I know I inherit it. And I do cherish it. But it’s not the same as actually winning at some point when I was old enough to really appreciate it, y’know?

I was 4 in 1986. It’s nice to know it happened and that I was at the ticker tape parade and all, but it’s not exactly something I remember.

Oof. I’m also a Knicks fan, and before I abandoned the NFL as a whole out of disgust I was a Jet fan. The Knicks were really the only choice growing up (no one was going to be a New Jersey Nets fan when I was growing up in Brooklyn—ironic now, of course). But my father wasn’t much of a football fan, so I chose the…

Interesting. My dad grew up a Dodger fan in Queens as well—because his father was a Dodger fan who grew up in Brooklyn. They never felt the Mets were Giants part 2 but rather was equally indebted to both teams. My father stayed a Dodger fan for a short while after they moved, but embraced the Mets pretty quickly.…

Are you not aware of how much of an outlier that pennant is? The Mets and the Pirates have a pretty similar amount of success in the last 30 years (if anything the Pirates have had more success), and the Pirates don’t have the drawback of being run so atrociously that they are the laughingstock of baseball.

Life would be easier if I rooted for pretty much any other team. Why did my dad and my dad’s dad have to be Brooklyn Dodger fans? Why couldn’t they have been the only kids in Brooklyn and Queens to root for the Yankees? Sure, they would have been pariahs then, but now such a decision would just have looked smart.…

Namath was the first passer ever to throw for 4,000 yards - at a time when most QBs didn’t throw for 3,000 yards. Judging his stats with a contemporary lens isn’t really fair to him. That said, he quickly became injury prone and his time being a truly great QB was very very short.

Red Sox fans spew racist insults, sun rises in the east. Film at eleven.

In Summer 2006 I was in Mozambique for a job. We had to clear away 6 foot tall grass around some dilapidated ruins. I took one of the machetes we had for this task and started chopping down the grass. Let me tell you, that made the job so much easier.

You’re right, because opening campaigning for Hillary and telling his supporters that Trump is a much wore option that anything else could be and that’s why he was refusing to run as a 3rd party candidate is the same as never trying to stop them.

Not true. There’s also Judge Parker. I guess they don’t fuck as much in that one. But it is full of hot people getting disgustingly wealthy.

What the fuck is the point of this article? Why bash Bernie for trying to mobilize and fight the boogyman who’s in power? I voted Hillary in the primary, but I don’t begrudge any left wing politician who is genuinely resisting the current regime. Hillary vs. Bernie was over fucking forever ago in terms of relevance to…

I think he was saying the courts sided with him.

Why do we keep giving attention to this bitter, bigoted, seemingly crazy (definitely obsessed) woman? She got fired 20 years ago and still can’t get over it.

Nolan? Are you doing some weird sort of trolling or is this a typo?

I live in Koreatown. There is a massive epidemic of mentally ill homeless people in K-Town, Downtown, Hollywood, Santa Monica—really all over the city. We really need to address this problem and bring back shelters and public mental health services in the city. It’s a goddamn travesty, and one of the ways the city is…

The sign was purchased on ebay—the wording wasn’t commissioned or anything, it was premade (and possibly secondhand). If the owners didn’t understand it in English, they probably also didn’t understand it in Spanish. So I’m not sure what point you’re making. Unless you’re just trolling, a la the last sentence of your…

good

This is very good and a lot of fun. One small note, though: FDR didn’t hold the job of president for 16 years. He held it for a hair over 12 years before dying just a handful of months into his fourth term.
