I’ve never commented on Kinja nor have i felt compelled to. But I can’t help myself; the current state of America is completely fucked. Period. And no one is listening.

As a Cubs fan I am accustomed to waiting. Usually until next year.

It’s the only time all season the Cubs will be anywhere near number 1.

I was visiting from Houston, and had a prior engagement I had to attend. So I left around the third inning.

When I was at AM General a few years ago working at the R&D facility, we did several special forces one off type Humvees that were awesome to see. They wanted little to no armor, but a lot of fire power and fuel. M249 mounted on each door pillar, including the driver, and a 50 cal on the roof. Basically the ultimate…

oh not at all, its usually how I end up when the wife and I head to swingers clubs.

Welcome to Kinja, Mr. McMahon.

Okay, honesty time: How many of us would actually pull over and stop on the freeway for a black Monte Carlo with no police badging and tiny police-looking lights that's running you off the road in a very unprofessional way? I know I wouldn't. I would get the fuck out of there, and if he kept pursuing, I would pull…

I don't have insurance, so if this happens, I'd probably be gone a few days in :(

No. Just coffee, if I remember correctly. Never tried heroin.

Well, the difference btw Mariotti that I've seen and, oh, every other sports columnist who writes things to agitate the readership is that even his phony contrarianism is phony. All this hub-bub being kicked up over his hiring at the SF Examiner is something he'll consider a win for the paper — and, hell, he's not…

It was a teachable moment for everyone involved.

You're not missing an obvious point - just consider that we wanted to take on Mariotti for an ongoing series that would have had a beginning and an ending. I was offering him to write something I hoped would be a little more personalized and drop the whole "annoyed know-it-all" schtick. He seemed open to that during…

"He looked shocked, disgusted, even. 'That's something I could post a blog about.'

While none of this is a surprise, it is a fucking joy to read. I was working for a not-as-prominent newspaper in Chicago when Mariotti was there and enjoying his heyday. While I mostly watched his peacock strutting from the sidelines, I did "enjoy" one night on the town with him and another sports writer who was an…

What you added on the end there after the comma made your comment the best it could possibly be.

So Marriotti can't say it was a hit piece that hurt his business. It promoted it!

"Hang in there, Jay. If I've learned anything from A.J. over the years, it's that when he is this meticulous while crushing you, it's just his way of letting you know that he really does care about you."

This might be my favorite blog that's ever been posted on this Web site.
