That’s not really what the situation is in Detroit. None of the veteran contracts people are complaining about are for formerly good, historically underpaid players. I don’t hear many complaints about Kronwall’s deal, even though he’s a stiff out there nowadays, because he falls into the category you are describing.…

People swoon at the early payback of the loan, but the stadium deal isn’t just egregious for the initial public funds used. Illitch bought up prime real estate in the city and let it sit derelict for 15 years (depressing the area further and preventing any organic turn around) and then colluded with the DDDA in 2014…

Unfortunately I think this is wishful thinking. It will be younger on average because Z is gone (which is a big loss) and maybe some young guys will get call ups due to injuries, but the 22 man roster they announced today is practically the same as last year. I’m glad Witkowski isn’t on there, but watch for Abdelkader…

Sparks was the superior death drink. For special occasions (Wednesdays) the other robots and I used to mix 4 cans of orange Sparks, a bottle of Andre champagne and a fifth of citrus vodka in a bowl and drink it like punch. Real classy shit.

OC = California, One Tree Hill = Basketball, Dawson’s Creek = James Van Der Beek. Maybe this information will your life one day.

Uh, ok. Didn’t really call for any heads to roll. The point of my comment was that I had already fucked off regardless of what happens next so I guess I’ll just continue to do so.

This is the only comment that matters.

Not just your college friend. Although it was referred to as “MacTavishing”.

I can’t either. Her age (54!) and reproductive history (barren!) aside, how are we/they to assume this new baby is just a regular old baby after everything we’ve seen to this point? Mulder and Scully don’t even look happy at the end, they just look confused and tired.

I’m a MSU grad as well and I’m done even if heads do roll. There’s honestly nothing MSU or the NCAA could do to win back my support short of a complete overhaul of the entire system, which isn’t happening.

I got caught up on the “If I’m not a father” line too, but after I thought about it it’s in line with his season 8 and beyond behavior. Mulder wanted to be the father of that kid so bad that he just accepted the “miracle” explanation in the face of a ton of evidence and people straight up telling him that he was an…

I have no idea what you are talking about. What are you talking about?

The woman who wrote the episode, Karen Nielsen, said in an interview that it was a private moment between Mulder and Scully and that we’ll never know.

“Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” really is everything I would have wanted from a finale (except I guess for a kiss, even just a familiar peck!). If you were to jump from the second to last episode of season 7 “Je Souhaite” straight to Lost Art of Forehead Sweat and call it a day (skipping Mulder’s abduction and super…

I think their attempt to continue the nuance was the moment at the end of the episode where Scully basically says that she’s not saying it was spontaneous human combustion, but it looked a lot like spontaneous human combustion, and Mulder says that on the other hand, there were a lot of candles around.

Witkowski’s presence on the team is befuddling. Last night was a typical example of his contributions. He went out there to take a cheap shot at a star player, missed, beat a guy up. Subsequently the momentum swung the complete opposite way, Minnesota ended up scoring twice quickly afterward and never took their foot…

Scully bought Mulder’s house for him (them?) to live in when he was a fugitive. I assume after their falling out she bought the most “baller” house she could with her doctor money.

...Or become one.

Mulder and Scully haven’t asked Skinner how he’s doing in 25 years.

He absolutely will and it blows my mind. For me the hype leading into the revival was my assumption that we would finally get to see a planned ending. Not an ending where they didn’t know whether or not they would be cancelled; not an ending meant to cast off the leads and essentially reboot the show with new…
