I was so excited about the back end of the bullpen coming into the year. Lugo/Wilson->Familia->Diaz for close games in the 7-8-9 innings sounded so good.  Before you ask, yes, I am a Mets fan, and yes, next year is definitely our year!

Yeah we use my old white t-shirts for cleaning rags and I’ve heard the thin cotton of many boxers are good for dusting too. No reason to not use it for something else even after it has lost its allure as wearable under garments.

Well in that case I should probably just go bathe in a sewer...

So what does an appropriate fan do, in your opinion? I yell “throw the ball” at Eli 3-4 times per Giants game because I enjoy being engaged in the game, not because I think he can hear me. Are you like my wife and make the clever comment of “yell louder, I don’t think they can hear you,” when watching sports on TV?

Maybe you just don’t work in the right environment to enjoy the daily shit.  My floor has about 8 guys on it, and I generally have pleasant morning deuces.

I’m not sure many people expected them to play Auburn in the Final Four and Texas Tech in the final though.

Drew looks great in them:

I actually chuckled out loud at the “Like Magary, I like red onions and Mayo”

I haven’t been to many stadiums, but as a New Yorker I always scoff when people assume wearing a Red Sox hat to Yankee stadium (or even vice versa) is dangerous. I have some friends that are Boston fans, and we try to go to a few games a year at both stadiums. It’s typically nothing but mutual respect. Not sure if the…

Journalism, especially online journalism, is quite the supply/demand model. If you don’t like this many articles on a particular topic, don’t click on them. If they continue to be published despite you not reading them, realize that you are alone in not caring and move on.

I’m not sure if he misread your comment or is just dense but I got what you were saying. They literally charged more money for worse parking spots while they finished the final parking lot. I also don’t understand why he got so angry at your comment but I don’t question the anger of strong islanders.

“It’s no coincidence that Izzo was defended by guys who are themselves successful, well-off, and have the freedom to say what’s on their mind.”

I had to remind myself that, although I definitely practiced kickflips in my dorm room, it was for very short amounts of time and could not be long enough to be considered “hours” . . . unless Outshined_One is named James, I think I am safe from this list.  Oh, and FUCK YOU upstairs Brian, NOBODY walks that heavy…

Or other players.  Athletes are, by their nature, super competitive.  Once you find out who else is making the tennis team, you could look up the USTA rankings and realize that either your coach missed something or something fishy is going on.

I stop on my way home from work 2-3 days per week. I do most of the cooking in my household, and I’ll be damned if I am going to plan what I want for dinner on Thursday during our weekly Sunday stop. We get the essentials and non-perishables that we’ve run out of, and I stop on my way home for meats or specialty items…

2 things: First, I hate when people get angry at me for disliking a food. I fucking love to eat, and I love eating new things, you think I ENJOY not ENJOYING certain foodstuffs? I hate olives, but I try them every 6 months or so to see if my tastebuds changed enough to like them. Suffice it to say, life would be…

Every team plays 1 TNF game (with the opening week and Lions/Cowboys Thanksgiving games not counting sometimes). And many teams don’t play MNF. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that a team that plays TNF in week 2 would have a bye in week 1 in your scenario. Solution: 2 bye weeks. AFC is off week 8, NFC is off…

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Your question specifically mentions “the realization that some of that damage is irreversible or won’t stop because people (morons) refuse to believe it, it probably becomes more rational to limit the potential impact rather than change behavior” so I think it already accounted for Burneko’s rant on our behavior but…

This type of thing would surely be reported on by local news outlets though right?  Even if they left his name out, I would think “man assaulted after award show for gimmicky sportsblog site” would come up....bleh, enough speculation it is getting depressing.  Get well, Drew
