with talent — Lowe, Barnwell, Rem, Pappademas, Greenwald, Lambert, Ryan, Phillips, Yoshida, Lynch, Morris, Hyden, Concepcion, etc. —…

This is bad, and you should feel bad.

Let’s remember some guy

I oscillate between thinking Hopkins is great in this (scene with Ed Harris in the bar) and thinking that he’s just ostentatiously devouring scenery (greyhound anecdote). To be fair, scenery-chewing from Hopkins is often still great, but some of the time it ends up feeling like capital-A Acting that almost pulls me…

I was at a Redmond’s, a block south of Nisei, for Game 6 of the LCS last Saturday. The line was probably 100 people deep by 3:30; we got there at 1:00 for a 7pm game to get a table. I can’t imagine what it looks like right now (getting on the red line in 30 minutes to get home, though, so I guess I’m about to find out)

Well, if the question is which is more racially problematic, it seems straightforward given that the Cleveland logo/mascot is analogous to Trump himself: an idiotic and offensive caricature of a real human being (with an unnatural and offensive skin tone) that functions as an avatar for an overtly racist worldview…

I like how you just moved right past the totally plausible idea of Tim Duncan throwing down a Westbrookian tomahawk jam, but Eckstein hitting the homerun was a hyperbole too far.

Postbellum tactics re: reintegration is something I haven’t thought much about, but now will (props to you). That said, going by that logic, then really, you’d have to say the two country divide actually started when the country was literally divided into two countries — not necessarily at the point of secession, but…

Even (especially?) as a Cowboys fan, they seem like the obvious choice

I take your point, but also, I feel like there’s a decent chance that part of what was “going through his head” and preventing him from remembering was the continued vibration of his brain after being bounced against the walls of his skull like silly putty.

He looks like Errol Flynn if Errol Flynn got way into CrossFit.

I’m a Cowboys fan (hang on) who was born in Texas (hang on), and I can vouch for how ultimately pointless it is to have Monte Kiffin’s reanimated corpse preside over any aspect of your defense.
