I listen to every episode, and he’s never mentioned specifically how it happened like he did here. For fuck’s sake, that sounds scary and I’m happy that he seems to have recovered for the most part.

Zach Lowe was using “son” as a verb a while back, and he is the squarest of square dads.

Wendell was a joke for a long time—perhaps deservedly so—but as a general rule, it actually more productive to send the runner than to hold him. I.e., the default decision should be to wave unless there is a reason to hold.

This was better than butter?

Westbrook one of the best players ever to have on your team so long as winning the title is not your realistic aim. Alas.

The rightful national anthem:

It’s sports, not a murder trial. Forensic analysis is not necessary. Entertainment, emotions, fun, all that soft shit that the MUST GET CALLS RIGHT side seem to ignore is what makes people care about men kicking a ball on grass in the first place.

Russ is obviously a polarizing figure, but why the anti-PG sentiment?

Sometimes, in these rarest of times, I'm glad to have spent the amount of time I've spent on Twitter.

This nips in bud just about every logistical problem because the Saturday NXT show has already been established as part of the Mania Weekend.

On the bright side, now you can take a bathroom break every 20 minutes because YOU’RE A MAN.

Woah, that last part

“Keep trying hard and one day you, too, will have 40 acres and a mule.”

Upon initial glance, Steele Fortress seemed the winner. But man, the moment you utter “Shaky Sherpa” is the moment everything becomes clear.

World’s most gloriously absurd band. Cannot wait to see them again soon.
