What makes it maddening is when they do occasionally get it right and if you asked why it couldn’t be like that all the time you know they’d just shrug and say, “Just ‘cause. Reasons.”

This why you can never forget they’re all the bastard child of Smallville. Better writing and soooo much better acting, but at the end of the day writers just shrug and have things happen “just ‘cause” “reasons” and “forced drama” just like Smallville.

As a former employee, I’m glad this was published. I also wish I hadn’t signed my life away in NDAs.

She’s also quite pretty, which would help promote the show, at least in the beginning.

Even if they don’t have any actual ideas they could just reboot Garbage Time on a channel that people are watching.

I mean, ESPN certainly made Woj irrelevant by making him share bylines with Windhorst and Shelbourne.

Nolan’s professional personality is different from ESPN’s traditionally polished and straight-laced pundits, who tend to have made their bones as sideline reporters or columnists.

She’s the most talented, whipsmart, fearless sports presenter to come along since who knows when.
The first time I saw her on TV, I actually called people to tell them to turn on the show.

Katie’s like a…

I remember reading about his funeral and the likes of Maria Shriver (First Lady of California at the time) and John McCain were talking about Pat being with God. Then his brother came up and talked about how Pat wasn’t religious and said he isn’t with God but “he’s just fucking dead.” Then he took the pint of beer he…

As a veteran I am sick and fucking tired of being used as a poster for the right in general. Like a lot, maybe most, people I signed up for a lot of reasons, family, circumstance, patriotism and to get the fuck out of small town. If I’d known 30 years later my service would used like this, I would’ve taken that job at…

Good take from Bob Costas:

Given the Tillman family’s blunt use of colorful language and their cynicism towards the PR that was pasted over his death, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that Trump just try to bring Pat Tillman into this debate.

Had this convo on twitter earlier.

I tutored Tyler Eifert in college and he was without a doubt the dumbest person I tutored in the 3 years I did. He is showing his grasp on history and global politics is no stronger than his grasp on pre-calculus ever was.

Screw you, Redford! I will continue to use Pat Tillman as I patriotically rock out to Springsteen’s “Born in the USA!”

I say or write some version of this every year, but, each season the championship goes to a team that got lucky: Their own players’ Achilles’ tendons didn’t explode and/or some other team’s players’ Achilles’ tendons exploded and/or the seeding protected them from a tough matchup that would have worn them down before…

Yup. this has always been true, I think

The great Denver teams had a reputation for producing great RBs, but it was all predicated on having a great OL

Evidence #4799301 that demonstrates basic upgrade to an offensive line can do wonders for an offense.

As I said, it’s a fine take. The MVP’s a regular season award, so the finals don’t matter, but yes, he was incredible. But Howard averaged 18p, 13r, 2.8b, on 63% shooting (even his FTs were a reasonable 60% that year), and was an absolute monster on defense. LeBron’s statistical season was better, but the vast…

Derrick Rose’s 2011 MVP trophy belongs in Dwight Howard’s house.
